What will help boys to succeed in school?

The guest on this week's episode of 'Beyond Survival: the new teacher podcast'  is  Mark Roberts. Mark is an English teacher and Director of Research in a school in Northern Ireland. He is also the author of a range of brilliant books on education. His latest book is the excellent 'The Boy Question: How to Teach Boys to Succeed in School'. You can follow Mark on Twitter at @mr_englishteach.

Today we will be answering the question: what will help boys to succeed in school?  In exploring that central question, we also answer the following:

1. What are some of the mistakes you have seen teachers make when teaching boys? 

2. What advice would you give new teachers in managing the behaviour of boys? 

3. What helps to support boys' learning?  

4. What about motivation when it comes to boys? 

I hope you really enjoy the episode. If you have any feedback on how to improve the show, or would like to come on the podcast for one of the live coaching episodes, please get in touch via www.slowteaching.co.uk, or through Twitter (@teachgratitude1).
