Original Release Date November 19, 2024: On the second part of a two-part roundtable, our panel gives its 2025 preview for the housing and mortgage landscape, the US Treasury yield curve and currency markets.----- Transcript -----Andrew Sheets: 2024 was a year of transition for economies and global markets. Central banks began easing interest rates, U.S. elections signaled significant policy change, and Generative AI made a quantum leap in adoption and development.Thank you for listening throughout 2024, as we navigated the issues and events that shaped financial markets, and society. We hope you'll join us next year as we continue to bring you the most up to date information on the financial world. This week, please enjoy some encores of episodes over the last few months and we'll be back with all new episodes in January. From all of us on Thoughts on the Market, Happy Holidays, and a very Happy New Year. Vishy Tirupattur: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I am Vishy Tirupattur, Morgan Stanley's Chief Fixed Income Strategist. This is part two of our special roundtable discussion on what's ahead for the global economy and markets in 2025.Today we will cover what is ahead for government bonds, currencies, and housing. I'm joined by Matt Hornbach, our Chief Macro Strategist; James Lord, Global Head of Currency and Emerging Market Strategy; Jay Bacow, our co-head of Securitized Product Strategy; and Jim Egan, the other co-head of Securitized Product Strategy.It's Tuesday, November 19th, at 10am in New York.Matt, I'd like to go to you first. 2024 was a fascinating year for government bond yields globally. We started with a deeply inverted US yield curve at the beginning of the year, and we are ending the year with a much steeper curve – with much of that inversion gone. We have seen both meaningful sell offs and rallies over the course of the year as markets negotiated hard landing, soft landing, and no landing scenarios.With the election behind us and a significant change of policy ahead of us, how do you see the outlook for global government bond yields in 2025?Matt Hornbach: With the US election outcome known, global rate markets can march to the beat of its consequences. Central banks around the world continue to lower policy rates in our economist baseline projection, with much lower policy rates taking hold in their hard landing scenario versus higher rates in their scenarios for re-acceleration.This skew towards more dovish outcomes alongside the baseline for lower policy rates than captured in current market prices ultimately leads to lower government bond yields and steeper yield curves across most of the G10 through next year. Summarizing the regions, we expect treasury yields to move lower over the forecast horizon, helped by 75 [basis points] worth of Fed rate cuts, more than markets currently price.We forecast 10-year Treasury yields reaching 3 and 3.75 per cent by the middle of next year and ending the year just above 3.5 per cent.Our economists are forecasting a pause in the easing cycle in the second half of the year from the Fed. That would leave the Fed funds rate still above the median longer run dot.The rationale for the pause involves Fed uncertainty over the ultimate effects of tariffs and immigration reform on growth and inflation.We also see the treasury curve bull steepening throughout the forecast horizon with most of the steepening in the first half of the year, when most of the fall in yields occur.Finally, on break even inflation rates, we see five- and 10-year break evens tightening slightly by the middle of 2025 as inflation risks cool. However, as the Trump administration starts implementing tariffs, break evens widen in our forecast with the five- and 10-year maturities reaching 2.55 per cent and 2.4 per cent respectively by the end of next year.As such, we think real yields will lead the bulk of the decline in nominal yields in our forecasting with the 10-year real yield around 1.45 per cent by the middle of next year; and ending the year at 1.15 per cent.Vishy Tirupattur: That's very helpful, Matt. James, clearly the incoming administration has policy choices, and their sequencing and severity will have major implications for the strength of the dollar that has rallied substantially in the last few months. Against this backdrop, how do you assess 2025 to be? What differences do you expect to see between DM and EM currency markets?James Lord: The incoming administration's proposed policies could have far-reaching impacts on currency markets, some of which are already being reflected in the price of the dollar today. We had argued ahead of the election that a Republican sweep was probably the most bullish dollar outcome, and we are now seeing that being reflected.We do think the dollar rally continues for a little bit longer as markets price in a higher likelihood of tariffs being implemented against trading partners and there being a risk of additional deficit expansion in 2025. However, we don't really see that dollar strength persisting for long throughout 2025.So, I think that is – compared to the current debate, compared to the current market pricing – a negative dollar catalyst that should get priced into markets.And to your question, Vishy, that there will be differences with EM and also within EM as well. Probably the most notable one is the renminbi. We have the renminbi as the weakest currency within all of our forecasts for 2025, really reflecting the impact of tariffs.We expect tariffs against China to be more consequential than against other countries, thus requiring a bigger adjustment on the FX side. We see dollar China, or dollar renminbi ending next year at 7.6. So that represents a very sharp divergence versus dollar yen and the broader DXY moves – and is a consequence of tariffs.And that does imply that the Fed's broad dollar index only has a pretty modest decline next year, despite the bigger move in the DXY. The rest of Asia will likely follow dollar China more closely than dollar yen, in our view, causing AXJ currencies to generally underperform; versus CMEA and Latin America, which on the whole do a bit better.Vishy Tirupattur: Jay, in contrast to corporate credit, mortgage spreads are at or about their long-term average levels. How do you expect 2025 to pan out for mortgages? What are the key drivers of your expectations, and which potential policy changes you are most focused on?Jay Bacow: As you point out, mortgage spreads do look wide to corporate spreads, but there are good reasons for that. We all know that the Fed is reducing their holdings of mortgages, and they're the largest holder of mortgages in the world.We don't expect Fed balance sheet reduction of mortgages to change, even if they do NQT, as is our forecast in the first quarter of 2025. When they NQT, we