#121: Maintaining Professional Distance as a High School Teacher - Ten Essential Guidelines25 Aug 202400:32:46

As teachers, we often form strong connections with our students as we guide them on their learning journeys. This can be incredibly rewarding for us – we gain much joy from helping our students to improve. However, it’s essential to maintain a professional distance to ensure that our relationships with students remain appropriate and conducive to learning. The ten guidelines explored in this episode have been adapted from research by Willing and Haney (1994). They provide a framework for maintaining this balance. Please note that William and Haney’s research was aimed at ABE (Adult Basic Education) teachers, so I have attempted to back-extrapolate the guidance to cover high-school teaching.


#120: Three Ways to Boost Your Classroom Confidence as a Teacher12 Jul 202400:34:12

Demonstrating confidence in the classroom is the cornerstone of any effective lesson you will deliver. When we, as teachers, are confident, then that naturally builds a sense of confidence that the students will have in our abilities. Our lessons are also more engaging, more organized and more effective when we are confident. In today's episode I describe three ways in which we, as teachers, can boost our classroom confidence.

#110: Tips for Enabling High-Quality Student-Led Presentations in Your Classroom28 Jan 202400:24:16

Public speaking and presentation skills are already in high demand in the workplace, and this demand seems set to increase as we enter 2024 and beyond as soft skills (irreplaceable by AI) become harder to acquire in the workforce. When our students present their research findings or knowledge to the class, they develop and enrich their understanding and they acquire key skills along the way.

#8: The Importance of Patience in Teaching06 Apr 202100:11:03

I believe strongly in the power of patience when working with students. This takes emotional control on the part of the teacher, but the reward is well-worth the wait. By being supportive, referring students to the most helpful resources and allowing each day to offer a ‘fresh start’ for every learner, I’ve found that even my greatest expectations are often exceeded.

#109: How to Improve Your Efficiency When Marking Work by Hand21 Jan 202400:22:27

Sometimes we cannot use peer or self-assessment methods to provide feedback, and we must mark our students' work the old-fashioned way: by hand. This is particularly true for high-stakes assessments, such as end-of-year tests. In today's podcast episode I explore seven ways in which we, as teachers, can improve our efficiency when marking work by hand.

#108: Introducing The P.O.W.E.R. Method of Retrieval Practice14 Jan 202400:22:55

Unless you’ve been hiding in cave for the past five years, it’s highly likely that you have heard the phrase ‘retrieval practice’ being bandied about multiple times at educational seminars, Professional Development workshops and even in the departmental meetings you’ve attended at school. It’s one of those areas of pedagogy that has gotten educators excited due it’s evidence-based effectiveness, as well it’s inclusion, affirmation and promotion of metacognitive strategies (another hot topic in education). In today’s podcast episode I provide my listeners with the following:

  • A simple, understandable description of what retrieval practice is
  • A handy acronym (P.O.W.E.R.) that we can all use to remember the stages we need to follow as teachers when carrying out retrieval practice with our students

In the classroom, we are expected to be entertainers, facilitators and imparters of knowledge. This requires high amounts of energy on our part, every single day.

#119: Is it Acceptable for Teachers to Use Dating Apps?14 Jun 202400:33:13

Is it acceptable for a teacher to have a dating profile? After all, recent statistics by the Pew Research Centre found that in 2023, 53% of singles who were actively seeking relationships had some kind of online dating profile. What is acceptable conduct when it comes to dating app usage by teachers? How can we, as teachers, protect ourselves from unwanted attention and complaints when using dating apps? I aim to answer these questions, and more, in this podcast episode.

#101: On Inquiry-Based Learning08 Oct 202300:22:20

Inquiry-based learning offers a dynamic and engaging educational approach that fosters critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and a deep understanding of subject matter. By encouraging students to actively explore topics, formulate questions, and seek answers through investigation, this methodology promotes a sense of curiosity and ownership over the learning process. Through inquiry, students develop the ability to analyze information, draw connections, and think independently, preparing them for the complexities of the real world. Furthermore, this method nurtures a collaborative learning environment, as students often work together to solve problems and share their findings. Inquiry-based learning not only enhances retention and comprehension but also cultivates a lifelong love of learning, empowering individuals to approach challenges with curiosity and adaptability. In today's rapidly evolving world, where information is abundant and ever-changing, the skills acquired through inquiry-based learning are invaluable for preparing students to navigate and contribute meaningfully to a knowledge-driven society.

