Mr Barton Maths Podcast

Dani Quinn, Head of Maths at Michaela Community School, is celebrated for her innovative approaches to math education. She dives into lesson planning strategies that emphasize differentiation and challenge, along with the impact of low-stakes tests on students' retention. Dani shares her personal journey from math struggles to teaching, highlighting the significance of understanding the 'how' in mathematics. The discussion also covers engaging Year 7 students through effective strategies and reflects on the balance between enjoyment and educational outcomes in lessons.

Jo Morgan returns to the show to discuss how she is approaching online teaching 6 months on from when she first experienced it. It turns out lots has changed. Jo has some great advice and resources for making remote teaching effective and manageable.
