In this podcast we continue to explore workplace learning. Drawing on the work of Tony Rossi, lisahunter, Erin Christensen and Doune Macdonald, this podcast considers how successful trainee teacher often need more than good pedagogy to thrive. They also need to share the same interests in traditional male sports as current staff, (2) be a team player, and (3) have the type of humour that allows then to (a) turn a blind eye, (b) laugh at senior colleagues’ jokes, and (b) be able to take a joke themselves.

In this podcast we continue to explore workplace learning. Drawing on the work of Tony Rossi, lisahunter, Erin Christensen and Doune Macdonald, this podcast considers how many different versions of themselves trainee and early career teachers need in order to thrive in schools. Indeed it seems they often need to be different people depending on which room they’re in.

In this podcast we continue to explore workplace learning – particularly the subtle differences that exist between the staffrooms or PE offices we each experience. Drawing on the work of Tony Rossi, lisahunter, Erin Christensen and Doune Macdonald, this podcast considers the different spaces of teacher education. Specifically, it recognises that what you and I might see as a safe space might be perceived by another as an unsafe or challenged space. Consequently, we must be mindful of the experiences of all when considering teaching and teacher education and the tightropes people walk between research and practice. 

This podcast explores workplace learning – particularly the learning that occurs outside of the formal process and in the staffroom or PE office. Drawing on the work of Tony Rossi, lisahunter, Erin Christensen and Doune Macdonald, this podcast considers the different faces of teacher education. Specifically, it explores the unchallenged idea that learning to teach is best done in schools where issues of power and tradition have a strong part to play in the early careers of novice teachers. "Biting your tongue", "turning a blind eye" and 'playing the game' are just some of the messages to emerge from this book and our discussions, as is the need for some pre-service teachers to fit in to a department rather than stand apart.  

This podcast explores issues of race in physical education and physical educational and teacher education. Drawing on the work of Langston Clark in Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, we consider what a critical race pedagogy of physical education might be and acknowledge the need for allies and advocacy in this journey.
