For English Sake

18/09/2026

Sometimes the best ideas are kept at the bottom of our shelf. Another time they are simply left on "somewhere-in-the-future-to-do list". How about focusing on HERE and NOW? So...

If you believed you really COULD publish something, what would you create?

Have you ever thought, “I’d love to publish something…but I’m not really an author”? Maybe it’s time to rethink that.

At Voices of Change Publishing, we believe great ideas from educators shouldn’t stay hidden in classrooms, notebooks, presentations, or conversations.

And publishing doesn’t have to mean writing a huge academic book!
💡One idea can take many forms:
📘A professional or practitioner book
💡A collection of teaching ideas
🧰Classroom resources and practical materials
🤝A collaborative publication with other educators

And yes — first-time authors are absolutely welcome.

You don’t need to have published before. You need an idea, something worth sharing, and the willingness to develop it.

Your experience might help another teacher.
Your classroom idea might work on the other side of the world.
And that little idea you keep thinking about?
Maybe it deserves to become something bigger.

What if the most sophisticated leadership model in existence has no PowerPoint, no framework, and even no certification?
What if it's been running for thousands of years - and we just stopped listening?

My article below.

Grateful to 🤹‍♂️Shehzaad Shams, founder of Eclectic Leadership, for the conversations that brought this into focus.

A quick question to all teachers and trainers:
How's your student-centeredness?

"We're not here to fix your English. We're here to find you in it."

One of the most important thing I say and keep in mind while working with professionals, students, educators and teachers - and you'll find why in my article as EduVerse Issue 28 is here!

Theme: Student-Centeredness in Motion: Agency, Identity, and the Learner Within

In this special issue, educators, researchers, and thought leaders from around the world explore student-centeredness beyond strategies and activities. Together, they invite us to rethink agency, identity, belonging, meaningful learning, and the role of education in a rapidly changing world.

Inside this issue:
📖 An exclusive Ask the Experts interview
🎓 Student Voices Booklet
📊 Special Feature: Pearson's Global Scale of English (GSE)
..and much more!

And share it with anyone who might find it helpful.

We are currently preparing for our first online event on July 7th, so follow our page to stay updated! 🔥

Why do communities matter?
Because no educator should have to do this alone.
The best ideas, strongest support, and biggest opportunities often come from the people around us.

At VOC, we're building a global movement where educators can:
⭐ Be recognized
📈 Create impact
✔️ Find simple ways to connect and grow
🙌 Feel empowered to make a difference

When educators share experiences, encourage one another, and work together, amazing things happen.
This is more than a network. It's a community built by educators, for educators.

💙 Follow VOC and join us as we build something special leading up to our July 7 launch.

Rise Together. Change Together. VOC

Your voice matters.
Your ideas matter.
You matter.

This is the belief behind Voices of Change — a global educator community where teachers, trainers, and education leaders connect, share, collaborate, and create meaningful impact together.

Because change does not happen in isolation.
It happens when we rise together.

Voices of Change
Rise Together. Change Together.
