Key research question: What is the influence of parenthood on teacher
identity, effectiveness and well-being?
Subsidiary questions: What are the factors, at micro, macro and meso level,
that affect teacher-parent identity? Which practices and policies are effective in promoting
well-being and effectiveness of teacher-parents and how could policy be further developed in this area?

Contexts Why ‘Netnography’?
Setting the Scene
Teachers have hearts and bodies, as well as heads and hands, though the deep and unruly nature of their hearts is governed by their heads, by the sense of moral responsibility for students and the integrity of their subject matter which are at the core of their professional identity. They cannot teach well if any part of them is disengaged for long.. (Nias, 1996, p.305)

Hi Emma,
Thanks for getting back to me on Twitter.
We ran your blog about parenting and teaching last week on our education news round up.
I thought it was really interesting and I wanted to get in touch with you about a couple of things.
Firstly, I edit the Guardian Teacher – the Guardian's online community of teaching professionals. We like to get teachers blogging for teachers on our site – if you would be interested in writing for us please do let me know.
Secondly, we are running a roundtable event on 17 June at the Guardian offices about teacher wellbeing – what issues teachers face and what more can be done to stem the increasing trend of stress in the profession. We'd love to have you there – would you be interested in me asking our events team to extend a formal invite?
Best wishes
