Most of my students probably don’t think very much about the Resource Vault I create for each of them.

That’s rather the point.

They don’t think about it. But they use it.

Every lesson, every essay, every set of notes, and every piece of feedback has a permanent home, organised so it’s easy to find between sessions, and even months later.

Even the filenames follow a consistent pattern.

And that doesn’t include the additional resources I pack into the vault. Things I create specifically for individual students, or useful stuff from my 11 years of classroom teaching.

None of this is especially glamorous.

But good teaching is often built on small decisions that remove friction and unnecessary obstacles. The less time students spend searching for resources, the more time they can spend thinking about literature. Especially when they start revising in earnest.

Sometimes the best teaching isn’t what happens during the lesson.

It’s everything that quietly supports it afterwards.
