Teach Sleep Repeat

This week, we are delighted to be joined by the wonderful Maddie Moate. Maddie is a children's TV presenter, YouTuber, Author and West End star who has just released her latest book "How Does It Work?" which inspires curious children to understand how the world around them works. In our chat with Maddie, we discuss the importance of science, why fostering curiosity in children is vital, the desire to have more role models in STEM for young children (especially girls) & what her book does to try and do all of the above.

It's not the most interesting or riveting read, but many teachers simply are not aware what is in the School Teachers Pay and Conditions Document and this leads to many teachers not knowing their rights.Whether it's directed time, additional word, PPA arrangements, TLR payments or just wellbeing in general, in this episode we read you word for word what the document outlines should be given to teachers, give our interpretation & hopefully empower you to know what should and should not be expected of you at work.Please share this with any teacher you know!Follow us on:Instagram: www.instagram.com/teachsleeprepeatpodcastTikTok: www.tiktok.com/teachsleeprepeatpodcast

This episode was inspired by a recent string of not-so-nice comments on social media from people who clearly have something against teachers... So we wondered... Why?! Who are the main groups? Where do they get their ideas from? & why are the minority of people always the loudest?!Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/teachsleeprepeatpodcast/Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@teachsleeprepeatpodcast

This week, we reflect on our trip to BETT! We met loads of amazing people & companies, but also felt a bit overwhelmed by the choise and size of the event. So, it inspired this week's episode. Yes, there are SO many cool edtech opportunities out there... But how many can schools actually afford? Can we train our teachers adequately? What's the point when English and Maths scores rule the roost? We talk about 7 truths in teaching that we all need to be real and accept, as well as talk about as much as possible. Throughout the episode, listen to Deb Lyons (computer science ambassador in a northern local authority) and Tony Cann, the founder of Learning by Questions. They both give their takes on the difficulties facing teachers and what they are doing about it to fix it!

In this episode, we breakdown some of the best tools / schemes we use in the classroom. With about 20 years teaching experience between us, we talk about what works for us, as well as how they could be implemented in a classroom. From EdTech to scemes of learning, everything here is something we have personal used and benefitted from. Just because it's not on our list doesn't mean it's bad! We'd love to hear what tools you couldn't live without as a teacher! Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/teachsleeprepeatpodcast/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@teachsleeprepeatpodcast

We've all either felt this way or had a conversation with a teacher that goes like this... "I would leave but I just feel like I can't" It's a widespread thought and this week we dive into WHY it is the case. What are the pros of teaching? What are the scary bits about leaving? What can you do about it if you feel this way? As always, pure honesty and openness from us, discussing real issues, trying to provide solutions and having a laugh along the way.
