In this episode, I'm taking to Chris Youles. Chris has experience being an assistant head, english lead, writing moderator, and a specialist leader in primary education. He is also a published author having penned: Sentence models for creative writing: A practical resource for teaching writing and more recently Teaching Story Writing in Primary: Curriculum-aligned, classroom-ready resources and strategies. It was regarding this latter book that i reached out to Chris for a chat, knowing that just like his first book, the more recent one would be packed full with practical insights that I could go about implementing in class as soon as possible.We discuss:1. Given that the vast majority of the book would be pertinent for my Y10 and 11 IGCSE cohorts, why did Chris go with 'Primary' in the title2. What does he make of Joe Nutt's observation that there is a vanishingly small number of students who will actually go on to be writers and therefore, time spent in the English classroom might be better spent on more practical or relevant modes of communication3. What are the constituent concepts that we can break story down to and introduce across the curriculum4. Why plotting is described as the most difficult aspect of planning or writing a story5. When Chris thinks classes or students can embark on truly independent writing6. And finally, Chris' advice for best practice around student sourced ambitious vocabularyThanks a lot to Chris for the taking the time to talk with me as well as writing yet another excellent book about not just the how of expressing yourself through writing, but the why too. Keep an eye out for his next publication too: Sentence models for non-fiction writingIf you want to be kept up to date on when educational chat like this happens, then be sure to subscribe to the podcast and/or follow me on Twitter @chrisjordanhkLinks:Chris' books

Andrea returns from our very popular podcast episode 'From Teaching to Tuition' and today we are doing a subject deep dive into English Literature.   There are options galore when it comes to English Lit so buckle up while we do a whistle stop tour through the main offerings, look at what you can expect on the different papers and discuss how to choose the right specification for you.

For today's podcast, I am joined by Damian from Earthlings Learning to talk through the Cambridge IGCSE in Environmental Management.   This exam is a great choice for home educators and is often the first one that a home ed child will sit. So settle back and hear all the ins and outs of the exam, what you can expect and how to maximise your enjoyment of the subject.

Today I am joined by Jeanette from Get Keyed Up and we are doing an in depth study guide for Citizenship GCSE and Global Citizenship IGCSE. These are great, relevant qualifications open and accessible to home educators.   We compare the two options and then look at the community projects, the type of questions you'll be asked and which is the most maths / essay heavy. Do check it out and don't forget that all our episodes are archived on our youTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@HomeEducationMattersUK.

I am delighted to be joined by Amy from E-Learn with Amy to guide us through the new and very popular Marine Science IGCSE.   We discuss what you can expect from the exam, the topics, questions and the practical component to help you and your child prepare for the exam.   Do check out all our other episodes on Podbean, your usual streaming service or archived over on our youTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/@HomeEducationMattersUK

Today's podcast is an up close and personal look at Economics. Helen guides us through all the exam options so that you can choose the exam specification that suits your child. We talk about the layout of the exams, which has the most Maths, which has the least writing and lots more.    Don't forget that our wonderful podcast will be drawing to a close this summer so if you'd like access to our library of episodes, join us on youTube @HomeEducationMattersUK.

Today is another of our subject deep dives, and we're looking at Biology IGCSE (with a smattering of GCSE and the space between!).  Ibby and I discuss the role of practicals in science, the differences between the exam specifications available to home educators, as well as looking at top revision tips, a general understanding of how Biology as an exam works and resource ideas.

Today Claire and I deep dive into Physics provision for home educators, with a focus on secondary age learning. We discuss the different exam specs available to home educators, IGCSE vs GCSE, incorporating practicals into your home learning and how to revise for your exams most effectively.   A big thank you to Claire for guiding us through Physics and she'll be in our FB group to answer any subject specific questions you might have: https://www.facebook.com/groups/homeeducationmatters

Join Iram and I as we make our way through the English Language IGCSE exam. We discuss the differences between the three main IGCSE options (Edexcel A, Edexcel B and Cambridge English) and then zone in on the Cambridge qualification. Iram guides us through each paper, what to expect, what the examiner is looking for and her top tips to getting the highest grades for each section of each paper. It's a long one but it's a must listen for anyone whose child is sitting the Cambridge IGCSE exam.

(This is a bilingual episode, mostly spoken in the Indonesian language. Apologies to any of our international/non-Indonesian-speaking audience members who will not be able to tune in.) Disclaimers: This episode is meant to represent an honest reckoning of  personal experiences from our own respective schools and schooling systems, and not meant to be a representation for any academic institution or system whatsoever.

Are all local schools here in Indonesia religious/Islamic? How do students get treated as the religious/racial minority? What is 'Tawuran?' Do international schools conduct 'Upacara' every Monday morning? Are international curriculums such as IB, AP & IGCSE curriculums really that much better than the local curriculum? Do international school kids put down public school kids as being "inferior?" Do public school kids put down international school kids as being "spoiled, entitled fake Indonesians?" All of the skin-deep questions the people have been wanting to know the answers to, we've answered.

