    Evaluating Teacher CPD

    Evaluation is an important part of any professional development programme - it helps you know that what you wanted to achieve is actually happening. But it can feel hard to find the time to do it well, and there are lots of complicated approaches and bits of advice out there. In this episode we'll go back to basics, asking our expert guests what evaluation is, why it matters, how you do it well, what mistakes do people make, and where should you start. We are delighted to be joined by Heena Dave, Karl Edwards, Bethan Hindley, Tom Manthorpe, and Sarah Harding.

    What is Didagogy?

    In this episode we explore a new report by the Teacher Development Trust on what is unique about the teaching of teachers. An expert group has been considering this issue and is proposing a new word - didagogy - to describe the teaching of teachers. But what is didagogy? What is the problem it is trying to solve, what are the issues with creating a new term, and what might the tangible impact in the system? Hear from Andrea Bean (TDT), Professor Tanya Ovenden-Hope (Plymouth Marjon), Sam Gibbs (GMET), Emma Hollis (NASBTT), Lia Commissar (NIOT), and Louise Worgan (TDT).
