What can we do to improve diversity in education? How and why does research have the power to silence teachers, and what educators can do about it... In our 44th interview on the Teacher Toolkit podcast with Darren Chetty, teacher, writer, and PhD student at UCL, listen to Darren and Ross McGill discuss diversity and education. In this 15-minute episode, we delve into what the Philosophy for Children movement is and why it's Darren's PhD focus. We reflect on Darren's schooling experiences as he moved around the country, explain how to reinforce the importance of listening to children and understanding their experiences; describe the traits Darren believes effective teachers show; discuss how research has the power to silence teacher's experiences and explain what Hip Hop Ed is all about.
