Pete Cheung, associate lecturer at Sheffiedl Hallam Univeristy, has had a long and varied career in teaching and teacher training. Pete joins me this evening to share his wealth of experience and discuss the importance of teacher 'education' rather than teacher 'training'. We chat about the changes to teacher education that are taking place, and make tentative predictions for the future! We also cover the importance of being reflective as a teacher and why we should never stop learning.

Tune in and talk it out with Teachers Talk Radio.

Listen back to Kalil's festive-themed Christmas quiz show - full of tricky questions, punchlines and laughter. The show included rounds of general trivia, questions about movies and music, a round where participants had to name the song from its lyrics and also featured an impromptu live musical performance from a fellow TTR host!

 

There could only be one winner, so listen back to find out who it was!

 

An all-round festive fun episode for the whole family!
