Episode description

In this episode of the podcast Femi and Matt share their thoughts on four different topics selected from X (formerly twitter): 'textbooks', 'locking the toilets', 'group work' and 'moving schools'.

They discuss what the ideal textbook looks like, mixed revision, and workbooks.  The pros and cons of locking the toilets during lesson time, mobile phones, and managing students asking to go to the toilet during your lessons.  Group work, independent practise, collaboration, variety in activities around the school, and noise levels in the classroom, and finally some thoughts both for colleagues starting in a new school in September, and for leaders in schools receiving new colleagues in September.
