33. Getting implementation right: Upstream, downstream and root causes with Mark Miller 33:50

22 روز پیش33:50

33:50

How do schools successfully implement change that actually sticks? Mark Miller, Director of Bradford Research School, joins us to break down the recent updates to the Education Endowment Foundation's implementation guidance - revealing why the social dimensions of change might be the most critical factor for success. The conversation dives deep into why schools often rush past the crucial "explore" phase of implementation, jumping to solutions before properly understanding problems. Mark shares practical strategies for "shrinking" nebulous issues like literacy into manageable components using frameworks such as the Reading House and the Simple View of Writing. We explore the distinction between upstream causes and downstream symptoms in education - illustrated through the powerful metaphor of people falling into a river. Do we rescue them downstream or prevent them from falling in upstream? The answer, of course, is both - but knowing where to focus limited resources requires careful analysis. Perhaps most valuable is Mark's insight into the three key implementation behaviours: engage, reflect, and unite. These social processes determine whether change efforts succeed or fail in educational settings. When schools unite around core values, engage diverse stakeholders, and reflect continuously on progress, implementation becomes not just a technical process but a powerful catalyst for school improvement. Whether you're tackling literacy challenges, behaviour systems, or curriculum redesign, this conversation offers practical wisdom for making change that genuinely transforms student outcomes. What problem are you really trying to solve, and are you taking the time to explore it properly? Mark has led Bradford Research School since its inception in 2018. He has worked for Dixons Academies Trust for over a decade, having spent many years at Dixons Kings Academy, teaching English and leading teacher development. Before that, he was a lead practitioner in English, working in Leeds. Mark works with teachers and school leaders regionally and nationally to implement evidence-informed approaches that can improve outcomes for all children and young people, but particularly those from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

32. Reading is learning: Breaking down the artificial barrier with Natalie Wexler 35:38

۵ weeks پیش35:38

35:38

Natalie Wexler joins Andy Sammons to tackle one of education's most persistent challenges: the artificial barrier between reading and learning. This eye-opening conversation dives deep into why traditional approaches to reading comprehension don't work - and what cognitive science tells us actually does . Wexler, author of The Knowledge Gap and co-author of The Writing Revolution , unpacks how our current methods of teaching reading comprehension - as isolated skills, divorced from content - fundamentally misunderstand how comprehension works. She explains why background knowledge functions as "mental Velcro" for new information, and why simply practicing skills like making inferences without content knowledge, fails to develop proficient readers. The discussion takes a fascinating turn when exploring how narrative serves as a powerful vehicle for learning across all subjects. Wexler shares compelling research, showing that students who received content through structured narratives demonstrated significantly better understanding than those who participated in seemingly engaging hands-on activities. "The human brain is hardwired to take in information more easily when it's presented in narrative form," Wexler notes, challenging us to reconsider what effective instruction looks like beyond superficial engagement. Perhaps most valuable for educators are the practical strategies Wexler offers for implementation. From sentence-level writing activities like appositives, to structured retrieval practice, to explicit outlining instruction; she provides concrete techniques that enhance both reading comprehension and content knowledge simultaneously. She emphasises that writing about content powerfully reinforces learning, but requires appropriate scaffolding to avoid cognitive overload for inexperienced writers. Whether you're a literacy specialist, subject teacher, or education leader, this conversation will transform how you think about reading instruction. Listen now to discover why bridging the gap between reading and learning is essential for developing truly proficient readers and thinkers.…

Join us on a linguistic journey with Marcello Giovanelli, a renowned expert in literary linguistics from Aston University, as he shares a wealth of insights that will transform your understanding of language, literacy and beyond. In this episode, we delve into Marcello's latest book, written with Jennifer Webb, Essential Grammar (Routledge), a pivotal guide for educators and students seeking to enhance their understanding of language in literature. Their combined expertise offers a new lens to view the integral relationship between language mastery and academic success. This podcast episode explores the unique linguistic identity inherent in different academic subjects, highlighting the profound impact of language awareness on student comprehension and achievement. We reflect on groundbreaking initiatives that integrate language skills across the curriculum, emphasizing the importance of clarity and transparency in academic writing. Our discussion is a call to democratize education by providing learners with the linguistic tools they need to excel in any academic field. Challenging the status quo, we scrutinize the often compartmentalized teaching of language and literature within the English discipline, particularly poignant in the UK education system. A holistic approach that encompasses language and literature together is championed, celebrating recent advancements and the educators leading the charge. As we acknowledge the critical role that language education plays in society, from media literacy to combating misinformation, we conclude with a salute to Charles Dickens' exceptional command of language, which has enriched our discourse and promises to inspire our listeners and learners.
