Tips for Teachers

I’m a secondary math teacher, and I discovered Craig’s book, How I Wish I’d Taught Maths, this summer. I took pages and pages of notes and am very excited to employ many of his strategies in my classroom this coming year. While the book gave me some excellent guidance into what I want to do in my classroom, the podcast is great for helping me see what that might actually look like in practice, with tangible examples.

This is hands-down my favorite research Ed podcast. I’m an adjunct math instructor for a university, secondary math tutor, and elementary homeschool teacher. I need evidence-based techniques I can apply NOW for a wide variety of ages and math levels. This podcast delivers. You won’t be disappointed. Craig rocks!

I’m a history teacher in Massachusetts and I wish that the education renaissance that has been happening in England would reach our shores! I was happy to recently learn that Craig Barton had started a new show! He is a great interlocutor & asks the best questions of his guests. He reads my mind with some of his questions! I really enjoyed the Tom Sherrington & Dylan William episodes. Must listens! His interview with Sherrington on Mr. Barton’s Maths was also excellent.

I’m a teacher in training in Alaska and even though this podcast is coming from across the pond, it is packed full of useful and applicable ideas (with the references to back them up!) for the classroom. I’m so grateful to be learning about these ways to better engage my students, manage my classroom, assess usefully and purposefully, and plan more wisely. There’s just too much I’ve learned to get it all down here but suffice it to say, I have some very lengthy notebooks full of useful ideas, information, and references (for diving deeper) from this and Mr Barton’s other podcast. Thank you!! Please keep providing this awesome service for us educators!! It means a ton to me, I’ve shared it with my other teachers in training, and I look forward to each new episode ☺️
