WomenEd Blogs

By Lucy Did you know that 62% of secondary teachers are women — but only 39% of secondary headteachers are female? Or that only 7% of women in education attempt to negotiate their initial salary offer, compared to over half of their male counterparts? Before reading ‘10%Braver’, I certainly didn’t. It is no wonder that the #WomenEd movement has been growing at such a rapid pace: this book is the much-needed next step to implement change and I wholeheartedly recommend this book to every educator, everywhere.

It was a normal day at the office. A busy day. I came across Ambition School Leadership (@Ambition_Inst) and a Headship course. I first thought – me? Headship? No. Not a chance… but I was 10%braver, without even knowing it.
