Robbie Coleman, former Head of Policy at the Education Endowment Foundation and lead author on their Teaching and Learning Toolkit, has created Proxima, a new organisation applying the latest evidence and innovative technology to create powerful new ways of training teachers.

In this episode of the Oxfordshire Teacher Training Podcast, Robbie and Matthew Coatsworth discuss Intensive Practice - a significant component of the forthcoming ITT requirements - and how this can be achieved. They introduce an exciting new collaboration between Proxima and Oxfordshire Teacher Training that may be of significant interest to all ITT providers.

This is the first of (at least!) two episodes - we look forward to sharing the results of our research in early 2023.

In this episode of the Oxfordshire Teacher Training podcast, Matthew Coatsworth discusses the wonderful work of the NCETM - the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics - with NCETM  Professional Development Leads and Oxfordshire Teacher Training Mentors Claire Shorrock and Crispin Hoad. Claire and Crispin outline some of the key work of the NCETM, the BBO Maths Hub, Teaching for Maths Mastery and the five big ideas, as well as how to cater for the wide variation of mathematical ability within classes and how to adapt teaching effectively.

In the latest episode of the Oxfordshire Teacher Training podcast, Matthew Coatsworth sits down with Jade Pearce, Assistant Head Teacher at Walton High School in Stafford as well as Evidence Lead in Education and member of the EEF Expert Voices Group.  They discuss effective CPD, the importance of a coherent approach to CPD and also the phenomenal free resources Jade has made available through her Twitter page @PearceMrs. These include short introductions to some of the most important evidence-based resources in education that are 'best bets' to improving the quality of teaching and learning, as well as practical approaches to using these best bets in the classroom.

Regular listeners to the podcast will remember Matthew discussing Jade's work on the Great Teaching Toolkit  with Rob Coe in episode 23. If you haven't listened to that episode yet, it is highly recommended, as is episode 27 on the Early Career Framework with Sam Twiselton and Lynsey Hunter, also referred to in this latest episode.

We hope that this episode will be of particular interest to our cohort of part-time Associate Teachers due to complete their programmes in December 2021: we are very proud of your achievements and wish you the best as you start your careers as teachers. You have chosen the best job in the world!
