  Jun 1, 202642 minS0

  <p>In this episode I sat down with inclusion expert Craig Duggan (‘Executive Director of Inclusive Learning and Additional Learning Support’ at Middlesbrough College Group) and discussed how inclusion isn’t just about access or provision, it’s about a genuine commitment to keeping every learner in the system, even when that makes things more complex.</p> <p>I asked him the following:</p> The word ‘inclusion’ is everywhere at the moment: White Paper, OFSTED, strategy documents - but it risks becoming a buzzword. From your perspective, what does genuine inclusive learning actually mean in practice? You’ve recently written an article for...

  Ep 14 - Thinking About Thinking: How Metacognition Transforms Learning, with Nathan Burns

  May 8, 202643 minS0

  <p>In this episode I sat down with metacognitive thinking expert Nathan Burns. Over the 45 minute episode we covered the following questions:</p> Nathan, could you start by telling us a little about your journey into education and what first drew you to the field of metacognition? Metacognition is a term many educators have heard, but not everyone feels confident explaining it.

In this part of the episode, we discuss:</p> People often say they ‘use ChatGPT’ or that they ‘just Google it,’ but the reality is that there’s a huge range of AI tools out there - a bit like people saying they have a Hoover when really they own a Dyson.

  Mar 6, 202650 minS0

  <p>This is a 2 part episode with Al Kinglsey MBE. - In this part of the episode we discuss:</p> People compare AI as we see it now, to the early days of the internet. Do you agree with that analogy? And if this really is like “day one of the internet”, what does the potential fast paced nature of technological progress in the next few years mean for schools and colleges? What are the risks for schools that ignore this or move too slowly? Conversely, what are the dangers of rushing in without thinking? How do you strike that bala...

  Ep 11 - Writing for Pleasure: Rekindling Joy Across the Curriculum, with Simon Blower

  Feb 20, 202644 minS0

  <p>In this episode I sit down with Simon Blower (Co-founder of Pobble) and we discuss:</p> What first made you so passionate about writing? And what did you notice about pupils who did enjoy writing compared to those who didn’t? We talk a lot about “reading for pleasure”, but what does “writing for pleasure” mean to you? And why does enjoyment matter so much in writing? Why do so many pupils decide early on that they’re “not a writer”? and what mistakes do adults sometimes make when trying to motivate reluctant writers? You often talk about experiences being the spark...
