In this episode, Toria chats to Andrew Rhodes about how in the rapidly evolving educational landscape it is now more important than ever to ensure that teachers are given the time and space to do what they do best, which is to teach. Redefinition is the action or process of re-looking at something and making a change. As educators is it time to redefine some of the ways we see the world around us and in turn redefine the ways we develop professional creativity?
Andrew has worked in education since completing his BA in Primary Education in 2004. He has been within leadership roles, holding a range of TLRs and Senior Leadership posts; including being a Headteacher in a 1 form entry Primary School that had a Resourced Provision for pupils with Speech, Language & Communication
Difficulties. Inclusion has always been something Andrew is passionate about and as a teacher, tailoring personalised provision for pupils and ensuring that families felt valued as part of the community was always at the forefront of his practice. He is a strong advocate for putting Social Emotional Learning at the very heart of a schools
approach. In addition, Andrew has always sought to redefine the ways in which himself and the people he works with develop their practice and it is this that led him into becoming extensively involved in school to school support.
Andrew finished his headship to launch his own educational company ;Redefining Education Ltd; which aims to support schools, trusts, teachers and leaders to Reflect, Rethink and Transform. Through his website, he has created a blog which can be found here and recently wrote an article on how to develop a “Shared Assessment”
Framework: Assessment in primary schools – Do you need a shared framework? (teachwire.net).
He regularly runs training sessions on “Redefining” elements of practice when not supporting schools and also works as a University Professional Tutor and Lecturer, helping to shape the next generation of teachers.

In this episode, Toria talks to Ross about what questioning is, why it is so important and what makes a great question in the classroom. As they discuss, questioning can be widely misunderstood and not enough teachers have been given sound training in the art of questioning. Over the course of their conversation, they also discuss cognitive science and the power of the pause!
Ross has recently written his eleventh book 'The Teacher Toolkit Guide to Questioning - Turning theory into practice' for primary or secondary teachers looking to understand the importance of questioning to challenge thinking, check understanding, identify gaps in knowledge, improve recall and stimulate intellectual curiosity.
Over the course of the conversation, Toria and Ross refer to various QR codes and a questioning matrix - click below to see what they are referring to -

In this episode, Toria chats with Graham about the importance of looking at the motives behind challenging behaviour and the consequences that come with it. They discuss ways in which these situations can be managed calmly and consistently and how better understanding and empathy can make children feel safer, build their trust, develop belonging and consequently create more effective learners in the classroom.
Graham Chatterley was a school leader who has since led training for thousands of educators across the North of England. He believes that adults play a pivotal role in the behaviour of students and that a culture of teaching children behaviour, rather than managing it, is key.
