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 final episode of our organisational change series, Shane explores the often overlooked aspect of change management - sustainability. Drawing from the Work Collaborative model for organisational change and his upcoming book "Change Starts Here," he explains why creating sustainable change is about more than just maintaining a specific initiative - it's about building a culture where change becomes part of your school's DNA.Key Points:Change is continuous, not finite: The end of one change initiative should prepare your organisation for future transformationBuilding change muscles: Each change strengthens your capacity for future changeHonest reflection matters: Use the completion of change initiatives to reflect on what worked, what didn't, and what you'll do differently next timeThe human element is critical: People's connection to the change process determines its longevityNavigating the hurricane: How to stay on course with your change initiatives despite inevitable distractionsFailure as part of the process: Normalising failure and creating a culture of experimentation supports sustainable changeEmbedding change in routines: Creating habits, review cycles, and support structures that make change "virtually invisible"Links Mentioned:Change Series Podcast - Filter by "Work Collaborative episodes" to follow the full change seriesEpisode with Sharath Jeevan on inflection moments - Discussing "asteroids and starships" in organisational changeEpisode 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.

Ryan Parke (The Men's Coach) shares his personal experience with the suicide of a friend and explores the complexities of male mental health. He discusses the common belief that men don't talk about their feelings, which he challenges.

Chris Scorer and Shane Leaning explore how schools can create a data landscape that aligns with their diverse objectives, especially in international schools. We discuss the reluctance of data leads to embrace full transparency due to regulatory concerns, the educational journey parents and teachers must undertake to understand data, and practical strategies for integrating data into daily teaching.One striking point of our conversation was the tension between teacher intuition and data-driven decision-making.

With co-host Caitlin DeClercq, Senior Assistant Director of Graduate Student Programs and Services at the Columbia CTL, we are joined by Columbia doctoral students Anirbaan Banerjee, Sara Jane Samuel, and Anwesha Sengupta. They share their experiences, thoughts, and advice on all things teaching development in doctoral education.

Welcome back to Dead Ideas in Teaching and Learning! In our first episode of Season 8, we speak with Drs. Benjamin Rifkin, Rebecca Natow, Nicholas Salter, and Shayla Shorter about their article in The Chronicle of Higher Education titled “Why Doctoral Programs Should Require Courses on Pedagogy” (March 16, 2023). Drs. Rifkin, Natow, Salter, and Shorter make the case for paying far more attention to developing teaching skills in doctoral programs. They share research they conducted to examine the “disconnect between what we are trained to do in graduate school and what we are expected to do in the college classroom,” and offer four next steps to better prepare Ph.D.s to teach. Benjamin Rifkin is Professor of Russian and Interim Provost at Fairleigh Dickinson University, Rebecca Natow is Assistant Professor of Educational Leadership and Policy, and Director of the Higher Education Leadership and Policy Studies program at Hofstra University, Nicholas Salter is Associate Professor of Industrial-Organizational Psychology at Hofstra University, and Shayla Shorter is a Clinical Collaborative Librarian and Assistant Curator for the Medical Library at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. Resource“Why Doctoral Programs Should Require Courses on Pedagogy” (March 16, 2023, Chronicle of Higher Education) by Benjamin Rifkin, Rebecca Natow, Nicholas Salter, and Shayla Shorter

In this Episode: Learning, then Teaching WordPress DevelopmentCarrie's path to WordPress was an interesting one. She started in web development doing ASP.net, before quitting that and going to work at a Starbucks. She went there because she had aspirations of opening her own coffee shop, and thought on the job learning was the best way to do it. While she was there, her managed introduced her to WordPress. She started freelancing, and was easily able to replace her Starbucks income with freelance income. From there, she dove into Lynda.com (now LinkedIn Learning) courses to learn WordPress, and eventually started teaching there herself. Her approach to teaching develop is fantastic – definitely worth having a listen just for that! Key TakeawaysOne of the most rewarding things about being a freelancer is helping different companies work through a solution. By mixing up your client base and not just taking the easy jobs, you get to solve different problems. When it comes to teaching WordPress (or anything), start with an assumption about the learner. What do they know? What do they need to know? What's the primary outcome for the course? Learn something like you're going to teach it. Don't just know how to do it – understand the “why” behind the “how.” Even if you don't make courses or do talks, this skill will help you with coworkers and clients. There's a lot of knowledge to share! Don't keep things to yourself for “job security.” Use the tools that work best for you. For Carrie, VS Code, GitHub, and WP-CLI are invaluable. Don't just use tools because they're shiny and new. Determine if you need them and what you need them for.  The Official Plesk Podcast: Next Level Ops FeaturingJoe CasabonaJoe is a college-accredited course developer and podcast coach.

On today’s episode, we have our 7th and final episode in our special series Ashoka U on Teaching Change with our conversation with Rachel Maxwell, Head of Learning and Teaching Development at the University of Northampton. Rachel shares her work in developing changemaker learning outcomes to be adopted institution-wide, her own philosophy around change-making, and the impact the upcoming Ashoka U publication will have on the field of changemaker education.BiographyDr. Rachel Maxwell is Head of Learning and Teaching Development in the Institute of Learning and Teaching in Higher Education (ILT) at the University of Northampton in the UK. She is currently leading a number of projects supporting the student experience, including improving the first-year experience and the development of a framework of graduate attributes embedding employability and Changemaker skills across our curricula. Since starting work at the University of Northampton in 2012, Rachel has displayed a strong interest in Changemaking, primarily through her work to embed the skills and attributes associated with Changemaker into our curricula. In this way, her desire is to ensure that all students at Northampton receive a meaningful, on-programme entitlement to engage with Changemaking, thus supporting the institutional strategy: Transforming Lives + Inspiring Change.

In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Cahlan Sharp about the DevMountain schools that teach software development skills in intensive “bootcamp” programs. Why listen to this podcast: • A lot of formal education is very theory based rather than teaching hands-on development skills • A Stack-Overflow survey in which 60% of respondents describe themselves as self-taught developers • A high-pressure, high performance environment where students learn by doing results in faster learning and better retention • All of this information and teaching is available online, however when trying to teach yourself online you don’t know what you don’t know so it will probably take longer to find what you actually need to learn • Employers are struggling to find the talent they need to continue to grow their businesses • The higher education system is ill-equipped to supply the people needed for the jobs that are available • Challenging the “it takes four years to learn something” mentality – people can and do learn things quickly and deeply when given the opportunity to do so More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ http://bit.ly/2E5Gaw2 You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Check the landing page on InfoQ: http://bit.ly/2E5Gaw2

Elena’s general research interest lies in teaching and learning as the main umbrella for her scholarship. From this she has developed more specific interests in enterprise education, project based learning, internationalisation and various others. This has resulted in numerous conference papers and guest speaker presentations in both the UK and internationally. Elena joined the Department in 2001 having previously worked in industry for seven years in project management, product development, quality control and business planning. Elena, in addition to being a mechanical engineer, has MBAs in Industrial Relations and Industrial Management, and a Postgraduate Diploma in Education. In the last eleven years Elena has developed three degrees which aim at embedding enterprise and management in engineering. She is also the founder of the Ibberson Centre for Enterprise, better known as the E-lab, which has become the first enterprise satellite for the White Rose Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning in Enterprise (WRCETLE), now known as University of Sheffield Enterprise (USE). Until 2008, Elena was also Director of Learning and Teaching Development for one of the four Institutional Learning Priorities of the University: Inclusive Learning and Teaching. In 2011, Elena became the University of Sheffield’s Director of Enterprise Education and also the Faculty of Engineering’s Director of Women in Engineering.
