Jess and Vinny are back to conduct the Hot Mess Teacher Express, taking you on a journey to discover why the battle over Teachers Pay Teachers rages on. Is it helpful or just a product of a system that leaves teachers desperate for additional sources of income? We'll give you our Hot Takes. Vinny fills us in on what's Hot or Not when it comes to students blaming technology for blank homework assignments, and teachers being overly honest with their students. And in the US vs. UK segment, we talk curriculum and why the UK model of teaching leads to a deeper knowledge of specific items. If you want to know what really Grinds Our Gears, then you're in luck as Jess vents about classic one-uppers, and Vinny cannot contain his rage for people who can't seem to understand how lines work. Finally, we cover one of the biggest Underdogs in Education: Paraprofessionals. From supporting students that require their care to providing emotional support for teachers, these people deserve all the respect in the world and more. All aboard the Hot Mess Teacher Express!

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. Let's build confidence for students and their supporters when it comes to making these crucial education decisions!

Headteachers at schools in Brighton have sparked anger from parents by cancelling the words 'mum' and 'dad' and replacing them with 'grown ups' - to avoid discriminating against 'non-traditional' families. .Anti-racism campaigners have criticised new Government guidance on political impartiality in the classroom as 'disturbing', while teachers' leaders have said it will stop pupils from engaging with challenging issues in the classroom. The Government released guidance on Thursday aimed at helping teachers avoid 'promoting contested theories as fact' in England.It suggests that the teaching of historical figures should focus on 'factual information' about them, and that teaching of the British empire should be presented in 'a balanced manner'.

The education secretary Gavin Williamson was unable to explain how students will be awarded exam grades this summer and threatened teachers with inspections. The confusion came as heads around the country reported primary schools being inundated with children despite the national lockdown, and urged parents to be hone stabout whether they are really key workers and need the emergency provision. Speaking in the Commons, Williamson said it was “time to trust teachers, not algorithms”, and that school-based assessments would be used to award GCSE and A-level grades to avoid a repeat of last year's exam disaster. But in the same breath, Williamson urged parents to report teachers they thought were failing to meet the government's new targets for three to five hours of remote learning each day, and said inspectors from Ofsted would be called in to investigate their complaints. Mark and Pete delve into the murky depths of the government's ineptitude. Boris Johnson 'extremely cautious' on when England's schools will reopen Read more School leaders were left frustrated by the lack of support or detail in the statement over how to prepare staff and students for assessing A-level, GCSE and BTec grades, coming after Boris Johnson admitted schools could have to continue remote teaching beyond February.

The wafflers go into a very deep discussion in regards to the UK education system in comparison to countries abroad. Is the UK Education system flawed? Are students now more informed about career choices than before?
In this episode, Jane talks to Katharine Birbalsingh, British education reformer and headmistress of the Michaela Community; a state school in North London where GCSE results are among the best in the country. But Katharine is a rarely out of the media, and not always in glowing reports of her school. Since her blog caught the attention of senior ministers and she was invited to speak at the Conservative Party Conference on educational reform, Katharine is often seen as a highly controversial figure – she talks here about her belief in discipline, having received death threats for her views, and why she fights so hard for what she does.
This episode will be particularly of interest to parents who want to help their young person thrive in their education and make the right choices for their next steps. Nonetheless, it's a great listen for students themselves too. As parents continue to be huge influencers even when young people are 17 and 18, it makes sense to ensure that both student and parent are well informed about the university application process. That's where Lucy Aditi comes in. Lucy is a tutor, coach and consultant with over 20 years’ experience supporting teenagers and their parents to get the best from the UK education system.In this episode she gives a brief, clear introduction into UCAS (the university application system for those who want to go to university in the UK); talks about why overall family understanding is important; gives 4 top tips for what students should be considering when choosing a university; talks about the worst ways to begin a personal statement and so much more. Lucy also shares a brilliant opportunity for parents who want to powerfully support their young people. She invites parents and/or guardians to a free 5 day challenge, starting 14 September 2020, which reveals how busy parents can help their children get into university by working together to make the best choices and complete a successful application.

Today I had a fun and amazing conversation with two wonderful young people - Libby Smerdon and Ben Holmes who used to be respectively Head Girl and Head Boy at Gordano School and whom I met when I organised a focus group with Year 12 and Year 13 to discuss my research. They provided me with their views on the UK Education system and what they think needs to change. We also discussed the A-level fiasco. I would highly recommend this to any parent or teacher/educator who wants a student's perspective of our current UK education system. Very grateful to them both for sharing their story and their views so openly. So much maturity and fabulous ideas.
Hey there! In this week's episode I am joined by my friend Remy, host of the Pen to Page podcast, from the UK! We start by talking about our drinks for the day, then you get to know her a bit as she talks about her daily highlights, how we met, her life philosophy and her favourite person in the world. Afterward, we talk about her life: whether she's an introvert or extrovert, what she's been up to in quarantine, who she's been with lately, and what she's learnt from COVID-19. Next, we transition to talking about school, where I ask Remy how she feels about it, if she's in any extracurriculars, what she wants to be when she grows up, any storytimes with teachers and what motivated her passion for this topic. Of course, I talked to Remy about the podcasting lifestyle: why she started, how she came up with the idea, how those in her life have reacted, the highs and lows it comes with, how she has been sharing her message and what she has learnt from it. To wrap up, I ask Remy what her favourite podcasts are and share where you can find her!

