  • Sound quality of guests not always up to scratch but enjoyable pod when you can hear it

    Love the show but disappointed with Carl Hendrick’s sound quality. Enjoy all the nerdy content that Adam and Amy bring us each week :)

  • Disappointing

    I came to this after hearing some excellent interviews of Adam Boxer on other shows. Have skipped around thru several eps but cannot listen anymore. By Episode 41 the sound quality has not improved at all, they talk on top of music so that you can’t hear what they say, parts keep skipping and they just waffle on. They need to invest in some better microphones and actually listen to what they are putting out as a final product.

  • Listen on your way to school

    It is great to hear educators talking shop and not holding back. Sometimes the episodes may need the “E” but there are not many teachers I know that don’t swear. A fun and helpful educational podcasters for teachers and educators across the globe. Go on - give it a listen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What three things from cognitive science should every teacher know? With Dr Carl Hendrick
Q: What are the three things that you think every teacher should know?
1. Memory is reconstructive, 2. Engagement is a poor proxy for learning, and 3. Learning doesn't look like learning.
What have the unions ever done for us?
Q: Why should teachers either vote for you or encourage their colleagues to think about voting for you?
I cover both of those. I was an experienced teacher, I'm an experienced trade unionist.
What have the unions ever done for us?
Q: What's changed? What's different? What do schools look like today?
Teachers have always looked exhausted to me, and I was one of them. It was exhausting.
What have the unions ever done for us?
Q: Can you tell me what that job is? What does that mean? You're the national official for Wales.
Effectively, I am the general secretary of the Nasuwt in Wales.
Can Amy and Bill Wilkinson explain the SEN crisis to Adam?
Q: What are micro barriers and why are they important in teaching?
Micro barriers are small challenges that hinder students from succeeding in tasks, and it's important to minimize these to ensure all students can access learning.
