Episode 203: In this episode of Thinking Deeply about Primary Education, I’m joined by teacher Jake Cowling to delve into the intricacies of lesson design. Drawing on cognitive science and principles of explicit and direct instruction, we discuss how intentional lesson planning can transform teaching and learning.