expect mortgage runoff to continue to go into treasuries. What we do expect to change next year is that bank demand function will shift. We are working under the assumption that the Basel III endgame either stalls under the next administration or gets released in a way that is capital neutral. And that's going to free up excess capital for banks and reduce regulatory uncertainty for them in how they deploy the cash in their portfolios.The one thing that we've been waiting for is this clarity around regulations. When that changes, we think that's going to be a positive, but it's not just banks returning to the market.We think that there's going to be tailwinds from overseas investors that are going to be hedging out their FX risks as the Fed cuts rates, and the Bank of Japan hikes, so we expect more demand from Japanese life insurance companies.A steeper yield curve is going to be good for REIT demand. And these buyers, banks, overseas REITs, they typically buy CUSIPs, and that's going to help not just from a demand side, but it's going to help funding on mortgages improve as well. And all of those things are going to take mortgage spreads tighter, and that's why we are bullish.I also want to mention agency CMBS for a moment. The technical pressure there is even better than in single family mortgages. The supply story is still constrained, but there is no Fed QT in multifamily. And then also the capital that's going to be available for banks from the deregulation will allow them – in combination with the portfolio layer hedging – to add agency CMBS in a way that they haven't really been adding in the last few years. So that could take spreads tighter as well.Now, Vishy, you also mentioned policy changes. We think discussions around GSE reform are likely to become more prevalent under the new administration.And we think that given that improved capitalization, depending on the path of their earnings and any plans to raise capital, we could see an attempt to exit conservatorship during this administration.But we will simply state our view that any plan that results in a meaningful change to the capital treatment – or credit risk – to the investors of conventional mortgages is going to be too destabilizing for the housing finance markets to implement. And so, we don't think that path could go forward.Vishy Tirupattur: Thanks, Jay. Jim, it was a challenging year for the housing market with historically high levels of unaffordability and continued headwinds of limited supply. How do you see 2025 to be for the US housing market? And going beyond housing, what is your outlook for the opportunity set in securitized credit for 2025?James Egan: For the housing market, the 2025 narrative is going to be one about absolute level versus the direction and rate of change. For instance, Vishy, you mentioned affordability. Mortgage rates have increased significantly since the beginning of September, but it's also true that they're down roughly a hundred basis points from the fourth quarter of 2023 and we're forecasting pretty healthy decreases in the 10-year Treasury throughout 2025. So, we expect affordability to improve over the coming year. Supply? It remains near historic lows, but it's been increasing year to date.So similar to the affordability narrative, it's more challenged than it's been in decades; but it's also less challenged than it was a year ago.So, what does all this mean for the housing market as we look through 2025? Despite the improvements in affordability, sales volumes have been pretty stagnant this year. Total volumes – so existing plus new volumes – are actually down about 3 per cent year to date. And look, that isn't unusual. It typically takes about a year for sales volumes to pick up when you see this kind of significant affordability improvement that we've witnessed over the past year, even with the recent backup in mortgage rates.And that means we think we're kind of entering that sweet spot for increased sales now. We've seen purchase applications turn positive year over year. We've seen pending home sales turn positive year over year. That's the first time both of those things have happened since 2021. But when we think about how much sales 2025, we think it's going to be a little bit more curtailed. There are a whole host of reasons for that – but one of them the lock in effect has been a very popular talking point in the housing market this year. If we look at just the difference between the effective mortgage rate on the outstanding universe and where you can take out a mortgage rate today, the universe is still over 200 basis points out of the money.To the upside, you're not going to get 10 per cent growth there, but you're going to get more than 5 per cent growth in new home sales. And what I really want to emphasize here is – yes, mortgage rates have increased recently. We expect them to come down in 2025; but even if they don't, we don't think there's a lot of room for downside to existing home sales from here.There's some level of housing activity that has to happen, regardless of where mortgage rates or affordability are. We think we're there. Turnover measured as the number of transactions – existing transactions – as a share of the outstanding housing market is lower now than it was during the great financial crisis. It's as low as it's been in a little bit over 40 years. We just don't think it can fall that much further from here.But as we go through 2025, we do think it dips negative. We have a negative 2 per cent HPA call next year, not significantly down. We don't think there's a lot of room to the downside given the healthy foundation, the low supply, the strong credit standards in the housing market. But there is a little bit of negativity next year before home prices reaccelerate.This leaves us generically constructive on securitized products across the board. Given how much of the capital structure has flattened this year, we think CLO AAAs actually offer the best value amongst the debt tranches there. We think non-QM triple AAAs and agency MBS is going to tighten. They look cheap to IG corporates. Consumer ABS, we also think still looks pretty cheap to IG corporates. Even in the CMBS pace, we think there's opportunities. CMBS has really outperformed this year as rates have come down. Now our bull bear spread differentials are much wider in CMBS than they are elsewhere, but in our base case, conduit BBB minuses still offer attractive value.That being said, if we're going to go down the capital structure, our favorite expression in the securitized credit space is US CLO equity.Vishy Tirupattur: Thank you, Jay and Jim, and also Matt and James.We'll close it out here. As a reminder, if you enjoyed the show, please leave us a review wherever you listen and share Thoughts on the Market with a friend or colleague today.

