I am really pleased that you have visited the Tiny Voice Talks website.
I am Toria Bono and the founder of Tiny Voice Talks. 

So, a bit about me - I am a teacher who is passionate about giving children the very best learning experiences that I can and I am also a coach. I recently achieved my Level 5 Diploma in Coaching and find supporting others in the profession utterly fulfilling and hope to grow this role in the future. I have had a breadth of experience – from class teacher to school leader and currently work at a large junior school in the South East of England (six-form intake). I teach Year 4 full-time and am also the Year 4 Leader, Coaching Lead, one of the English Champions and am the PSHE lead too. In June 2020, I was made a Fellow by the Chartered College of Teaching - an achievement that I am very proud of.

​

I believe strongly in equity for all and empowering others. We all have a voice but only by listening to each other and working together can we make a difference. I really do believe that together we can change the future for our children and the future generations. Due to believing in the power of collaboration, I created #TinyVoiceTalks on Twitter for the quieter voices in education to find their voice and connect with others. If you haven't found us yet, then just find my pinned tweet every Tuesday.

 

In August 2020, I started the'Tiny Voice Talks' podcast. I wanted to create a podcast that would give a platform to the quieter voices in education and cover subjects that really matter and that, as educators, we need to know about. Tune in to hear me chat to teachers, leaders, coaches and advisors about what they are doing in the field of education and how this is impacting on the young people in our classrooms.

 

In Autumn 2022, the 'Tiny Voices Talk' book was published - this again celebrates the quieter voices in education. Tiny Voices Talk: Education, engagement and empowerment is a book full of tips, insights and practical approaches pooled from little-known educators with big ideas and all geared towards making a difference for your pupils in your setting. It is available here.

​

When I am not doing all of the above, you will find me out walking, meeting friends for coffee, watching great films with my husband or learning about the world from my teenage daughter!

​

If you are in education and want your voice heard on the podcast, you want to discuss coaching or you want to know how we could work together in the future, then email me on toria@tinyvoicetalks.com - I would love to hear from you.
