Effective teaching with Dan Jackson
Manage episode 315405029 series 3294212
This is my conversation wtih Dan Jackson from Teachers PD.
From classroom teacher to Deputy Principal, Dan now has a thriving business supporting teachers improve their teaching and learning strategies. He runs online courses, custom PDs as well as a free podcast called the Effective teaching podcast. His podcast is a fantastic opportunity to learn from educational experts that share best practice. The episode are short and sharp and perfect for people who want to know more without having the time to read all of the educational research out there.
I was even privileged enough to contribute (less as an expert and more as someone on the ground level), listen here: How to leverage learning styles with Laura.
We talk about:
- the importance of networking with teachers
- how to improve best practice
- the systematic issues within education
- the decision to homeschool
- how to measure a good school (and my article in the Wine with Teacher magazine)
- intellectual property laws for Australian educators
and so much more.
Dan's top educational reads:
- Understanding by Design by Grant wiggins and Jay McTighe
- Teach like a Pirate by Dave Burgess
- Embeded Formative Assessment by Dylan Wiliam
- The Learning Power Approach by Guy Claxton,
- Transforming Schools by Miranda Jefferson and Michael Anderson
Additonal:
- Deep Work by Cal Newport
- Trevor Mackenzie - all books
- Sir Ken Robinson
I also reference this post from Beck (@continuousclassroom) in my intro.
Please look after yourself, put in healthy boundaries and ask for help if you need it. This time of year can be a very stressful and overwhelming time for many of us.
Feel free to support me an dmy work by buying me a virtual coffee.
