Guidance

Blogs are typically 600-800 words around a central idea or argument. For example, it could be about:

• The changes you would like to see in the education system and a rationale for why;
• One of your school’s Signature Practices;
• A piece of good practice you have seen in another school;
• Making the case for change in leadership, pedagogy, curriculum or assessment by interrogating the problems and identifying issues with the current system.

*

Style guide:

• Be written in plain English;
• Include clear arguments or evidence;
• Not be written in too formal a language;
• Perhaps include anecdotes or quotes from pupils, parents or staff;
• Have a picture or image to accompany it;
• Include your name, organisation name and role (and contact details if you want to).

You can view our Big Education blogging site for blog styles.

Blogs undergo a review and editing process, so please don’t worry if you are asked to make a few changes during the process.
