40. Rosie Georgiou - KS5 Lead and English Teacher - London

In this episode I’m speaking with Rosie Georgiou. Rosie is an English teacher, KS5 Lead and PhD student living in London. She first came to my attention during the most recent TeachMeetEnglishIcons event, in which she discussed the process and benefits of creative writing in English.During our conversation we discuss:The best text Rosie’s ever read, taught or been taught?The ways in which creative writing can be metacognitiveThe relationship between creative writing and pastoral mattersThe advantages of journaling and free writing and how they play a part in Rosie’s practiceHow she has led students to legitimately reflect on the creative process and whyAnd lastly, how often does Rosie’s dept explore creative writing in a year level or across KS3It was real pleasure to speak to Rosie at length about the creative process as well as how that translates into teaching practice, feedback and assessment. For those of you who haven’t seen it, I’d really recommend her presentation for TeachMeets too.
