Goodeyedeers

Goodeyedeers is a team of two retired educators, Mike Jackson and David Horner, combining our experience and expertise to create resources for teachers and homeschoolers.

We believe children should love going to school. That is what we keep in mind when we create teaching resources for TpT. Our goal is to create high-quality products that are easy to use and fun for the children.

David Horner taught English and Drama for 15 years. He went on to be an advisory teacher with Cheshire LEA for 6 years and then a freelance writer and storyteller for nearly 20 years. He has an MA in Creative Writing from Lancaster University. Mike Jackson was a primary school teacher for 36 years and taught all the primary ages from Reception to Years 6 (Pre-Kindergarten - Grade 5). He has a BEd degree from Manchester University.

Mike Jackson - I’m a retired primary school headteacher. Over a period of 25 years, I was headteacher of three different primary schools in the UK. I’ve always had a great passion for learning and a particular interest in how teachers can harness the potential of technology to enhance that learning. Since retirement, I’ve been following my love of storytelling and some years ago created a blog called ‘Storytelling’ where I publish my flash fiction. I also enjoy writing Twitter Fiction! David Horner - Before my retirement, I was a full-time freelance writer and performer; provider of workshops and in-service training sessions. I spent a number of years delivering readings, performances, workshops, training sessions, lectures to around five hundred schools: nursery, primary, secondary and special. I’ve also worked with higher education students/lecturers, librarians and community workers. I’ve had a number of my poems published in many magazines and anthologies; won prizes in national competitions as well as being broadcast on BBC local and national radio and on television.
