We're back! And to celebrate the start of season 3 we're back together in person, recording safely outdoors (complete with strange background noises) to bring you a bumper first episode to help you get thinking about your philosophy. As teacher educators, we sit in a sometimes uncomfortable place outside the schools where our students undertake their placements, and it's important for all of us to understand what we're for, what we do and why we don't just point student teachers at a school and let them get on with it. The Universities' Council for the Education of Teachers recently published a position paper setting out the principles on which we work, so we start by chewing that over with our good friends Dr Judith Kneen and Jordan Allers. After that, we respond to a comment by our student teachers themselves that they'd like to know more about our own philosophies as teachers - we've got a collection of short pieces from colleagues around campus, and we explain our own philosophies as teachers. Hopefully this will give you a nice bit of food for thought for the new school year. As we all get to grips with going back to school, having had a lot of assumptions and norms challenged over the past six months, this is a great moment to pause and ask yourself: what's my philosophy? You can find the UCET paper here: https://www.ucet.ac.uk/11675/intellectual-base-of-teacher-education-report-updated-february-2020 Thanks to our colleagues who contributed to today's episode: Jordan Allers, Fiona Heath-Diffey, Dr Judith Kneen and Julia Longville.   ---------- Recorded at Cardiff Metropolitan University's Cyncoed campus on 11th August 2020  

In another of our Lost Episodes, Jared and Dani meet with Chris Larsen, Director of Educational Technology for Granite School District and UCET President Elect, to discuss the impact that UCET has on classrooms throughout Utah.  We talk about the different activities that UCET provides educators, the need for professional learning in education, and the future of UCET moving forward.

As part of our UCET Live series, Jared, Dani, and Fernando participated in the Utah Podcasters Unite panel discussion.  They were joined by the hosts of three Utah education podcasts to chat about all things audio and education. Jake from the Teaching Literacy Podcast, Quin from Edtrex Rewind, and Tracy from Little Things First are all Utah educators who started podcasts to influence classroom learning.  Lively discussion topics include:Why they began podcastingWhy education podcasts should be an essential part of every educator's PLNHow podcasting can innovate educational practicesWhat these hosts have learned through podcastingTips for starting your own education podcastAudience Q&A

This week we attended the annual UCET conference. This conference allows educators from across Utah to learn and share their examples of technology integration in the classroom. Jared was the "man on the street" as he was able to talk with conference goers, both new and experienced, to find out what they learned at this year's UCET.

For this episode Quin and Matt were invited to keynote at Edcamp Utah earlier this month. Along with several guests from all across Utah, including some returning guests, we discussed data privacy and training in Utah.

Sometimes you feel all alone on your teaching adventure. Guess what? You're not! In this episode we connect with community building expert Jared Covili.
