Episode Snapshot - Oh What A Season!

To celebrate the success of season 2, let's highlight the key nuggets of knowledge shared by the guests featured on the show.  Dave Smith kicked off season 2 of the show discussing, Effective and Sustained Leadership in Challenging Environments and his three core principals of Believe, Encourage and Inspire! 

Next, our English as an Additional Language specialist Kamil Trzebiatowski enlightened us with the strategies and resources we can use to teach EAL learners.  In particular, he shared the pedagogy behind effective EAL teaching and learning.

Next up, Mark Anderson, an award winning blogger and former classroom practitioner, explored IT applications.  Host Kelly Long and Mark  discussed which IT applications are the most effective for learning and they delved into what framework to use when choosing IT suitable applications for learning. 

Lisa Ashes rounded off the featured guests’ interviews by sharing strategies on Managing Challenging Classroom Environments and Behaviour.  Whether you are a seasoned teaching pro or new into the classroom, Lisa has pro-active and re-assuring behaviour management ideas you need to be using. 

And then the Happiness and Wellbeing Series opened up a wider conversation about the happiness and wellbeing of our schools and what we can do as individuals to manage our own levels of happiness, but also what we can achieve as a collective to overcome adversity and difficulty.  You can find that mini-series across episodes 65-69. They are certainly worth of a listen and a re-run to gleam and practice all of the advice shared by our Wellbeing experts.
