Summary

62 percent of teachers in secondary schools are women but only 39% of secondary headteachers are female

Only 7 percent of women in education will attempt to negotiate their initial salary offer, compared to 57percent of their male counterparts

One in four teachers who quit the classroom in recent years were women aged 30-39

What would you do to make a change today if you were 10 percent braver?

This is the ultimate guide for women in education. Written by leading members of the grassroots #WomenEd movement, it offers guidance on how to attain and succeed in leaderships positions, alongside nuanced analysis and debate of topics including: the gender pay gap, gender stereotyping in schools and beyond, the realities experienced by BME leaders and how flexible working cultures can redress inequities.

Each chapter gives advice on how we can all change things for the better, as individuals, in our schools, and across the system, and how you can be part of the #WomenEd movement to improve equality in education for everyone.

"This book matters because it is guaranteed to inspire, to educate and to spark a much-needed clamour for women to assume roles of influence throughout our education system." (Alison Peacock, chief executive of the Chartered College of Teaching)

Presenter spoilt the book

Overall this book was enjoyable and informative. I learnt a great deal. However, the presenter of this sounded robotic so it was enjoyable to listen to, despite the content being brilliant.

Interesting but hard to listen to.

Narrator sounded very ‘digital’ and slow. Speeding up the recording to 1.2 speed helped massively.

The reader is a challenge to listen to but there’s some good content

I had to listen to this on a faster speed. The reader voice is very flat but there are some really interesting points. Overall I really enjoyed it, but with lots of visuals and references not available to see (without going to another link) I think I’d probably have preferred to read the book.

Such an annoying voice

Desperate to listen and feel bad to admit that I just could not get on with the readers voice so didn’t make it past chapter 1 so can’t review what I think is a brill book!
