The Floppy Hat is a blog shaped by the habits you pick up while completing a doctorate: reading closely, thinking critically, and choosing words with care.

It’s a space to ask better questions about teaching in single-sex contexts and to explore why male and female teachers may approach the work differently.

This blog also provides an opportunity to share ideas that challenge practice thoughtfully while valuing what educators already know and do.

Ultimately, the aim is practical and constructive: to support and retain great teachers, better prepare new ones, and contribute reflections and provocations that enhance (rather than replace) our existing body of knowledge.
