The Teaching Delusion:
- Gentle introduction question, listeners will be familiar with you and your book 'The Teaching Delusion' from your summary in a previous podcast but could you tell us a little more about you and your career to date?
- BIG question starter , what is the purpose of school and a pertinent follow up is will this change as and when we return?
- 'Learning in schools is different from learning without schools because learning in schools involves students working with professional teachers, it is the interaction between teachers and students that is the essence of schools' . What difference can teachers make and what are the key messages from educational literature and research?
- What are the key factors that lead to high quality student learning?
- Which teacher and leader mindsets enhance a strong professional learning culture?
- Something I'm very interested in is creating a professional learning culture. How do you suggest listeners can enhance their PLC?
- Lesson observation and evaluation remains controversial , could you tell listeners about your lesson evaluation toolkit and the 'instructional model' suggested by Peter Cole?
- How important is lesson planning and how do you suggest using the lesson evaluation toolkit to support lesson planning?
