Psychology teacher and Deputy Head, Mark Healy, joins me to discuss the distinction between cognitive science and cognitive psychology, their potential misuse in schools, and how schools can build a culture whereby staff willingly engage in meaningful CPD. Mark will also return soon to discuss sleep!

Robert is a US maths educationalist and all round legend. He is the brains behind the Open Middle website, and the depth of knowledge framework. In this episode we delve deep into problem solving using those two key ideas as a stimulus, and also discuss effective CPD. It is a good one!

“Teaching from home” is a series of episodes dedicated to supporting teachers who are working from home amidst the Covid-19 outbreak of 2020. There will be technology focussed episodes - just how does remote teaching work? But also episodes focussed on the practicalities of coping with setting students appropriate work whilst also having to look after your own children at home. Then there are issues of safeguarding, differentiation, mindset and more that I hope will come up as we progress. There will be maths teachers, teachers of other subjects, and primary school teachers. There will be teachers from the UK and overseas. Hopefully something for everyone.

Paul Kirschner, an emeritus professor of educational psychology, and Carl Hendrick, a director of research at Wellington College, explore the intricacies of how learning happens. They discuss the impact of minimal guidance in instruction and share insights on effective strategies for remote teaching. With humor, they relate teaching to culinary arts and address the balance between personal lives and education. The duo emphasizes the significance of foundational knowledge and the transformative power of teacher-student relationships in navigating educational disparities.
