Zoe Enser
I'm an experienced educational professional who has worked across the state sector for over 20 years. Specialisms in English Language, Literature, Media, Film and literacy across the curriculum. Also middle leadership, staff development and development of effective teaching and learning strategies across schools.
I am currently working as a Specialist Advisor for English across Kent. Not only do I offer support in curriculum design and English teaching, but also Middle Leadership, whole school pedagogy and curriculum development and topics such as working with disadvantaged students.
I also am an occasional writer for TES, Secondary Magazine and I blog at Teachreal.co.uk. I am also the co-author of the upcoming book Generative Learning in Action written with Mark Enser, and published in conjunction with Tom Sherrington, Oliver Caviglioli as part of the 'In Action' series. I have also written case studies for Michael Chiles book The Craft of Assessment, Jamie Thom's Quiet Teaching and Mark Enser's Teaching Like Nobody's Watching. I am currently working on a project around teacher development.
Commentating on what motivated her to write the book with her husband, Zoe says:
"I had been a long time follower of Tom Sherrington and had seen him discuss a range of topics at ResearchEd events as well as having read his books, so I was obviously intrigued when he approached me to see if we would be interested in writing a book for his ‘In Action’ series. I had been aware of Generative Learning for a few years and used some of the strategies in my own classroom, but it was only as I began to delve into the research behind the activities that I began to realise how powerful it could be. Of course, I was then keen to tell Tom we would be delighted to write the book."

I am a teacher, leader, author, blogger and speaker. I am currently Assistant Principal: Teaching, Learning and Staff Development at Co-op Academy Leeds, and have worked at a number of other schools in West Yorkshire, as a Head of English, an AST and a Lead Practitioner. I am the author of the best selling book, ‘How to Teach English Literature: Overcoming Cultural Poverty’ (2019) and ‘Teach Like a Writer’ (2020), both available on Amazon.
I deliver regular online CPD to hundreds of teachers every month and raise funds for a number of charities through ticket sales.
I am privileged to work with a highly talented and dynamic team, learning that leadership is hard but rewarding, and that mistakes are gold dust if you embrace them.
I’m mum to two beautiful little boys; the most important and challenging job and learning experience in the world!
I blog in order to develop myself, reflect on my experiences and share good practice.