Andrew Alcock began his teaching career several years ago but, for various reasons did not complete his NQT year. Now he is back in the classroom, completing the ECF. Tonight, we discuss Andrew's unique perspective on teaching and professional development.

Maxine talks to inspirational headteacher Bex Owen about her journey from pupil to NQT, Deputy Head, Acting Head and finally her appointment as Substantive Head at the same school. Looking back over the past 12 months, reflecting on school culture, the highs, challenges and learning as a school leader and offering advice to new, aspiring and acting head teachers. 

Our newest episode, Episode 69: "Building Intentional Queer Spaces,” features Adam Odsess-Rubin, whose many roles include Founding Artistic Director of National Queer Theater (NQT). In their conversation, Adam offers a glimpse into NQT's programs, including DREAMing Out Loud; Write it Out!; and Staging Pride Queer Youth Theater, a program that offers free acting classes for Queer and Trans youth that culminates in devising original works. At the heart of these programs, Adam notes, is Queer activism through community-engaged arts programming. The heart of this thoughtful conversation shines when Adam states, “I'm looking for community,” he says and continues by reflecting, “I'm that queer artist that needed a home.” Their conversation continues as they discuss: creating supportive spaces for Queer youth to be creative and build community; how, within current systems, administrative practices can't always act in concert with the support systems created for meaningful community engagement; and the friction that comes with the balance of programming and finding moments for rest and grace.

Comment lutter contre l'insécurité des quartiers en offrant des opportunités aux jeunes diplômés ? Dans ce nouvel épisode de Canary Call enregistré spécialement pour le Podcasthon, le premier événement caritatif qui rassemble les podcasts francophones, Yazid Chir, Conseiller du Président du Groupe Henner et Président cofondateur bénévole de l'Association NQT – Nos Quartiers ont des Talents, nous dévoile son parcours. Dès sa jeunesse, marquée par un rêve de devenir chirurgien pour "faire du bien", Yazid a toujours été guidé par le désir d'aider autrui. Cette aspiration s'est concrétisée à travers son engagement profond envers l'égalité des chances, démontrant qu'il est possible de mener une carrière fructueuse tout en ayant un impact social significatif.Il nous explique les missions de NQT, fondée en 2006, sous l'impulsion de l'idée que l'inclusion et l'engagement sont cruciaux pour la société. Le programme de mentorat de NQT aide les jeunes diplômés défavorisés à s'insérer professionnellement grâce à des mentors issus du monde de l'entreprise, favorisant ainsi des échanges enrichissants entre divers milieux.Sous la direction de Yazid, NQT a accompagné près de 100 000 jeunes avec l'aide de 15 000 mentors provenant de plus de 1 000 entreprises. Ces résultats illustrent l'impact social de l'association, tant sur les jeunes que sur leurs mentors.Plus qu'une initiative d'insertion professionnelle, NQT incarne une mission de transformation sociétale, prouvant que le mentorat peut générer un changement profond. En démantelant les barrières sociales et en valorisant l'égalité des chances, Yazid et son équipe ouvrent la voie à un avenir plus inclusif.