ABOUT OUR GUEST | In college, Nate Noorlander double-majored in philosophy and history teaching. After a stint as a project manager with a disaster repair company, he moved to Beijing, China, where he taught IGCSE and A-level history at the Cambridge International Curriculum Center of Beijing Normal University. He also spent time touring India and trekking in Nepal. Worn out by the Beijing air, Nate moved home with his family and taught English and history at Mountainville Academy, and then the American International School of Utah. At AISU he developed mini-courses in boredom and awareness (probably close to what many people call mindfulness) based on Heidegger's ideas about technology, and Nicholas Carr's ideas about what the internet does to our brains, areas of study that (perhaps ironically) he finds compelling. Done in this time by life in the beautiful Mountain West he returned to Beijing, where he taught IB History, IB English, and Theory of Knowledge at the Yew Chung International School of Beijing. When Covid-19 hit he was coaching the boys' basketball team and gearing up for an end-of-season tournament in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, ignorant of what was coming. The trip was canceled, his family just made it out of Beijing on a flight three times its usual cost, and he stuck it out in the shuttered city for another six weeks. When life didn't change, he left too. Since then it's been all history with The Nomadic Professor. LISTENER COUPON CODE ★Request your coupon code to use on any purchase at bookshark.com. QUOTABLES | Nate: Under the surface of media literacy. The five units of the course. Technology design is generating a lot of controversy. Nate: Understanding political bias and the history of media. Understanding partisanship, political bias, and the history and technology of politics in America is important for understanding bias and what motivates a person's reasoning. Nate: Tools to help us understand arguments. Language is where people do things that help us understand arguments. It's best used by people who already have a mature understanding of media and how to read an break down arguments. Nate: Students will learn how to navigate the internet and make judgments about the reliability and credibility of information. Janna: When can we expect the course to be available for purchase?  Nate: One unit is available now with more coming soon. Nate: I would always be asking the question and training my students to ask the question whether they're four years old or 24 years old.  Thanks to show sponsor BookShark.

EPISODE 140 SEASON 4 | It used to be that news only came from a few vetted sources, the news on radio or tv and the printed paper. With the advance of technology, the news is literally at our fingertips coming from the world over and from countless sources. It's also given rise to people only getting ‘certain' news based upon what they've clicked before and those ever-present algorithms. Join Janna and Nate from the Nomadic Professor, as they discuss media literacy, something becoming more crucial to us as we teach and empower our children to become aware of the world around them.

QUOTABLES Nate:  So all of our content, whether it's American history, or something else features the professor on location, all over the world. Janna: All right, so fun fact the Nomadic Professor himself is a homeschool dad, correct?  Nate: Yeah, that's part of the ideas sort of, we're in a time where technology and the structure of our educational options allow us to kind of break out of the brick-and-mortar classroom. Janna: And so we've talked just personally about how to make sure that our children who are being homeschooled are able to navigate well Nate: You also brought attention to the way media acts as a filter for what you hear and what you don't hear. So that's a unique phenomenon in and of itself, because what feels urgent, what feels critical, what feels like it's worth your attention in a given moment, what stories have gained traction, as opposed to, you know, and gain traction for reasons that are not always related to their significance or their importance Janna: The bottom line is dollars in so like you had said, Well, of course, this story that I was talking about, why is that going to get dollars maybe in their algorithms that bring sadness to our world. Nate: There are honest actors who are just trying to survive and not deceive people, but they need their businesses to stay afloat. And so they can't just operate on purely altruistic impulses.

Nate Noorlander, from the Nomadic Professor, joined me for this week's episode.  The Nomadic Professor is an online, non-partisan, high school history courses that teach students the core narrative and all of its accompanying skills: taking notes, making original judgments, reasoning with evidence, reading between the lines, following a rubric, writing a defensible argument, working with bias, and much, much more. I love talking history, especially when we can go deeper and see the connections that can be found.  Nate didn't disappoint!  He has lived a fascinating life and has been a bit nomadic himself!  Be sure to listen where he and his family got caught during COVID!  I'm surprised he got out!

Join me and Lynn as we discuss all the amazing ways you can support your home ed child in their love of history. We chat about retaining a love of the subject whilst effectively prepping for History GCSE and IGCSE. Comparing the different exam boards, discussing exam techniques and tips for revision - everything you ever wanted to know about History for Home Educators!

If you are aged 14-16 or are the supporter (parent, sibling, aunt or uncle, teacher, careers adviser) of someone who is - this episode is for you. Within the British education system (whether you live in the U.K. or elsewhere), at the age of 16, students sit GCSE (or IGCSE) exams. This is the culmination of five years of secondary education and is the first experience of national exams for most pupils. So what comes next?! Between the ages of 16 and 18 - students have a crucial runway between GCSEs and university, apprenticeships or other post-18 options and it can often feel like this choice could be 'make or break' when it comes to moving towards future prospects. It's no wonder then that students and parents alike are often thoughtful and pro-active (and sometimes confused) when it comes to figuring out the best education choices at the post-16 stage. In recent conversations - I have spoken to a few parents who feel like there isn't enough emphasis or guidance on choosing a sixth form (or indeed a college) - which has inspired today's episode "How to choose the best sixth form for you"As ever, this isn't an exhaustive list but it includes 13 important considerations for you. If this is useful for you and those in your community, do please be sure to share it.
