  • Tuned in interviewer and Great guests.

    Loved Brendan’s interview with my favourite Linguist- Lyn Stone.

    Pertinent questions, great overview of where to start with the Science of Reading. Lyn mentioned so many great resources and ideas. And summed up some of the most important areas to focus on with literacy. Yaay!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S04E11 - Dr. Haili Hughes on How Teachers Really Get Better
Q: How can schools move from generic PD to granular, subject-specific development?
The approach should start with precise learning problems, map local expertise, and then fund protected time for subject teams to collaborate, test strategies, and share outcomes, ensuring learning is cumulative and resident in the school's collective knowledge.
S04E11 - Dr. Haili Hughes on How Teachers Really Get Better
Q: What are the key differences between the UK and Australian systems that educators should consider when implementing evidence-informed practice?
She highlights centralised vs. distributed approaches, the role of national versus local standards, and the risk of importing other countries' models wholesale; the need for a local, context-driven approach with strong foundations in memory, prior knowledge, and explicit instruction that respects teacher expertise.
S04E11 - Dr. Haili Hughes on How Teachers Really Get Better
Q: Can you share how your career path and move to Australia shapes your view on teacher development?
Dr. Hughes emphasizes that leadership should be grounded in classroom practice, and she describes how her non-linear career brought a focus on mentoring, teacher development, and system-level structures to support teachers rather than merely shifting into leadership roles.
S04E07 - Unpacking The Morningside Model & Beyond with Karina Stocker and Dr. Russ Fox
Q: What does highly responsive explicit instruction look like in the moment?
It involves responsive teaching during the 'we do' phase, where prompts are faded or intensified based on each learner's responses, continually shaping instruction in real time for accurate responding and progress.
S04E05 - Dr. Kimberly Nix Berens on Applying the Science of Behaviour and Precision Teaching to Accelerate Learning
Q: Why is fluency such a central concept in this approach?
Fluency represents a functional mastery that correlates with retention, the ability to apply skills to new tasks, and endurance under longer or more challenging conditions; it's measured as rate of correct responses over time and informs both progress and instructional decisions.
