Edward is a secondary school science teacher who out of nowhere developed insomnia. This happened for roughly 6 months and was an extremely stressful and tough period to go through.However he managed to fully get over his insomnia and return to being a normal sleeper. As a result he created a website to offer support to others suffering from insomnia.This website also aims to help the wider population to sleep better and to get the best nights sleep possible. This is especially important for teachers who have stressful days and need to arrive feeling fresh everyday.Ed offers two different services. Firstly he helps individuals improve their sleep to benefit their health, performance and wellbeing. Secondly if you are suffering from insomnia, he offers therapy to help you get out of that vicious cycle that is insomnia.Everyone deserves and can get a good nights sleep.

Do you feel the education system is sucking the life out of you and the pupils you serve? I think many of us wish we could click our fingers and make it fit for purpose. A place of growth with shared learning that empowers pupils to be their best selves, so they can create a world they want to inhabit now and in the future. While a magic wand or a visionary politician might sound like the answer I believe change is already happening. Educators are changing futures one conversation at a time. New technology and the environments where we learn are beginning to look different both in and out of the classroom. I hope you are seeing this first hand and are excited about what you can share with your pupils. We are having conversations, sharing organisations and communities that are supporting education in a way that you may have not experienced. Educational change will come from us all working in way that supports the best interests of each of our pupils, personalised learning. Governments and policy makers will follow when they see fully how it can be different. So let us teach, coach, mentor and create an environment that fuels every child with feedback, inspiration, resilience and empowerment. The Education on Fire community is shining the torch, so no matter where you are in the world or how you are supporting children this podcast is here for you. ‘Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.’
