Abstract: This piece of writing describes the way Anne Turvey inspired me to develop my understanding of the importance of teachers’ input into education research, and in particular, the value of using a Teacher Journal as a form of research material. Drawing upon my reflections on conversations with Anne and excerpts from journals I kept, I explore how the approach became an important way of me developing both my teaching practice and my writing about education. I consider how, rather than serving as a linear recording of my experience of teaching, the journal served as a site for developing further reflections on the happenings in my classroom, occurring during the process of writing itself. I analyse how, in line with this, Anne’s championing of the unique nature of what teachers bring to education research led to me developing my confidence in my own contributions.
