Schoolzone: about schoolzone

About schoolzone

Welcome to Schoolzone, one of the UK’s largest online communities of teachers. Whether you’re new to Schoolzone, or a Schoolzone connoisseur, this page has been developed to ensure you are kept abreast of what Schoolzone offers its community of over 70,000 teachers (and growing).


Why is Schoolzone different?

We appreciate that teachers' voices are vital to improving education. We financially reward teachers for the time they lend to any of our research projects - your ideas and opinions are highly valued!

Since 1997 we have become established as providers of knowledge, information and advice to educationalists and those in the education sector via our website. The website gives teachers:

  • a collection of tens of thousands of free resources
  • free evaluations of products and services on the market
  • lists thousands of events and training opportunities across the UK
  • rounds up the latest news, research and policy changes

 

See what Schoolzone teachers participate in:

  • Peer Reviews: Schoolzone teachers conduct ‘peer reviews’ on resources, services and websites for us to post on the website for other teachers to read.
  • Surveys: Schoolzone teachers can complete the short surveys we run, for which they are financially rewarded and entered into our generous monthly prize draws.
  • Focus Groups: We receive fantastic feedback for our focus group discussions, run across the UK face-to-face in local venues or via online chatrooms. Teachers tell us these are great opportunities to get their voice heard, as well as looking great on their CV. Focus groups usually have 6-10 participant teachers and each attendee is paid £50-£75 for taking part.
