#WomenEd: Connecting female leaders in education

Senior leadership
#WomenEd – the movement to challenge gender inequality in school leadership – is gaining momentum ahead of its first official ‘unconference’ on October 3. Co-founder Hannah Wilson recaps the debate that has brought us here and previews the event

An avid Twitter user, in May I stumbled across StaffRm. I was redirected there by a tweet about “glass ceilings” blocking progression for female leaders in education that piqued my interest. I was not to know that I had stumbled across a whole new world.

To be honest, I am not sure how I was so late arriving at the party. For those of you who have not yet checked it out, StaffRm is quite simply a collaborative community of enthusiastic teachers and thinkers sharing, reflecting and discussing education.

The comments and discussions are as rich as the posts themselves. In a matter of days I had connected with people who were voicing educational ideas and opinions that resonated deeply with me.
