"To get you started I’ve put together 13 video tips with practical ideas on how to create a poetry-friendly classroom.

We would love you to send in your own suggestions for poems that work well in the classroom and share your own experiences surrounding the teaching of poetry.

This can be about reading, performing and writing poetry but it can also be about spin-offs into other kinds of activity, or what I could call ‘spin-ins' – that’s to say, how you, as a teacher, got into a poem through other activities. Visit the forum to do this.

Watch this space for new resources, coming soon."
