  • Shining a light on wonderful work of teachers

    All too often teachers are bashed in the papers for failing kids (I notice as my partner is a teacher and I'm in education). It's nice to listen to something positive that shares stories of the great work being done by teachers across Australia. Great that the podcast is profiling different people every week- look forward to future episodes.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Reading, Reasoning, and AI: A New Era in Education
Q: What are your thoughts on this given that it is a blue screen environment? Is that reading?
Reading on screens differs significantly from reading books, impacting comprehension and the immersive experience needed for effective learning.
Reading, Reasoning, and AI: A New Era in Education
Q: Is reading proficiency one of the strongest predictors of later academic success and wellbeing?

Reading, Reasoning, and AI: A New Era in Education
Q: How do they get help? Can you perhaps break down just a little bit of practical advice for schools? What could be their starting point?
Assessment is a great starting point to identify students struggling with reading, followed by using targeted interventions based on specific needs.
Reading, Reasoning, and AI: A New Era in Education
Q: When you look back at that span of your work, what's your understanding about how reading is understood, taught or perhaps even debated in Australia?
There have been huge changes in the last 10 years regarding the systematic teaching of phonics, which now acknowledges its importance alongside vocabulary and comprehension.
Reading, Reasoning, and AI: A New Era in Education
Q: If you had to distill a core message of that title into one key conception or idea for researchers, policy makers or teachers, what would you hope that they would take from that?
The key message is to keep our eye focused on the purpose of reading, ensuring children not only can read but are motivated to keep reading and understand how that shapes them as thinkers.
