  • This Teaching Life: Does The Punishment Fit The Crime? - Episode 11
    In this episode I discuss my work around schools and look at some issues that have to be dealt with during the course of a working week.
    I also look at the whole area of the centenary of the Armistice in 1918 and the consequences of the harshness of the surrender terms. This has lessons for the work we do with children around the whole area of behaviour contracts and 'punishments' that have the potential to be counterproductive. I also look at Outreach work and how some schools feel that it appropriate to place Outreach teachers' in inadequate and sometimes unsafe work areas.
    The following link to a blog article also gives example of resources that the individual teacher can use in-class and for personal enjoyment:

  • This Teaching Life: Working With Children In Care - Episode 10
    In this my latest episode I discuss my Outreach Support work with children and schools. I look at the parameters we need to work within in order to achieve long term gains for these children as there are no 'quick fixes'. I also look at the whole system around children in care and how the education system and the care system can find themselves at odds regarding perceived timescales for progress and the methodology used to achieve this progress.

  • Is Your Classroom or School Like an Ailing Car? - Episode 9
    In this episode I relate back to an evening I spent getting my son's ailing car back from Dublin.
    During the journey I got to thinking how few people on the road actually realised the problems I was having just to keep the car moving with the flow of traffic and I wondered if a lot of teacher's maybe spent their teaching year struggling quietly without anyone really noticing?
    Indeed, I extended my thinking out to include whole schools and indeed some businesses could be the same..have a listen.
