That Teacher Podcast

In this episode Teacher Coach Josh Vine unpacks one of the most valuable cultural shifts a school can make. Many schools are realising the power of being an "open door" learning community.

Schools should be a place where it's not only students who learn but the teachers also. This episode is confronting to the culture of isolation that is plaguing the teaching profession.

Join Teacher coaches Josh Vine and Amanda Peet as they unpack the "You Do" phase of the I Do, We Do, You Do protocol developed by Hollingsworth & Ybarra. The "You Do" is the opportunity for students to practise and master the knowledge and skills that the teacher has taught in the previous phases (I Do & We Do).  It's the phase where extension and remediation work is also highly beneficial. A great lesson will provide students with ample "You Do" time where they can feel a sense of personal accomplishment and success because they have been taught using the gradual release method of I Do, We Do, You Do.