In this episode I'm speaking with Sarah Donarski. Sarah is a Head Of English Department, PGCE & NQT mentor, speaker, blogger, researcher and author of The researchED Guide to Assessment. I recently relistened to an episode of Craig Barton's Tips for Teachers with Sarah and immediately jotted down a number of questions and I had about assessment in English, which she has been kind enough to come on and answer.We discuss:1. What final or summative assessments should look like in a KS3 department2. Whether teachers should ever give grades and if so, when and why?3. What should feedback look like at KS3?4. How should students follow up on feedback? 5. The 'novice / rote / inflexible / flexible' spectrum of knowledge6. And finally, Sarah's favorite things about having studied in Australia and formerly working in an IB school.Thanks again to Sarah for not only contributing to the online discussions around assessment but also evidence informed professional development more broadly.If 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:Sarah's book, edited for ResearchED

For our final English-language research bite of this block, Tom is joined by PGCE Secondary RE student (and now NQT teaching four different subjects!) Bethany Maunders. For her second assignment, Bethany looked into how to challenge her more able pupils without just piling more and more work onto them. She settled on the idea of oracy as a skill to stretch her strongest pupils, and found that concentrating on this as an intervention had benefits for all her pupils. Thanks to Bethany for joining us for this episode, and don't forget you can watch all our research bites on our YouTube channel: www.YouTube.com/@cardiffpartnership --------------------------------------------------Recorded in studio B0.17 at Cardiff Metropolitan University's Cyncoed Campus on 7th July 2023

For "Pride is the Opposite of Shame" (Season 3, Episode 7), which dropped Thursday, September 7, we called to the Bimah Founding Artistic Director of National Queer Theater Adam Odsess-Rubin. Based in New York City, Adam founded NQT in 2018 to provide a creative home for LGBTQ+ artists and showcase unheard voices within the community. We had an enlightening discussion about how the Jewish concept of Tikkun Olam, meaning "to repair the world", has shaped Adam's artistic mission and informed NQT's focus on uplifting marginalized queer stories. He shared insights into curating NQT's 5th Annual Criminal Queerness Festival this past June, which spotlighted Eastern European and Ukrainian LGBTQ+ artists. Adam also gave us a preview of exciting new NQT initiatives like Staging Pride, a free theatre education program for LGBTQ+ youth, and the Write It Out! playwriting workshop for people living with HIV/AIDS. Through these impactful programs and productions, Adam and his team at NQT are truly working to repair the world for LGBTQ+ communities. "On the Bimah: Spotlighting Jewish Theatre Artists" continues to illuminate the heart, soul, and diversity of contemporary Jewish theatre, guided by your host Danielle Levsky. This podcast is an Alliance for Jewish Theatre program, produced by Danny Debner and Danielle Levsky. Our theme music is by Ilya Levinson and Alex Koffman, and our logo is by Alize Francheska Rozsnyai.

Adam Odsess-Rubin of National Queer Theater joins Gianna Volpe on The WLIW-FM Heart of The East End for the HOTsightsandsounds segment underwritten by William Ris Gallery to talk about NQT's after-school programming providing a safe space and theatrical instruction to LGBTQ youth in New York City.

Launched nationally in 2021 after a regional pilot, the Early Career Framework represents a significant change in support and induction programme for teachers following their ITT. It forms a key part of the Government's teacher recruitment and retention strategy, aiming to ensure all teachers are provided with high quality training opportunities throughout their career. In this Podcast series, our host Georgie McIntyre, explores the ECF, the research underpinning it and considers the practical implications for early career teachers and their mentors. For years, teacher induction in England has changed very little. The acronym ‘NQT' was universally understood, and the induction period lasted for 12 months after an ITT course. All of this changed with the introduction of the ECF – ‘Newly Qualified Teachers' were replaced with ‘Early Career Teachers' and their support package changed drastically, being extended to 2 years. This podcast explores the key aspects of the ECF, where it came from and the research that underpins in. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thirstyscholars/message

A beautiful, educational & seriously emotional journey on the bus this week. Helen Simms is one of the most passionate teachers I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. She invited me in to her school to work with selected classes of children & because of her love & engagement for what she does, it was one of the best experiences in a school I've ever had. We talk a lot about what makes a good teacher (some great advice for NQT's) and how the education system needs have a facelift or morph itself to find better outcomes for students & teachers. It's a pleasure talking to someone who absolubtly belongs join the position they're in!

