In Part three of my interview with Stefanie Faye Frank, we talk about the importance of developing beginners mind as teachers as a way to teach growth mindset from the context of our own authentic experiences. Sounds scary right? Nope…it doesn’t have to be. Stefanie shares a few easy and tangible ways that you can train your brain to be more adaptable, whether you want to help your students to grow or you want to develop beginner’s mind yourself. Struggle is an essential part of learning. Lean in. About Stephanie: WHAT I DO I show leaders how to help their staff adopt flexible mindsets, become more willing to learn, experiment, and tap into their brain’s highest levels of creative problem-solving. I combine my award-winning research at NYU, and fieldwork at the NYU Institute for Prevention Science, Phelps Lab for Neuroscience Research, the Department of Defense, Albert Einstein College of Medicine with training from meditation masters from India, Africa and Vietnam, and over a decade of counseling, consulting and teaching people on how to maximize their brain’s creative powers. I use interactive strategies as metaphors for scientific principles to help leaders internalize the idea of how these insights work in their own life, so they can then apply it in their work, relationships and daily interactions. WHO IT'S FOR For people who want to see their staff and clients be more open to try new approaches to learning and experiment with new ways of asking questions, solving problems, dealing with failure, and how to interact with others in socially intelligent ways. Mindset Neuroscience activates change using this 4-phase framework: Organizational context first. Your organization's culture – including the beliefs and behaviors of leadership – have HUGE influences your employees' mindset, our attitudes, beliefs, and state. This is the starting point. The mindset of your employees fuels their emotional intelligence, relationship management skills, and perseverance Those ‘non-cognitive’ skills then drive their actions and behaviors Their behaviors drive performance – for themselves, their teams and the organization. http://stefaniefayefrank.com/about/ Her videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgBcrJABukg&t=134s

In Part two of my interview with Stefanie Faye Frank, we explore the dark side of growth mindset and why it’s important to go beyond the superficial teaching of adaptability. We discuss some of the physiological clues that suggest whether a student in experiencing fight, flight or freeze and how to become more aware of our own body language in order to create a safe environment for our students. We discuss top down extremism, which is the belief that our success lies in our ability to control our own thoughts, rewrite our stories. While this can be a powerful model, it’s important to remember that someone’s adverse and traumatic experiences can make it extremely challenging to reframe their thinking. Therefore, thinking alone is not always enough to overcome adversity. We need to be advocates for creating better circumstances at home and within the classroom so that our students can be healthy, happy learners. We learned that when someone is in physiological distress or in a triggered stress response, they exhibit symptoms like alert or flat eyes, tension in their jaw, robotic voice (otherwise known as prosody) and that these micro signals can alert you before a child hits full meltdown or withdrawal mode. My hope is that we can be more aware of our children’s responses to events within our classrooms and allow students the space to regulate themselves when they feel triggered.

In part one of my interview with Stefanie Faye Frank, we discuss how the factory model of education and our behaviorist stimulus-response approach to teaching is holding our students back from being able to compete within the new connection economy. We discuss the importance of running our classroom like an innovation lab, where failing fast is important and taking risks through vulnerability and emotional labour is key to developing the adaptability our students need to be successful in the future. The old model of education celebrated obedience over creativity, promoted stereotyping vs individuality, and resulted in a system that rewarded people for following instructions to spec. The truth is that our students need a different set of skills, they need adaptability and we can help them to develop it through personalization of education. Listen to the next two episodes with Stefanie Faye Frank for our deep dive into how to develop growth mindset in our students and how to create classrooms that celebrate adaptability.

Heads of Department should be the engine room of any school. Ensuring that this is the case, without becoming overburdened by admin or losing trust in colleagues is the topic we unpick this week.  Guest starring Jess Lund, Head of MFL at Michaela School, and very long-winded questions from Paul, we look at the best parts of being a HoD, the pitfalls to look out for, and general advice to anyone who is looking to make their mark as a middle leader. 

Questioning is one of the core aspects of teaching. Often talked about, much debated and sometimes taken for granted, we take the chance to talk to Sarah Donarski about her recent work around how to best approach questioning in the classroom.  Both Paul and Will do their best to keep up with the intellectual level that Sarah brings to the table, with a combination of practical tips, common pitfalls and philosophical musings all provided. 

In this podcast we take a closer look at the importance of pupil well-being with senior educational psychologist Paula Hopkins. We explore the role that schools play in ensuring pupils are well supported and have all the required skills to realise their potential.

This week sees us talk about what got us into teaching in the first place, as well as offer thoughts on whether it has been all we expected it to be. We also talk about what has inspired us over the course of the past year, as well as the ways in which we have learned from those around us.  How we look to set a tone in the classroom and help our students develop in the best way possible has undoubtedly changed since either of us started teaching, and this episode gives us a chance to talk about what this now looks like. 

This episode sees us try to tackle workload head on, and inevitably only scratch the surface of what is an enormous issue in teaching. For many teachers, the idea of a work-life balance will seem a laughable pipe dream, which is something that needs to change. Paul and Will reflect on ways in which this might start to happen on an individual-teacher basis, while also offering some thoughts on where the issues stem from.  Whether you are an NQT who is worried about what lies ahead of you, or a member of SLT who wants to think more about how to address workload in the school, we hope this is a useful starting point on an issue we will definitely be coming back to!

This podcast features two Maths Lead Professionals from Discovery Schools Trust who spend some time discussing the origins, methodology and practical considerations for the ‘Mastery’ approach to Maths teaching. Annalee and Afshah discuss their experiences and provide guidance for listeners about the Mastery approach and offer solutions and support for schools implementing this now.

This episode sees Paul and Will take on behaviour management (for probably the first of many times!). From looking at what the role of senior leaders should be in shaping policies and supporting staff, through to the advice we would give to teachers who are just setting out, we try to talk through how our own experiences have shaped our current approach.  Trying to do as large a topic as behaviour management justice in 40 minutes is no easy task, and so we hope you enjoy this starting point for the conversation. 

This podcast covers a range of examples of effective governance in schools, including maintain schools and Academy Trusts.

An interview exploring the importance of communication and language development in primary settings. The interview also discusses advice and guidance on strategies to improve performance.

A real life interview with the CEO of Discovery Schools Trust, Paul Stone. This interview explains the pitfalls and progress within multi academy trust culture.

This week sees us talking to Peter Maskell, a Latin and Classical Civilisations teacher. We discuss his worst ever lesson, how he came to be involved with Classics, as well as what he thinks the future holds for the subject.  Paul and Pippa also talk through their thoughts on AQA's decision to drop Classical Civilisations and whether single exam boards might be the best way forward. Paul is also given the chance to reminisce when conversation turns to the benefits of FE colleges, while Pippa considers to what age it should be compulsory for students to have to study certain subjects or topics.  If you'd like to be interviewed and share your story in a future podcast, email us at thosewhocancast@gmail.com

This is the first episode of Those Who Can, hosted by Paul Dwyer and Pippa Wadey. Our inaugural episode is a chance to introduce ourselves and talk through some of the things that make us tick in the classroom. This episode will also give a flavour of what's to come in future podcasts; the kind of questions we will be asking, the issues we will be exploring, and a little more about the two of us.  Those Who Can is an educational podcast aimed at teachers and those involved in school life. We all have different approaches to life in the classroom, and this podcast is designed to find out more about the stories behind those who work to help students achieve the best possible outcomes day-in, day-out.
