Shane welcomes globally renowned educator Ross McGill, known worldwide as Teacher Toolkit. Ross shares his groundbreaking approach to feedback and assessment, challenging traditional marking practices and offering practical alternatives that can transform how schools approach feedback while reducing teacher workload.Ross introduces a comprehensive framework of nine different feedback approaches (feedback, feed up, feed forward × written, verbal, nonverbal) that enriches assessment practices beyond simply marking books. He shows that what matters most is whether students trust the feedback they receive and know how to act on it, not just what form the feedback takes.You can find the full video of this conversation inside the Education Leaders Community.Links MentionedTeacher Toolkit websiteThe Teacher Toolkit Guide to Feedback (Ross's latest book)Verbal Feedback Research Project (UCL research mentioned)Episode PartnersThe International Curriculum Association's Global.Learn.Connect Netherlands: Learn moreThe University of Warwick's International Programmes | Learn more at warwick.ac.ukThank you for tuning in, and as always, if you found this episode useful, please share your experience.

In this episode, Toria talks to Ross about what questioning is, why it is so important and what makes a great question in the classroom. As they discuss, questioning can be widely misunderstood and not enough teachers have been given sound training in the art of questioning. Over the course of their conversation, they also discuss cognitive science and the power of the pause! Ross has recently written his eleventh book 'The Teacher Toolkit Guide to Questioning - Turning theory into practice' for primary or secondary teachers looking to understand the importance of questioning to challenge thinking, check understanding, identify gaps in knowledge, improve recall and stimulate intellectual curiosity.

In Episode 3 of The Staffroom we were privileged to speak with Ross McGill, known online and world-wide as @TeacherToolkit. We want to thank Ross McGill for being an excellent guest and sharing his expertise with us. We're so excited to broadcast his ideas and perspectives to educators in Australia and worldwide. Being a new podcast, it's a credit to him that he didn't ask for listener figures or turn a blind-eye. He simply wanted to chat about education and his passion for having common sense approaches that reduce workload, save time and have a big impact on learning. Ross' new book, Mark. Plan. Teach is built on research and psychology and evolved through social media connections and ongoing discussions. The book has been a huge success in the UK and offers punchy practical advice for teachers who are looking to keep it simple! In the podcast, Ross speaks at length about why working smarter, not harder is important for teachers in the current climate of accountability and increasing workload. In our 40-minute chat, we covered a lot of ground. Here's a break-down complete with time-stamps: Why did Ross write Mark. Plan. Teach. and who is it aimed at? (5:30) Why does Ross emphasise quality not quantity? Why is working smarter, not harder his philosophy? (9:00) What are the demands of excessive teacher workload and what does Ross think about teacher wellbeing? (11:40) How does Ross think social media has widened teachers' perspectives and developed opportunities for professional learning? (16:45) Why is Ross a massive advocate for verbal feedback? (18:40) How does Ross believe we can make learning ‘stick' in the minds of students? (20:45) Which practical idea has made a real difference in Ross' own classroom? (22:10) From Ross' experience of lesson observations, what are the main qualities that all good teachers share? (24.20) What does Ross think it takes for good teaching to develop and thrive in a school? (27:20) Does Ross believe it is important for teachers to be familiar with educational research and cognitive psychology? (29:56) How can schools inspire a culture of good professional development? (33:01) What are Ross' views on accountability and bureaucracy in education and does he believe mindsets will ever change? (weaved in throughout our chat) I hope you enjoy this episode of The Staffroom and find Ross' words as inspirational as we did. At the end of the episode, we reflect on some takeaways which resonated with us from our conversation – like us, I'm sure you'll have lots to ponder! Please, pick up a copy of Ross' book, Mark. Plan. Teach which is available now on Amazon. It's a fabulous ‘hand-book' to share with your department and is practical enough to be used for professional development sessions. We wish Ross all the best for 2018 and the growing success of teachertoolkit.co.uk. Until next time! Jamie, Michael and Tessa.