Teaching is in the blood for John Cosgrove, as his parents and other family members have all been part of this glorious profession. In almost 40 years of teaching, John has seen just about everything. During his career he taught across England in secondary schools (as a French and Spanish teacher), before transitioning to primary schools, where he went on to become a headteacher. He also wrote articles, news items, blogs, plays and books, both fiction and non-fiction, that have been published widely. And he even found time to stand in a general election as a prospective MP. He came very close to being elected too, losing out narrowly to athletics icon Sebastien Coe. After a lifetime in education, John knows the impact that great teachers have on the students they teach, and the importance of making a difference. In this podcast we discuss ... Why teaching is worth investing time in. You always make a difference, but it may not always be instant, in fact it may be many years later that you find out just what difference you made. How realising that a boy who rarely behaved well couldn't actually hear a word John was saying. The boy had moved school many times and he had slipped through the net. John picked up the problem, the boy had grommets fitted and he was transformed. So much so that he called out to John years later when he saw him in the town. Why teachers who resort to shouting are not helping anyone - not the child who is being shouted at, not the other children who don't like it, and not the teacher (especially when an accident occurs at the point of shouting!). There are many better ways to help children behave better, so make sure you use them.  How he was greeted on walking in to his first class. A young teenage girl at the back commented, "Ugh, look what the f**k just walked in!" It was a tough start and made John consider whether he could carry on, but it turned into such a valuable learning experience. This made John realise how important it is to be protective towards NQTs (ECTs) and how important it is to seek help from more experienced colleagues, as they helped him to manage the situation.  The value of asking colleagues to come and observe you so they can support you. One teacher told John he was doing little wrong but that he wasn't looking after the most important resource in the room ... himself. This was the most important lesson he ever learnt and it is the most important lesson for ECTs today. After the only formal observation John had in his NQT year, which lasted 5 minutes and was carried out by the headteacher right at the end of his first year, John was told he had passed. Very different to today! How dealing with the anxiety of always thinking you need to do more and that you are never good enough should be the priority for every new teacher, as you can't teach your best when you are worrying all the time. Having a laugh with your class is an essential part of every day, even if the young children don't always get your jokes! Seeing a child do something that they couldn't do without your intervention is what gives you a buzz in teaching. During John's first inspection, the lead inspector told the staff that if the school was judged as satisfactory, as many schools are, then you are doing the job you are paid for. And that is as true today, even though the pressure of accountability is much greater. You can always be better, but be satisfied when you are doing a good job. The joy of working holistically with primary school children was what tempted John to end his career in secondary schools. The chance to influence every aspect of children's learning and development is just wonderful. How John almost won a seat in parliament as an MP having stood against Sebastien Coe no less. Just a few thousand votes was all that stood between him and Westminster. One of the marks of a successful classroom are smiles and laughter. This tells you that there is joy in learning. The way young children still experience regular awe and wonder in the world around them is refreshing. These wow moments are so important for children and for the teacher. When children go home and excitedly tell their parents what they have been learning, you know you have got things right. You can connect with John on ...

Welcome to Episode 21 of #TipTopTipsEdu! In this episode, we got to chat with Olly Lewis, an award-winning senior leader from the UK working at the “British International School Abu Dhabi”. Olly is the winner of two GESS awards and contributed a case study for our “Guide to creating a digital strategy in education”. He also has a popular blog at ollylewislearning.com and regularly shares on his Twitter and via his GESS award-winning show, #LearnLiveUAE.Given his broad experience in education, we presented Olly with quite a few questions for him to consider:1. What advice would you give to someone considering a career as a teacher in education?2. What advice would you give to someone thinking of applying to work at an international school? 3. Why do you have an interest in edtech and why is it important in education? 4. What benefits do blogging, vlogging and sharing about your work bring you and your school and what advice would you give to someone considering starting similar activities? 5. Leading on technology in a large-scale organisation isn't easy and your new role as Head of Digital Transformation at the Thomas Deacon Educational Trust is a big undertaking. Can you share tips on how to approach a role such as this, which covers ten very different schools?6. If you could meet your NQT self, what three tip top tips would you share with yourself that would help you in your career over the next ten years?7. What are your top three keyboard shortcuts?8. Tell us more about #LearnLiveUAE and why do you think it's been so successful? 9. What is the most important thing to bear in mind when considering edtech and its use in the classroom, across a department or across a whole school? As you might expect, the answers are not just considered and helpful, but firmly planted in both chalkface experience and evidence-informed approaches. We are confident there are plenty of takeaways in this episode for both early career teachers and those in middle and senior leadership. We hope you think so too!

LISTEN TO TOM SHERRINGTON AS NEVER BEFORE IN A RAW, HONEST, EMOTIONAL AND PASSIONATE EPISODE IN WHICH WE EXPLORE HIS LIFE AND CAREER - WHO IS TEACHERHEAD? It is our absolute pleasure to welcome Tom Sherrington to Morethanajob podcast. It is a real honour to be talking to an education celebrity and one of the most influential educators in the UK. Tom is an experienced former Headteacher and teacher and, having worked in schools for 30 years starting training in 1986. Tom is the author and co-author of many education books that have shaped the landscape of education including the learning rainforest and the Walkthru series.

New teachers - NQT, ECT, Trainee, PGCE - What is it like to train to teach in 2021? Kaylee (a career changer NQT), Scarlett (a teaching assistant now PGCE), and Lucienne (an ECT mentor) all join Nathan to share their views and opinions on the challenges facing new teachers and how we can support them.

