TREP - Episode 7 - Dr Rachel Taylor p.2

Welcome to Episode  of The Real Education Podcast!

In the second episode of two parts, Chris and Tamer speak to Dr Rachel Taylor; neuroscientist, researcher, writer and commentator. Most interestingly, however, this particular doctor has also taken a PGCE because she was unsure of how the education system worked.
In this part we discuss the state of assessment and how it doesn't represent children's knowledge, the importance of experts and how the education system makes children feel "stupid".

Every episode you can expect a new guest from the world of education.