As teachers, we play a pivotal and crucial role in the shaping of young minds. This means that we are, in fact, role models for young people. Whilst that concept may seem old-fashioned, it is actually more crucial now, in these times of great flux, than ever before in history.


#98: Ways to Help Students Who Are Living in Poverty18 Sep 202300:36:45

The statistics on child poverty are alarming, and it's highly likely that you are teaching several children (at least) who are financially disadvantaged. In Australia, 1 in 6 children live in poverty, whilst in the US and UK that ratio climbs to 1 in 5 and 1 in 4, respectively. Globally, 1.2 billion children live in poverty, and access to education is often a key factor in helping children escape a life of financial woe. In today's episode, I explore some ways in which we, as teachers, can enact practical strategies in the classroom to help children who are financially disadvantaged. I also discuss some whole-school and community approaches to alleviating the burden of poverty on families and children.

As we bid farewell to the hustle and bustle of the academic year, we find ourselves at the threshold of a much-needed break: the glorious summer vacation.

So, let’s explore some fantastic ways we can recharge, grow, and make this summer unforgettable!


#95: Staff Parties Are Not For Partying13 Jul 202300:32:28

Be careful about how you behave at staff gatherings and parties. It can be really tempting to let your hair down, especially at the start or end of an academic year, but you must remember that your colleagues and managers are secretly watching you (and judging you) when you’re chucking down those pints, shots and bottles of whichever beverage it is that you like. Know your limitations and err on the side of caution.

#94: Instagram Threads and 'Furries': Tips for Teachers09 Jul 202300:30:23

In today's episode I discuss two very popular topics that are getting a lot of press at the moment: Instagram Threads and children who identify as 'furries' (animals). It's important for teachers to know how Threads could potentially be used to support teaching and learning, as it could (potentially) become a more child-friendly, tamer and 'safer' social media application than Twitter currently is. At the end of the episode, I tackle the second topic, 'furries', by providing some tips for teachers who have to teach children who identify in this way.

What happened next was a nightmarish ordeal that would involve him being investigated by the local authority safeguarding body and the DBS. Listen carefully to this episode if you want to learn some important lessons from Mr Huggins' story.


#118: The 7 Golden Rules of Communication for Online Meetings23 Apr 202400:24:10

Even as far back as 2020, during the height of the pandemic, research was being conducted on the effectiveness of video conferencing in education, and some such research concluded that online meetings would remain popular long-after the pandemic was over. My personal experiences have certainly mirrored these predictions – tutoring has moved mostly online, online meetings are still being used by many schools for parent-teacher conferences and schools still find that an online meeting is the most convenient way to bring everyone together efficiently, even if everyone is in the same building! Some schools are still using online meetings for assemblies too – an efficient approach as all of the students can remain in their classrooms and simply ‘enjoy the show’ on the classroom smart board or projector.


#91: 10 Ways to Apply Rosenshine’s Principles to Your Lessons03 Jun 202300:46:01

In this podcast episode I describe ten ways we can apply Rosenshine’s principles to our lessons to help our students achieve their full potential.


#90: 8 Ways to Increase Lesson Clarity13 May 202300:31:41

Our lessons need to be clear in order for students to understand the subject content they are expected to learn. This is particularly important for older students who are preparing for exams, and who are therefore expected to memorize, understand and apply vast amounts of information. In today's episode I describe eight ways in which we, as teachers, can increase the clarity of the content we deliver in our lessons.

#89: 3 Tips For Reducing Your Workload as a Teacher19 Apr 202300:21:23

Teacher workload is a significant issue in the education industry. The workload of teachers can be overwhelming, leading to burnout, job dissatisfaction, and ultimately, lower student outcomes. With a growing emphasis on outcome-driven education, teachers are under more pressure than ever to perform at their best. Oftentimes, however, we are creating work for ourselves through inefficiency - e.g. in the ways in which we assess work and set assignments. In today's episode I will describe three time-saving, worklaod-reducing tips for teachers (with a bonus tip at the end).



#88: Stress Management Techniques for Online Teachers in 202309 Apr 202300:22:30

Being an online teacher can be both rewarding and challenging. While it offers the flexibility of working from home and a broader reach to students worldwide, it also comes with its own set of stress factors. In 2023, as the world continues to digitize, the number of online teachers will likely increase, and so will the pressure to excel.
