"Education inspires hope." Jordan Wylie 2022

Morethanajob podcast in association with ResearchEd have the pleasure to welcome Jordan Wylie. Jordan is a former soldier of the British Army, adventurer, author and TV personality as a cast member of Channel 4’s Hunted series. Jordan does a huge amount to raise money for charity, is a TEDX speaker and is also an ambassador for the Army Cadets in the UK.

Listen to Jordan discuss his early life growing up that wasn’t always that easy, growing up on a tough council estate in Blackpool, getting in trouble with the police and leaving school with no qualifications. 

Jordan discusses the highlights and lows of his 10 years dedicated to Queen & Country in the British army, serving in N.Ireland and Iraq.

Jordan talks of his maritime security career including the moment when he was protecting a ship attacked by Somali pirates. This event went on to inspire his first book ‘Citadel: The True Story of One Man’s War Against the Pirates of Somalia’ – which became a Sunday Times bestseller.

Jordan speaks honestly about his struggle with mental health from 2015, suffering from severe depression and extreme anxiety. 

Hear about Jordan's thirst for adventure and risk and how he climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro bare foot, rowed solo across the dangerous Bab El Mandeb Straits, ran the deepest underground marathon and recently completed the Antartica Extreme Ice Marathon as part of his attempt to successfully run 10 marathons in the 10 coldest places on the planet. 

Star of Channel 4's Hunted programme - listen to Jordan's experience as a hunter!!

You’re a visiting professor at the University of Bolton and a Senior Visiting Fellow for Bayes Business School. How much respect do you have for the teaching profession as a fellow educator yourself? Have you ever been taught how to teach?

Maurizio, you talk openly about your love of learning and the benefits of having a hunger for knowledge and you say ‘Nothing is impossible if you desire.’ Is the basis behind the setting up of esharelife?

You backed Matt Hancock’s dyslexia bill. Why did you feel this was an important campaign to support?

Morethanajob Podcast in association with ResearchEd has the absolute pleasure to welcome the greatest duo, partnership and bromance in education – Tom Sherrington & Oliver Caviglioli. They need no introduction as their reputation proceeds them and it is our absolute pleasure to welcome them both to the podcast for the first time as a duo.

Welcome to the podcast!

What have you both been up to since we saw you last at ResearchEd Surrey?

We have the completion of the trilogy! Walkthrus 3 (https://www.johncattbookshop.com/teaching-walkthrus-3-five-step-guides-to-instructional-coaching) is being pre-ordered now and due for release on the 18th April. How does WT3 compliment WT & WT2?

How does the writing process happen between you two? Who decides the colour? Oli – we love the avatars of Mo & Melissa but what’s your inspiration behind designing these avatars?

How would you recommend we use the Walkthrus? Should ideas and strategies be clustered?

Walkthrus 3 has 23 guest authors!! How have you come up with ideas for this edition? What is different about this edition?

You write a Walkthru focussed on seating plans and you open by talking about designing the arrangement. Is there a proven best classroom layout? Is there advice you’d give to teachers as where to seat PPr, SEND students etc?

You have focused on the a Walkthru guide for ending lessons and the last 10 minutes – why is this so important and what are the best steps to effectively ending a lesson?

How will this Walkthrus guide support curriculum development and curriculum leaders? What in particular would you say are the key messages from Walkthrus 3?

I was particularly drawn to your chapter on ‘Advance Organisers’ based upon the work of Robert Marzano et al. Is this an indication now that we’re increasing the level of expectations of students – I didn’t start pre-reading until I started university. How do we embed this into practice and school culture?

We are finally seeing a move away from rigorous and ineffective marking policies with priority rightly being given to feedback. You have developed a Walkthru about ‘Assessment Portfolios’. Why have you included this, how are assessment portfolios used and is there any evidence to back their use?

Morethanajob podcast are huge fans of the Walkthrus series and we have all used them and can see the impact. What would you say to those who haven’t come across the Walkthrus before and why would it benefit them to use the series?

Fun Questions

MG: If you could travel to anywhere in the world that you haven’t yet been to, where would you go to and why?

MG: Who is your favourite Sec of State for Education and why?

JW: Oli, you are stranded in Tom’s Learning Rainforest, what two items would you take with you? The items cannot be used to aid survival?

DB: Who’s the most famous person that you have ever met and what did you say to them?

DB: What next for you?

Morethanajob podcast in association with ResearchEd have the pleasure to welcome Simon Antwis to our 50th episode! Simon is a former Headteacher of three schools, having qualified as a biology teacher at the start of his career. Simon is a former school inspector and now a senior education consultant at STEER education.

https://steer.education/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Young-Peoples-Mental-Health-in-the-UK-STEER-Report-Feb-2022.pdf 

Tell us about life growing up for you and your own experience of education in your school years?

What made you want to come into teaching?

We are going to dig deep into the findings of the mental health report that STEER have published today, and we will make this available for our listeners to view. This was an extensive review gathered from schools for year 7-13 students. Almost 100 UK mainstream secondary schools were included in the sample, with an assessed student population n > 15,000. This has been an extensive report. Can you start by giving us the key headlines of the report, before explore areas in greater depth?

The report shows that the pandemic has an average 25 % adverse effect on student’s self-regulation with girls are particularly affected, with a 33% decline. Why is this? What should schools be doing now to recover this?

The report shows that boys’ self-regulation outside school has actually improved during the pandemic. Why have boys had a better outcome than girls?

This data provides strong evidence that public exams have a direct negative emotional effect on the wellbeing of students. Surely STEER are not advocating the end of exams based upon this data?

Are there any significant differences between state schools & independent schools?

Morethanajob podcast in association with ResearchEd have the pleasure to welcome former PPS for the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs and former special advisor to Prime Minister David Cameron on Central & Eastern Europe, Daniel Kawczynski MP for Shrewsbury.

You were born in Warsaw, Poland and moved to the UK aged 6, then attending a Roman Catholic School in Surrey. Can you tell us about life growing up for you and your own experience of education in your school years? How did this impact on your own emotional intelligence in politics?

"[At Boarding School] We were beaten and punished severely."

You were special advisor to Prime Minister David Cameron on Central & Eastern Europe, and of course born in Poland yourself. What are your thoughts on the current crisis between Russia and Ukraine? You were born at the height of the Cold War and your parents would have grown up during the most heightened of tensions.

"Everything changes when you have a border with Russia."

"Britain has played a disproportionate role in Europe and will continue to do so."

When you were younger you prayed to be heterosexual and tried to ‘train your brain’ so as not to feel an attraction towards other men. What are your thoughts on the debate about the place of LGBTQ+ being taught/having a place in schools? Notably some schools in Birmingham have come under real scrutiny for teaching of LGBTQ+. How did you feel once you had revealed your sexuality?

"Be proud of your sexuality."
