Read the transcript

Classfern Pro brings teachers together. The forum is for members only. Pick a forum by phase or subject, then ask a question or reply to one.

Read the forum rules first, and never post anything that could identify a pupil. On the job board, filter by type and phase, and apply on the school's own website. Schools never ask applicants for money.

If a job does, don't pay, and tell us. Schools can post jobs too, and every listing is checked before it goes live. The Exchange Finder helps you find a partner teacher or school, for visits, job shadowing, virtual exchanges or class twinning.

Give a city, never an address, and ask your head first. Find out more about Classfern Pro at lessonplanner.info.

The free tools always stay free.