https://www.patreon.com/user?u=31723331 Welcome to The Know Show. The Know Show is a podcast that aims to make sense of the world, one guest at a time. Hosted by former private tutor Hussain, we break down mind-boggling academic research and challenge authors on their work. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our discussion today was something that has not really been addressed as much as it should have in the past. The topic of focus was the impact of accents of education. In particular, my guest Dr. Alex Baratta shed light on how accents can impact teachers training in the UK. Alex is lecturer in language, linguistics and communication at Manchester University. As we all know, different regions in the UK have different accents. But teachers are seldom allowed to embrace their local accents when teaching local students. Alex gives us some insights on this issue he's been researching for quite some time. https://www.research.manchester.ac.uk/portal/en/researchers/alexander-baratta(b7cfaec1-ff8c-488a-a4c3-67c8e9667f8e)/publications.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IG: https: https://instagram.com/theknowshowpod Facebook: https://Facebook.com/theknowshowpodcast Twitter: https://Twitter.com/theknowshowpod ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-know-show/id1491931350 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1K08ujaIZ7tl1H3URZfFRe Google: https://podcasts.google.com/feed=aHR0cDovL2ZlZWRzLnNvdW5kY2xvdWQuY29tL3VzZXJzL3NvdW5kY2xvdWQ6dXNlcnM6NzUwNTQyMTc2L3NvdW5kcy5yc3M Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=491878 Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/the-know-show-984176

On Stop Cyberbullying Day, UK Education Secretary Damian Hinds [DEYM-yuhn HAHYNDZ] appealed to celebrities to use social media responsibly. The secretary particularly asked celebrities to take fewer selfies, as these photos affect the body image of young people. He also called on celebrities to be honest about how their selfies have been edited. According to Hinds, selfies pressure the youth to have a perfect body and even make eating disorders seem natural. Hinds explained that young people tend to have a warped idea of what is normal because of the unrealistic photos they see online. Hinds added that teenagers may also develop depression or be subject to online abuse because of unrealistic standards set by celebrity selfies. Prior to Hind's speech, the Mental Health Foundation reported that 40% of teenagers are insecure about their bodies because of their friends' comments. Moreover, a separate organization found that England has the worst case of online bullying in the world. These reports are alarming because young people tend to spend so much of their time online. In the same speech, Hinds also urged social media companies and online streaming sites to responsibly monitor their content. He specifically called out sites such as Instagram and Snapchat because these give celebrities the perfect platform to post selfies. Still in line with his advocacy, Hinds also posted on his social media account a plea to celebrities to make their posts less about their image. He asked them to use their platforms to educate young followers about travel and the beauty of nature instead of just posting selfies.

Bonjour, Guten Morgen, Buenos días, Buongiorno! This is Mark from the Radio Lingua Network and I'm here to bring you some of the latest news about our language-learning materials. Today sees the launch of unit five of Coffee Break Spanish. In this unit, and indeed in this second 'level' of Coffee Break Spanish we're going to be getting into the language in a much deeper way. This will hopefully allow listeners to create the language more, to say what you want to say, rather than sticking to the phrases of previous lessons. Of course we've been teaching you all along how to change words to 'make the phrase your own', but we're going to be introducing some new concepts in this unit which will put you in control of the language you're learning. Lesson 41 introduces the concept of conjugating verbs. It all sounds a bit complicated, but we'll be taking things nice and easy as usual! You can subscribe to the programme for free at www.coffeebreakspanish.com. Since our last edition of the Radio Lingua News podcast, we've launched Coffee Break French. I was in Paris with our French team and along with my cohost Anna we released the first show from the Eiffel Tower. We also shot some video footage for subsequent lessons in Paris, and did some filming for a new project we'll be telling you about soon. We've been overwhelmed with the reaction to CBF: within a few days the podcast was the #1 UK Education podcast on iTunes - even knocking CBS off the top spot! In just over a week we've had around 50,000 downloads and the feedback is great so far. In a couple of weeks' time we'll be introducing the premium version of the programme, and you can find out more on www.coffeebreakfrench.com. I mentioned in our last news programme that we're reworking the store and the purchasing options for all our podcasts. We're still working on this and some other events over the past two weeks have delayed this a little. We're still hoping to introduce the new version of the store in a couple of weeks, so do make sure you're checking the Radio Lingua site regularly. Our problems of the last couple of weeks have included spam attacks on our CBS forum. We had been using a hosted forum since the early days of CBS, and this was possibly the reason for the problems. We decided this week to relaunch the forum as a generic Radio Lingua forum on our own servers, giving us more control over spam filtering. It also means that there's now somewhere for all our learners, so whether you're listening to CBS, CBF, MDPG, MDPI or any of our future podcasts and languages, there's somewhere for you to go and practise your language skills. Most importantly, the forum is a place where you can share your learning with other learners and help each other out. Unfortunately the new forum setup does mean that users will need to sign up again to the forum. It's a very quick process so please don't let that put you off. We look forward to seeing you over on the forum where you can practise your language skills and join the RL community. To access the forum, visit www.radiolingua.com and click on "Discussion Forum" in the menu. And finally, if anyone is in the London area at the beginning of November we're going to be at the Language Show at Olympia from Friday 2nd until Sunday 4th November. This is the UK's biggest event for language learners and teachers and you can get free tickets from the Language Show website at www.thelanguageshow.co.uk. We'll have a booth at the stand and we'll be showing off some of our new products and services. It would be great to meet some of our listeners, so come along and say "hola", "salut", "hallo" or "ciao" to us at stand 42. There will be more details about exactly what we're going to be showing off at the Language Show in our next news programme! And that's it for this edition of Radio Lingua News. Thanks for listening!
