Teach Sleep Repeat

Join us for a chat about the current state of OFSTED in schools and the committee report into what needs to happen to change the horrific narrative around school inspections. What are the main problems currently? What are the most important and urgent changes we need? Is the new chief inspector serious about change? Hope you enjoy the talk! Let us know what you think on Instagram. Find us at @teachsleeprepeatpodcast

School absence is at crisis-level post-pandemic and doesn't seem to be budging much. We chat about the underlying causes, why playing the blame game won't help & what are the actionable steps that need to be taken to solve it. We look at a cross-party committee report from the House of Commons and the suggestions it made to the government. The fining system is limited and doesn't seem to be doing the job. Instead, it impacts low-income households disproportionately. What's the solution? Join us for a good chat! Follow us on Instagram: @teachsleeprepeatpodcast

The initial findings of the Teacher Workload Reduction Taskforce have been published and make for interesting viewing. The government have already responded to two suggestions, ruling out an extra INSET day but promising to rapidly review performance related pay. How many of the recommendations are actually helpful? How much is even going to affect most schools? Can we really trust the government to implement meaningful change? And most importantly.... What's the point unless Ofsted is fully reformed? Join us for an in-depth chat and let us know what you think. Instagram: @teachsleeprepeatpodcast

How do primary schools timetable an over crammed curriculum? Are some subjects given too much time compared to others? Can a more flexible timetable have more pros than a fixed one, or is the change too disruptive? Over 50% of people we polled on Instagram said they would change their school's timetable, but does anyone have the *perfect* balance? We talk about everything from specialist teaching, unfixed PPA times & what even *is* the purpose of the timetable? Hope you enjoy it!

The boys see in the new year with the usual light-hearted look at the last week & the 12 months ahead. Both set a daily target for 2024 and set up a competition to see who will last the longest. Silly games are played, government 'leaks' and the usual shenanigans. Thank you so much for all of your support in 2023 & here's to 2024!

Join us for a festive hour of laughs, quizzes, games and anecdotes! It's Christmas and boy are we ready to celebrate. Hayden tries to ruin Christmas for Dylan. Dylan serves up the hardest quiz round you'll ever see. They both rant about how rubbish turkey is. It's not to be missed! Merry Christmas to all of our listeners, and we will see you before the new year! Instagram: @teachsleeprepeatpodcast

Noticed your health, fitness and wellbeing declining over the years as a teacher? Us too! This week we chat with Martin Malone, an ex-teacher who is now best known as 'The Teachers PT' and pick his brains on how to battle against the relentless pressure of the job, and ultimately stay fit and healthy. If you find this as tricky as we do (now more than ever with new babies to keep us busy!), then why not write in with your experiences? Perhaps you could motivate us to get fit! (we doubt it).

Hello and welcome to a laid-back, fun bitesized episode from Dylan & Hayden. We enjoy some more blind ranking, discuss how much money our fingers are worth & Hayden tried to catch out Dylan with the ultimate friendship quiz. If you want to lighten up your commute, this might just be the thing for you. It also might not. Enjoy & make sure to find us on Isntagram @teachsleeprepeatpodcast

Welcome back valued listener/customer/friend! This week we lean into our unhinged and playful side with an episode all about Christmas! We play games. We talk about Christmas in school. We reminisce on our own good times. We delve into Christmas parties for the kids and Christmas parties for the adults... Loved recording this and we love you if you're reading this. Why not get in touch? We might even reply!... Instagram: @teachsleeprepeatpodcast email: teachsleeprepeatpod@gmail.com

We are BACK in the same room with a full, normal, feature-length episode. Hayden debriefs on life as a new dad with his 2-week old, Dylan laughs at Hayden going through exactly what he did last month and EVENTUALLY we talk about the drastic changes in the teaching profession. We talk about the macro changes over decades, which are mostly for the better. We then talk about how drastically the career has changed since we started teaching about 8 years ago... This time, not mostly for the better! Hope you enjoy, and if you do please consider leaving us a rating and sharing the podcast far and wide.
