Today's episode is a bonus Teacher Talk. My new book 'Talking To Teenagers: A Guide to Skilful Classroom Communication' is out today (24th February). 

In this talk, I give a fifteen minute overview of the purpose and motivation for writing 'Talking to Teenagers', and an introduction to the five communication principles that are the basis of the book:

1. Understand the complexity of the teenage audience
2. Master the non-verbal
3. Script and teach behaviour 
4. LEAP in classroom discussion. 
5. Drive motivation, build habits. 

I hope you enjoy the episode!
