Haili is a lady on a mission.
Well, three actually! First and foremost, as someone close to the classroom, she has always been committed to the young people in her care.
Working until very recently full time in a successful school in the north of England, Haili not only knows how to ensure all pupils excel academically, but also that no-one needs to be bound by the circumstances around them.
In other words, through her experience teaching English, she teaches that nothing is written. Indeed, as if to prove her point, from her council estate roots where she was the first in a family of eight to stay in school post-16, she battled through homelessness to complete three Masters degrees and a PhD, is a regular TES contributor and has not one but five books out so far with seven more scheduled for the next year.
Since leaving full-time teaching Haili has been able to expand her influence on education in a number of directions from teacher training at Sunderland University, where she also leads on mentoring development, and working on the Early Careers Framework with UCL to delivering the NPQ in Leading Teacher Development for Teach First and her appointment as Director of Education for Iris Connect.
