Episode 88: This week I am delighted to introduce Season 5 of the podcast and another opportunity to take a peek inside the minds of some inspirational teachers. Across this season we’re going to explore teacher development, mental health, evidence informed practice, assessment and much more but first we have the inimitable Clare Sealy and a discussion based around her extensive experience of leadership in a range of contexts. 

What is leadership? What are your guiding principles to leadership? Do those principles change depending on the scale of the leadership role? What do you do in your first 100 days in a new leadership role? We answer these questions and much more. Whether you're new to the profession or an experienced senior leader, you won't want to miss this one...

Episode 87: This week on TDaPE, I'm joined by Adam Smith @MrSmithRE, Elliot Morgan @MorgsEd and Neil Almond @Mr_AlmondED for a very special edition of the podcast - recorded live and in person for the very first time. As we finish our mini-series of episodes with a focus on our preparations for the new academic year, we decided to use the time for an in-depth exploration of interventions and how we can get the most from them from the minute we return to school.

What makes a good intervention? How do we assess the quality of an intervention? When should interventions take place? We answer all of these questions and more in another episode with the potential to wear out your note-taking pencil. Whether you're new to the profession or an experienced senior leader, you won't want to miss this one.

We used the time in the studio to record a special episode for our Ko-Fi supporters, during which we shoot the education breeze, make crystal ball predictions for 2022/23 and begin to put things into Education Room 101 before what we thought was an infinite session was terminated. When that episode is ready you'll find a notification in our discord. A link to which can be found below.
