Teach – What does it mean to be an effective educator today? We unpack evolving pedagogy, practical strategies, and innovative ways to engage, deliver, and assess learning in a rapidly changing world. Tech – From cutting-edge tools to tried-and-true platforms, we explore the latest in educational technology and share insights on how to bring it meaningfully into the classroom. Lead – What makes a great leader in education? We shine a light on leadership styles, practices, and stories that inspire transformation and growth in schools and beyond. Whether you’re a teacher, school leader, or simply passionate about education, Teach, Tech, Lead will inform, challenge, and inspire your practice.

In this episode of the Teach, Tech, Lead podcast, Gus and I spoke to Damir Odobasic - an award-winning Ed Innovator, conference presenter and speaker about how students think, remember and transfer knowledge. In what ways are digital devices and technologies disrupting or changing learning? Is AI any different? Damir has developed a simple (yet robust) Lesson Intelligence Framework, which which discuss in detail. Hope you enjoy it!

This pod (and the one-pager linked below), will give you some answers - but likely, many more thoughts about the ways we teach students to work independently! Hope you enjoy!

In the latest of our one-pagers, Gus and I discuss Success Looks Like... How can we best convey to students our expectations surrounding a task or activity such that they have the optimal chance of success? This pod (and one-pager linked below), will give you the answer to that question and make it (as Gus likes to say) hard for them "not to learn"! Hope you enjoy!

In the latest of our one-pagers, Gus and I discuss You Do This! Explicit instruction is a well understood teaching strategy - but what is the best way to get started? This pod (and one-pager linked below), will give you a clear method for delivering instructions to classes of any year level in a way (that Gus likes to say) makes it hard for them "not to learn"!

Gus and I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Lisa Cohen, who along with Lianne Kady are the founders of Elevated Educators (www.elevatededucators.com.au) and Blooming Classrooms - a researched backed behavior and wellbeing program supporting school teachers to thrive. I quite like the phrase on their website: "from frazzled to flourishing". Lisa and Lianne work to empower educators to feel seen, supported and equipped with real world strategies to manage student behaviour, strengthen classroom culture and stay in the profession they love. Hope you enjoy it!

In the latest of our one-pagers, Gus and I discuss Catching the Volcano! Class discussion can be fun and engaging - but frequently, our students leave our classes without a sense of the main points of what was discussed. At other times, class discussions can wander off topic, leaving us feeling like we dropped the ball. There is an answer! The solution is outlined in this one-pager called ‘Catch the Volcano!’ To get some ideas on how you can implement this, read our one-pager linked below! Hope you enjoy!