In this episode I talk with Andy Taylor. Andy is a teacher himself, who has worked with the DfE, Chartered College and TES to support NQTs/ECTs. His Twitter page (Mr Ts NQTs) is full of advice for teachers starting their career. Andy talks with me about when he took on the role of NQT mentor and how he came across a lot of NQTs and RQTs who had experienced a patchy induction. He also shares his thoughts on the Early Careers Framework and the role out of training for ECT mentors and induction tutors.

This podcast discusses the vital teaching and learning strategy known as dual coding. Although the term has only been used quite recently, good teachers have used the approach for decades. Even Confucius knows the value of dual coding, though he wouldn't have called it that! I'm joined by 2 secondary school students, Zachary and Isla, who talk about their primary and secondary experiences with dual coding and how it helps them to understand new or complex ideas. In this podcast we talk about ... What dual coding is. How it can be used in the classroom to develop better understanding of tricky concepts. How Jeremy learnt to use dual coding when he was an NQT playing with toy cars in a science lesson with a Year 5 class. Providing a summary of learning in a diagram makes an idea much easier to comprehend and avoids overloading working memory. If teachers only talk, especially if they talk too much, this can lead students to zone out and stop listening. The value of dual coding when looking back at work that has been done previously. How important it is to present information in different ways so that all students can access the learning. The need to plan the visual image if you are new to dual coding so you know what to draw as you are explaining key ideas. How students can use dual coding in their own recording to help them understand and recall key information. For more information on dual coding (or anything discussed in previous podcasts), you can contact Jeremy on Twitter @whatnqt or via email on jnc.edu@gmail.com.

As a new Early Career Teacher (ECT) or Newly Qualified Teacher (NQT) we are sure you will want to ensure you make a positive, impactful, and encouraging impression on your learners, colleagues, and community.

In this replay episode from Oct 2020 interview with Ian Clubley from Ian Clubley Consultancy and Coaching we learn about Ian's 14yrs of Education experience from NQT to Head Teacher. Ian is a development coach driven to improve the Resilience and Effectiveness of Education and Business Leaders.

Andy Taylor joins Sara in the studio to discuss the ECF and the Frequently Asked Questions he gets as a mentor to Early Career Colleagues.  Andy Taylor has worked as NQT mentor in schools for over 10 years and now works for the University of Worcester, as a senior lecturer, supporting with their ECT provision. He is also a visiting Fellow for the Ambition institute delivering ECF training to mentors and ECTs alike. He is also better known as Mr T from @MrTs_NQTs on Twitter.   

Tom asks "What would you say to your NQT self?". As trainees prepare to become NQT's, Tom speaks with four guests about what they would have said to their NQT selves and the advice they would have given. Tom is joined by Sarah Mullin, Mike Parr, Becky Bridges and Claire Sleath. 

Recruitment, Retention and Resilience are intertwined and have become the new Three Rs. If we accept that Recruitment is hard, then Retention becomes that much more important. If Retention is hard, then Resilience becomes the key. Put simply, we need to start more conversations in school about well-being and Resilience. Luckily, The Resilience Project can do just that and can provide you with multiple ways to start this vital dialogue. David Gumbrell is an author and speaker on resilience and well-being. He has been a teacher in Surrey for over 20 years, in five different schools across the county. He has worked his way up from NQT to Headship, holding positions of responsibility, including NQT mentoring, along the way. Throughout his career, he always endeavoured to develop a team, to nurture an individual teacher's career and to protect the well-being of children and staff. The Resilience Project is a natural progression to this and David now offers you a diverse range of opportunities to get a conversation on resilience started in your school or context.   Website https://www.theresilience-project.co.uk/ (www.theresilience-project.co.uk) Social Media Twitter @Auribins Resources Mentioned https://chimpmanagement.com/books-by-professor-steve-peters/the-chimp-paradox/ (Chimp Paradox) Show Sponsor The National Association for Primary Education speaks for young children and all who live and work with them.

Welcome to another episode of #TipTopTipsEdu. In this episode I was thrilled to welcome Bukky Yusuf to the show. For those not aware of Bukky's work you certainly will by the end of this episode. A secondary Science teacher by trade, Bukky is a blogger, coach, senior leader and has many strings to her bow as you'll discover in the episode. Keeping things eighties themed with the questions in this episode, I prompted Bukky with several pertinent questions to try and gain some insights into areas and tips that would be of benefit to many educators. Here are the questions that we covered, see if you can spot the song references!·       In a world where “it ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it”, what does that mean to you in terms of edtech and how do you apply that in practice?·       Stop, collaborate and listen – when edtech provides us with so many opportunities to stop and be mindful, collaborate with colleagues and others and provide opportunities to listen, how would you recommend going about that?·       We can sometimes see a few things blow up on social media with teachers – in a world where it's important to show “a little respect” - how can we do that better as a teacher using #EduTwitter·       Thinking about career planning and that sometimes, “The only way is up” - what advice would you give to an NQT looking to progress in their career? ·       “If you could turn back time”, what tips would you give yourself about engaging with edtech companies and using their products in school?As you might expect, these questions brought about some fantastic responses and conversations, but you'll have to watch or listen to the episode to hear the insights shared!Watch the episode back here:https://youtu.be/ZzP4F1GIKbkTo learn more about Bukky, her work and her various social accounts, please visit Bukky's blog at https://teachleadco.wordpress.com/ where you'll find everything you need.

