There are lots of views about how to improve our education system. Not enough of them focus on the classroom. We pursue big structural solutions, when we should be looking at how to create calm, quiet, peaceful classrooms. New post, please share! carouselteachlearnlead.substack.com/p/calm-quiet...

Calm, quiet, peaceful lessons
In the pursuit of a better education system, rather than large-scale reform, we should start by improving teaching in every classroom.

As I may have mentioned recently in a blog….this is my number 1 tip for ECTs. I stumbled across the original blog about it, thought it was worth a try and was blown away by the difference that such a small change could make. (For primary teachers, particularly good close of day!).

i'm not sure - i think that's only needed when you are giving multiple instructions. in Tom's case, its very one-at-a-time, so not strictly necessary, and it looks like the students get on it at the right time

Front-loading the means of participation is probably the easiest quick win for helping ADHD students in the classroom. That student who cant seem to help enthusiastically shout out answers… FLMOP stops it almost immediately.

Lots of behaviour advice is bad. FLMOP isn't. It's a concrete and tangible strategy that any teacher can use to improve behaviour in their classrooms. Read and share 🙏🙏🙏 carouselteachlearnlead.substack.com/p/flmop

Getting better behaviour in the classroom isn’t unattainable. There are simple strategies that really work, and FLMOP is one of the best.

This was a fun episode and I particularly enjoyed the Alpha School segment. It seems that @adamboxereducation.bsky.social and @amymayforrester.bsky.social are not fan…. The tales of Alpha kids going on X were wild. (Also, first time I have heard it described as “progressive” in. approach).

hello nick. this is a very odd thing to say, and pretty much doesn't warrant a substantive reply. the only thing i'll say is that carousel isn't an LMS, so you should probably delete what you've written :)

Hi Josh! "she" has a name, but I can see elsewhere you found our comments "arrogant and disrespectful". I suggest if you don't like the content then you don't need to listen, or you can ask questions politely and we can engage in conversation.

Great to see a primary guest on the podcast! Very interesting views although didn’t entirely agree with Cathie Lock’s spicy take on primary school libraries. I think they can work well in the right circs. Roll on more primary guests!

Absolutely this, I do feel for teachers because being on it like this is hard work. But having supported in classrooms & seen the impact of different styles it makes a huge difference in engagement. There have been times as a supporting adult I struggle to remember when things arent presented well.

First up @adamboxereducation.bsky.social with a retrospective: Five things he has learned since starting teaching. He finishes with a challenge for the day: identify two or three things to implement in our teaching. Challenge accepted.
Five things that Adam Boxer has learned since starting teaching: 1) Discovery and inquiry don’t work due to CLT, 2) you can’t teach students to think like a scientist, 3) short term performance doesn’t necessarily mean long term learning, 4) retrieval and 5) good CPD is about changing classroom practice.
