Launch into Teaching Podcast

Launch into Teaching is for new and early-career teachers who want to become the next generation of outstanding practitioners. This isn’t a podcast about planning lessons, setting up a classroom or writing school reports. It’s about understanding the bigger picture of how schools work and exploring what makes a great teacher and colleague.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Lyndon - How I organised and structured my VIT inquiry

    For his VIT inquiry, Lyndon examined how written and verbal instructions in his teaching practice affected students.
