Supporting Quiet, Shy and Anxious Children with Dr Susan Davis and Dr Rhiannon Packer

So here we are, the newly regenerated version of the PGCE Podcast!

We're now known as Emma and Tom Talk Teaching, and hope this will encourage more serving teachers to listen to us and realise that we're here for educators of all types! Hope you enjoy the snazzy new artwork and remixed podcast theme music too.

For this first episode of 2021, we're talking to two colleagues from Cardiff Met who specialise in supporting quiet, shy and anxious children in the classroom. Dr Susan Davis and Dr Rhiannon Packer tell us about a gloriously simple intervention that pays dividends with these children, and gives us an insight into how we can help them feel comfortable and safe in the learning environment.

The book reviews this episode are:

Criado-Perez, C (2020) Invisible Women. London: Vintage

Van Ness, J (2020) Over the Top. London: Simon and Schuster

Also, Rhiannon has a book out around about now! It's All Change! Best Practice for Educational Transitions, and it's published by Critical Publishing. Congratulations, Rhiannon!
