Lee Reid

Before becoming a teacher, Lee Reid worked as a research scientist investigating new treatments for neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and depression. He has been teaching for six years and is presently a senior leader in a large comprehensive school in Sussex. He is particularly interested in research that evaluates best practice to improve the attainment of children from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

“Something wicked this way comes” is a phrase that every teacher I know can relate to. You don’t have to be a fan of The Bard’s wonderfully evocative imagery to know that within every classroom there exists, just beneath the surface, a complex interplay of social and emotional dynamics that if expressed can make teaching almost impossible - unless one is mindful of the emergent possibilities and exquisitely judicious when dealing with the consequences, should they be necessary.
