    Edufuturists #231 More Than Results with Will Goldsmith

    Edufuturists #231 More Than Results with Will Goldsmith

    In this episode, we are joined by Will Goldsmith, Head of Bedales School.

    This was fascinating. We covered:


    Removing unnecessary hierarchies
    Promoting student agency and responsibility
    Co-curating a community WITH students
    Developing value to the wider educational system
    Preparing students in school for specific academic curricula
    Bringing your authentic self to your work

    Will and his team announced last year about scaling down GCSEs in their school. It won’t take a rocket science to realise that this resonated with me & Steve! This has been mischaracterised as scrapping exams or arrogant ‘you must do what we do’ proselytising. The link to one of the articles is here.

    Thanks so much for joining us again for another episode - we appreciate you.

    Edufuturists #230 The Mother of Invention with Ed Kirwan & Dr Helen Demetriou

    Edufuturists #230 The Mother of Invention with Ed Kirwan & Dr Helen Demetriou

    In this episode, we are joined by a returning guest in the form of Ed Kirwan, Founder  @EmpathyWeek  who brought with him a powerhouse in Empathy Education, Dr Helen Demetriou from the University of Cambridge.

    We talk about how empathy is a skill that can be developed, the difference between empathy and sympathy and also how it is the foundation for all other skill development. As usual, it's a whirlwind through lots of iconoclasm - exams, prescribed curricula, teacher workload - all in the name of building a future for education.

Well Worth It

This podcast is great and should be added to your playlist if you are teacher that is using technology in your classroom. I have a bunch of ideas for my 1:1 classroom after listening. I'm excited for more episodes. Keep 'em coming!

Hilariously educational

This podcast keeps you laughing and learning all at the same time. The banter between the hosts is fun to listen to, and they cover all types of educational technology topics.
