This week's episode marks the 3rd webinar from the boys at AWBOE. We were joined this week by DHT Marie Kerr from Smithycroft Secondary School in the east end of Glasgow. Marie came on to share her experience on how to best manage behaviour in the classroom and gave good practical examples of how to implement restorative practice effectively. We decided to change the way the questions were created this week by asking the listeners upon sign up to think of a question they would like answered. We then chose 4 questions from the list that we felt captured a wide range of concerns in relation to this topic.

This week we are joined by former head of PE and Olympic British Hockey coach Murray Carnie. Murray shares insight into his philosophy that he developed as a PE teacher through the years. He also tells us about his time as a hockey coach and how he was able to transfer the things he learned from coaching at the elite level into his teaching practice. We also received some top tips for introducing hockey to a class for the first time - it would have been rude not to pick his brains on this. An episode we wish we could have recorded in person with lots of laughter and jokes at the hosts expense!

#49 - Cooperative Learning with Dr Ash Casey by Lewis Cleland

Today we are joined by Professor Kate Wall on AWBOE. Kate’s work focuses on the development of innovative pedagogies and research methodologies (including visual approaches) that facilitate effective talk about learning (metacognition). As a former Primary teacher, she is interested in the development and exploration of democratic spaces where learners can talk about their experiences of learning. Today on the podcast Kate discusses the value of practitioner inquiry. She has worked extensively in partnership with teachers of all ages and stages, using practitioner enquiry approaches and has a growing interest in how tools with pedagogic and methodological origins can be used to support the development of practice. Kate has used the same ideas when working under a 'students as researchers' or ‘student voice’ heading with children as young as 4. Finally, Kate is interested in methodologies for gathering learners’ views on experience, curriculum and learning.
