About Education: a Clusterf_ck in Need of Repair

This podcast is about the mess we've made of teaching and learning - part information, part rant, and mostly ideas for change; positive, radical, practical, useful ideas for positive, radical, practical, useful change. This is my shoulder to the wheel of the thing I care about. Thanks to Jaylikethealphabet⁠ for the use of the song "Bread" Keep up with the conversation: Instagram & TikTok: @educationclusterf_ck

Episode 2:3 Good, Bad, or Indifferent- Who are we making in Schools?

This episode, part rant and part philosophy, considers the role of teachers and education in helping kids decide who they want to be and how we help them get there. Not as futureastronauts, sports stars, or influencers, but as humans with a moral center and a deep understanding of themselves. No pressure.

Episode 2:2 The Inconvenience of Humans.

This episode was inspired by an article on education in which the words child, student, and teacher were conspicuously absent, replaced by discussion of politics, data and money. What happens to schools when people become an inconvenience for the system? What motivates that and how do we stop it? Keep up with the conversation: Instagram & TikTok: @educationclusterf_ck

Episode 17: Off Script; Skin in the Game

The big news about this episode, Off Script: Skin in the Game, is that I’m speaking extemporaneously- no script. We’ll see how it went. And I’m announcing a break until mid-September- a classic summer break from teaching. AND I discuss who has skin in the game of teaching. Wow, that’s a lot for such a short episode!

Episode 16: Agency #3: I’m in Love

This episode completes our exploration of the role of agency, for both teachers and students, as a component of constructivist teaching. With a focus on WHY to do it, HOW to do it, and WHAT stands in the way of doing it, we start and end by asking, why is this so fucking scary for the system?

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