This week we talk to Gareth Conyard, Deputy Director of the Developing Teachers and Leaders Division of the Department for Education, and Jacqueline Gilbert, Deputy Head at Park View Community School about the Early Career Framework (ECF). We hear from Jacqueline about her experiences as lead mentor for a group of Early Career Teachers (ECTs) as part of the early roll-out.  We learn more about why the ECF is being introduced and how it works in practice for schools.    We talk about:  The rationale for the introduction of the ECF and how it will work  How it is different from previous NQT induction  Why Jacqueline and her school got involved in the early roll-out of the framework  How Jacqueline found being a mentor and her thoughts about her ECTs’ experience of the programme  How Jacqueline found juggling being a mentor alongside class commitments and the positive impact working with the ECTs  had on her own practice  The fact that the ECF provides a very supportive and consistent experience which is proving helpful for new teachers whose ITT was disrupted by Covid  While the introduction might prove to be an extra challenge for already stretched schools initially it could potentially really support the catch-up effort   You can sign up for a webinar about the ECF here  You can also find further information here

In this Mind the Gap episode, Tom and Emma speak with Abby Bayford, editor and contributor to Letter to My NQT Self. Written by the Academy Transformation Trust family and friends, the book is a collection of retrospective letters by various teachers to themselves as newly qualified teachers (NQT). The collection recounts tales of successes and challenges during the first year of teaching, offering practical tips to support other educators in their early years. Tom, Emma, and Abby dive into the details and importance of the book, whose proceeds are going to the charitable efforts of Education Support. Abby describes how it started as a roundtable discussion on induction experiences and guidelines for early career teachers and eventually grew into a John Catt book raising money to provide educators with mental health and wellness services. Abby wanted the book to be “a heated blanket” of support for teachers to take in on their own time, reading the letters and absorbing useful, helpful experiences. When organizing the writers for the book, Abby made deliberate requests for concrete strategies to be woven into the letter experiences. The discussion moves along with takeaways from the letters reflecting on teacher experience from authenticity to colleague collaboration, generosity, and community spirit. Mentorship and instructional coaching are examined as a more elaborate and necessary element compared to early education models. As Tom suggests, there is no reason that Letters to My NQT Self shouldn't be available for all early educators in every school.

Samuel Elliott has been a classroom teacher since 2016. Having grown up, lived in and taught in deprived areas, Samuel possesses key insights into misbehaviour that many teachers lack. These experiences informed his approaches in his trainee and NQT years, which, combined with his research into behaviour psychology, have since given rise to a pedagogy that borrows from both traditional and progressive philosophies.

Towards a balanced and broadly-based curriculum was the theme of the National Association for Primary Education conference in March 2021. The keynote lecture was given by Dr. Tony Eaude. This is a follow up Q&A that I hosted and taken from a subsequent Facebook live event. NAPE has been a long term supporter of the Education on Fire podcast and I have been involved with the association for over 5 years, the last 18 months as vice chair. I thought this discussion was very insightful and wanted to give you the opportunity to hear it. The original full lecture can be found on the NAPE YouTube channel at https://youtu.be/YI_tiHvKxOk (https://youtu.be/YI_tiHvKxOk) Tony suggested four main arguments for a balanced and broadly-based primary curriculum: that the law states that schools must offer this (as it does) and that Ofsted expect this (at least from 7 years old); one based on how children create coherent, robust and flexible identities, enhancing their well-being and founded on a sense of agency; one based on a conception of democratic citizenship in which children are increasingly enabled to deal with complex ideas right from the start; and a social justice one that such a curriculum will open up opportunities from which many children, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds, will otherwise be excluded. Questions & comments from conference delegates Retired Headteacher Dr Eaude’s argument for a balanced and broadly based curriculum is compelling. Moving forwards, is it possible for schools to work with the current National Curriculum Framework to achieve this?  Do Academies, rather than Local Authority schools, have the most potential and freedom to develop such curriculum experiences? Where (in England) is curriculum innovation to be found at present? What is the National Association of Primary Education’s role in this argument? As a student in my final year of an undergraduate course, I am currently working on an assignment about my own educational philosophy which very much aligns with Dr. Eaude’s Schiller speech. Embarking into my NQT year in September I know the best way to change this is starting in my own classroom. However big questions arise with that: What can I do beyond that? If there is not enough support or like-minded colleagues, How can I reach out to ensure this way of teaching the curriculum is opened up on to all the children in the community? Where can I find more support?

