Struggling to give feedback that makes an impact? Join Tem as she delves into effective feedback strategies to help teachers empower their students. Tem explores actionable tips on providing students with clear and specific feedback to promote understanding, improvement, and a love of learning, as well as saving teachers time!

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Feedback should be specific and timely for it to have an input on the learning of our students and lead to improvements in their work.
• Live marking is a great strategy to help save teacher's time. Teaching Assistants and Teachers should circulate the room giving students both written and verbal feedback as this makes the most impact.
• Self assessment and peer assessment prior to the teacher marking their work can help save time and improves student knowledge and understanding of the criteria.
• Use the feedback sandwich technique: start with a positive, followed by constructive criticism, and then end with a positive comment.
• Acknowledge efforts and celebrate small improvements. Students need to experience small successes along the way to help keep them motivated.
• Link feedback given to the lesson objective or success criteria to make it more meaningful to the students. In the long run, this will also improve the quality of their work as a result of a better understanding of the criteria.

BEST MOMENTS:

DESCRIPTION:

Tem is joined by Ryan Douglas, the host of the Health Wealth podcast, where they discuss the typical food choices that we make as teachers throughout the day and the importance of these choices. Ryan gives us advice on how to eat so we don't snack and what the best foods are to eat to stop us from snacking throughout the day.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• There is a lot of false information out there.
• Having proteins and fats for breakfast keeps us fuller for longer so we are less likely to snack.
• Being stressed leads to us choosing foods that will give us a dopamine rush as that is what our brain needs.
• Sugar affects our health and affects us mentally.
• Fruit still contains sugar but it has added nutritional value unlike high sugary snacks like chocolate bars.
• It is better for us to buy real food not processed foods and buy food locally.
• We shouldn't count calories. It is better to lower the carbohydrates we consume and eat more fat. High carbohydrate and high fats are the worst mixture and this is how we put weight on.

BEST MOMENTS:

"One of the first things is just don't snack"

"What you want in the morning is to concentrate on proteins and fats"

"The majority of mainstream information out there is pretty much wrong"

"Cheap processed foods make the most profit"

"Just eat real food"

"Children are the future, we need to look after their health"

"If their health is really bad technically that's your responsibility"

"Calorie restriction is the worse way to do it"

Teacher well-being plays a crucial role in creating a positive and effective learning environment for our students. Join Tem as she discusses the reasons why happy teachers make happy learners and how this can affect student outcomes.

Tem interviews Annabel from the Balance Strategy about the importance of reducing stress and the impact stress has on our body. Annabel went on a 10 year journey to gain knowledge and experience in nutrition, the body and mind as a result of having multiple seizures which her doctors said were due to her suffering from stress and burnout.

• Asking for help from not only our colleagues, but also our students, can have a big effect on how we are feeling and how quickly we can improve our emotional well-being.

That fine line between being a strict teacher and still being liked by your students can be difficult to find. Be too strict, and on one hand you can cause your students to become fearful and anxious, and on the other hand it can lead to your students becoming rebellious. Be too laid back, and you lose control of your classroom. In this episode, Tem talks about how to become that strict teacher that students not only like, but also respect.

Would love to hear your views so please follow and leave a review in iTunes with a topic that you would like covered on the show, or a guest you would like interviewed.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Be firm but fair. 
• Set clear consequences. 
• Have clear expectations. 
• Be consistent. 
• Have a sense of humour. 
• Get to know your students. 
• Be approachable. 
• Build relationships with your students. 

BEST MOMENTS:

"Our students need to know that we mean business"

"Being excessive will ruin the relationship with your students"

"Letting things slide is a continuous spiral you don't want to end up in"

"Praise your students when they do amazing things but also make them aware of the consequences of poor behaviour"

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

Being told by the Executive Head that my lesson wasn’t very good was, at the time, embarrassing and frustrating. We have all had days when our lessons haven't been very good, but to have one during an observation by the most senior person in the school when I had been teaching for 10 years, felt like all my hard work had been undone in seconds.

In this episode I talk about my observation and what I did next as a result of the feedback given. Although I was initially annoyed, he was a very good Executive Head, and I became a much better teacher as a result of his leadership.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• We are part of a bigger picture. School's have a vision that all staff should be working towards.
• We shouldn't feel defined by a bad observation. Use it as fuel to push forward and prove how good you are.
• Observers come and go, so don't take it personally. Continue to work on yourself and thrive.
• Don't be afraid to sell yourself. Don't be afraid to let your observer know why you think your lesson is good or which parts of your lesson you thought you did well in. At times you can even change your observers mind.
• Take that feedback, run with it, implement it and show them what you are made of.

BEST MOMENTS:

"I didn't really big myself up"

"He proceeded to tell me what he thought of my lesson"

"He wanted me to be like a drill sergeant. He didn't want me to accept mediocracy"

"He wanted me to go, no that's not good enough, do it again"

"They had a colour coding system for the observations at the time. Green for exactly what they wanted to see, amber for things to improve on and red which meant it wasn't good enough"

"And what he gave me was...colourless. I didn't get a colour! I didn't even get red!"

"I implemented every single thing he said."

Myth#3: Teaching is an easy job.

Myth#4: Training days are just an excuse for a day off

In this episode, I talk about the different things I did to support a student who joined my class in year 12 and couldn't speak any English.
