Episode 277: Should teachers be able to take PPA at home?

In this episode of Thinking Deeply About Primary Education, Kieran Mackle is joined by Adam Kohlbeck to explore one of the most debated issues in schools right now: whether planning, preparation and assessment time is better spent on site or in a space where teachers can think more clearly.

Together, they discuss the difference between genuine planning and simply producing slides, the conditions teachers need for deep professional thinking, and why collaborative planning only works well when it is structured properly. They also examine what this debate reveals about school culture, trust, accountability and leadership.

The conversation also looks at a major new research trial led by UCL, in partnership with the Chartered College of Teaching and funded by the Education Endowment Foundation, which will explore the impact of allowing teachers to take PPA at home.

This is a thoughtful discussion about workload, professional trust, teacher wellbeing and what it really takes to support great teaching.