This week we talk to Adam Arnell, Director, Oxfordshire Teaching Schools Alliance, Patrick Garton, Director Oxfordshire Teacher Training and Robbie Haddock, Associate Teacher. We discuss how their teacher training and CPD have had to adapt to provide a compelling remote offer. We consider the ways in which teachers training this year have benefited as well as some of the challenges they have faced. We look forward to the introduction of the Early Career Framework and think about how schools might want to prepare for it.   We talk about:  How Oxford Teaching Schools Alliance have developed to provide remote CPD  What it is like to be an associate teacher this year including how remote tools and practices can actually allow you to focus on and hone specific aspects of practice, in a way that can be more difficult in a traditional classroom setting  How being an associate teacher this year means there are a wealth of online CPD and networking opportunities that you can tap into How working with children in their own homes can make you more aware of the issues they are dealing with  How those going into their NQT year in September may have to complete that recruitment remotely  The importance of being in the right school for you during your time as an NQT including what questions you should ask at interview What schools need to think about with the forthcoming adoption of the Early Career Framework  How a good NQT experience will be a crucial part of retaining this year’s cohort.    The list of questions for NQT’s choosing the right school to do their induction can be found here   You can register for the National Virtual Recruitment Fair that Adam is organising on the 4th March here   Robbie’s blog is here

This episode of Not Quite Therapy is the last of Season 1! Chryssy and Brian will be back with a holiday edition of NQT where we talk about navigating schedules, gift gifting, family traditions, and more. Today, though, we’re celebrating the end of a season and surviving twelve weeks of one another’s teasing.Our drink today is . . . CHAMPAGNE. Of course it is. It’s a celebration. Chryssy brought the Veuve and Brian brought the old timey glasses.In Foreplay today, we mix things up a bit, putting our topic that would usually be the Down and Dirty in the Foreplay spot. We offer a sneak peek to next season, as we talk about summer vacation schedules, weekly traditions, and new traditions we’ve started since divorce (or old ones we’ve carried on).The Down and Dirty today involves Chryssy sharing how she’s been setting intention and making space for new relationships. We talk a little about this article (https://www.thelawofattraction.com/6-physical-steps-to-attract-love-right-now/ - it’s pretty hokey but hopefully offers up the basic intention) and Chryssy shares with us here the link to a piece she wrote a while ago called The Dream Man List (https://psiloveyou.xyz/the-dream-man-list-f210ff301c8d). She suggests you know what your needs are in a partner, and that when you set those intentions in the back of your mind, you have an easier time weeding out potential partners who don’t fit the bill.There’s also a nice talk about lingerie and dresses and bedsheets. And there’s Yoda impressions. Producer Jon’s is better than Brian’s but both provide Chryssy with some much needed laughter.Brian has two book recommendations for you today, the first is Atomic Habits by James Clear and the second is How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big by Scott Adams.As the show goes on hiatus until fall, we ask you to spend the off week’s evaluating your relationships, what you want from them, and whether you are setting aside the intention and space to allow them to grow. Chryssy and Brian have loved sharing a little bit of our lives and our thoughts with you these past twelve weeks. Please check out our sister shows “How To Do Life with Chryssy and Heather” (where you can also get your Brian fix every 10th episode) and NEW SHOW “Heather Solves Everything.” Both are available right here on this platform where you find us. Keep in touch with us on Facebook, Instagram, and at ChryssyandHeather.com. We love you and we will miss you.Until next time. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Back in Episode 11 we met Amy Perry, an NQT who graduated from the University of South Wales and now working in her first teaching role!

Amy joined Scott to catch up on the first term, what's gone well and what she found hard! Amy also shares some pieces of advice she would give to future NQTs for their first term. Amy is as fantastically articulate, honest and lovely as ever, if you're an NQT of a current student teacher this episode is a must listen! You can follow Amy on Twitter @MissPerry_NQT, and as ever you can find Scott @MrHannTeach, Sarah @SmartTeaching20 and Mrs H @MrsH_primary - but of course don't forget to follow the podcast @vision4teaching!

Jack is a geography teacher and was head of geography for four years, prior to taking up the role of assistant headteacher, with the primary responsibility of ITT and NQT to NQT+3 teacher development. Jack now leads teaching and learning across the school and the school’s aim is to become research-informed in all that they do, as teachers, in the classroom. Jack is also an ELE - Evidence Lead in Education with Durrington Research School Jack is also the organiser of ResearchED Surrey, which was only a few weeks ago and is all available online, i’d highly recommend viewing some of those videos.
