ITP - 108 Jess Gosling shares her experiences as an international teacher and mother, discussing the challenges and rewards of raising a child in different cultures. She emphasizes the importance of emotional education for children, the role of women in education, and the significance of community support through social media. Jess also provides insights into job searching for international teachers and the cultural adjustments that come with living abroad. Her reflections on education systems highlight the need for a more child-centered approach in teaching. Takeaways The transition to living abroad can be challenging but rewarding for families. Emotional and social education is crucial for children's development. International schools often provide a more flexible and supportive environment for teachers and students. Community support through social media can be invaluable for new international teachers. Job searching in international education requires thorough research and networking. Women are underrepresented in leadership roles in education, and initiatives like WomenEd aim to change that. Cultural adjustments are necessary when moving to a new country, and preparation is key. Early childhood education should focus on relationships and emotional well-being. Teachers should advocate for a more child-centered approach in education systems. Networking and reaching out to current teachers can provide valuable insights into potential schools.

In the sixth episode of Season 8 of the Meet the Mancunian Podcast, host Deepa Thomas-Sutcliffe interviews Shanaz Hussain, Network Leader for WomenEd Northwest. Shanaz shares her passion for supporting women and battling inequality, tracing it back to her early community work. She discusses her involvement with WomenEd, a global network supporting women leaders in education, and her role as a headteacher in Blackburn, empowering young girls and addressing challenges such as digital poverty. Shanaz reflects on impactful moments, the importance of passion and determination, and how the WomenEd movement provides opportunities for networking and professional growth. The episode highlights the power of community, shared experiences, and the ongoing fight against stereotypes and inequality. In Shenaz's own words, “I think it was roughly about two years ago, I was asked by one of the network leaders, Nassima Riazat, a network leader for the Northwest, and now she is involved more widely in the United Kingdom with the Women Ed movement. She asked me if I would be the keynote speaker to a conference that they was hosting and that was my first interaction. I hadn't heard of the Women Ed Network prior to that, and I didn't know a great deal about it. So I had the privilege of being a keynote speaker at this event.” #women #education #GM #manchester #community #SocialImpact #NonProfit Hosted by Deepa Thomas-Sutcliffe (https://www.instagram.com/meetthemancunian/).

This episode offers advice, practical tips and inspiration for teachers who are thinking about taking on leadership roles within schools and for those already climbing the leadership ladder. Three experts discuss why teaching staff should aspire to leadership and the different pathways and roles within middle and senior leadership. What kind of skills are needed for leadership? How can teaching staff – including early career teachers – develop these skills and wider leadership experience? How can they dip their toe in the water and “have a go”? What kind of leadership opportunities can teachers look out for? We discuss different pathways, specialisms and CPD options, including via the Chartered College, WomenEd, National Professional Qualifications and other routes. What are the common barriers to leadership aspiration and how can we overcome them? And how can schools make middle and senior leadership attractive and more diverse? This is one of two episodes focused on career conversations. The second, out on March 22, will focus on wider career pathways and progression within the secondary school.

Kate McAllister is a force of nature, and a dear friend of the Rethinking Education podcast. Kate worked as a French teacher for 14 years, and has over 10 years' experience in school leadership roles. She first worked on creating a Learning to Learn curriculum in 2005, with the aim of helping pupils develop the knowledge and skills they need to navigate the often-difficult transition from primary to secondary school. She then spent the next 15 years refining and improving both the methodology and the results, culminating in the publication of Fear is the Mind Killer: Why Learning to Learn deserves lesson time - and how to make it work for your pupils in 2020 (co-authored by James Mannion, the host of the Rethinking Education podcast). In 2015, Kate took Learning to Learn to new frontiers when she set up the School Bus Project, a charity providing mobile education for refugees. Kate crowd-funded the purchase of a double decker bus, installed solar panels on the roof and spent 6 months working in refugee camps in Calais, providing much-needed education and support for people living in displacement. Following the closure of the Calais camps, Kate set up the Human Hive, a global community of organisations and individuals working together to create a more welcoming and inclusive world. In 2020, Kate sold her house and set out to travel the world with her daughter, studying alternative education models. Finding herself in the Dominican Republic when the covid pandemic hit, Kate decided to stay and open her dream school! The Hive School is now open, and going from strength to strength... This is a fascinating conversation that covers worldschooling - what Kate describes as her "Alice through the looking glass moment' - the importance of #WomenEd in helping her find her voice, and how she is 'rethinking education' by building her dream school!

Intro: death of a campervan, events, and news about ASU GSV Summit series kicking off on the 6th August Interview with one of edtech's greatest mind attics, Maren Deepwell, the CEO of the Association for Learning Technology or more commonly known as ALT.

Sample quotes: I grew up with Star Trek and the vision of technology as a very benevolent force #altc generates 1.5m twitter impressions each year, so it's worth sharing One of the favourite aspects of my job is I get to work with many awesome people We've long been campaigning for the Government to mandate that all publicly funded research is openly accessible I'm a real geek at heart and I love new technologies, but we also need to keep in mind how can we build a responsible relationship between technology and its users? I don't think we are isolated from the hard times the sector is experiencing, but we are very small and lean On policy makers: It would be great to have more official endorsement and support of using learning technologies Is a blog post, if it's on a well visited blog, is it as valid evidence for a research article?

A lot of that capital exists in fairly old school publishers which are very much incentivised to continue in the existing system. I believe in the power of students as teachers. We're really thinking about getting students from cradle to college There were definitely moments where school wasn't that great for me. As an alternative to student debt, we could invest in the future of students through an equity vehicle.

Gaining insight into this fast paced world is worth spending time on (especially for those implicated by such changes). That's where Class Central comes in. Class Central launched at the end of 2011, and has kept track of the MOOC space right from the beginning. Not only does it list 7000+ courses, making it the #1 search engine for online courses, but the excellent MOOC report blog has deep analysis on what's up, down, new or just slightly leftfield. With over 500+ articles written, Class Central has the most comprehensive coverage of the MOOC Industry. I came across Class Central when I was preparing for a Department for International Trade webinar I was speaking on and found it invaluable. Since then, I met founder Dhawal Shah out at SXSWedu and he was excited to share the resource with all of you. So definitely go and check it out at www.class-central.com/report/ and let me know what you think! This is an easy one for me as I regularly use Glisser at events because I frankly find it a bit WEIRD when there are people staring at you but you ignore them! Glisser is an audience engagement platform, and they also have an education offer for socialising lectures where they take regular PowerPoint or Keynote presentations and push each slide out live to student's mobile devices as they are presented. Professors, administrators and students get valuable data on where information is really engaging, or needs reworking and staff and students can interact through the deck.

Nice one. Sample quotations: I've worked always at the intersection of entertainment and art I was never a good enough coder to call myself a coder. I was never a good enough designer to call myself a designer, but I was good enough at both to recognise who was really great. The very first thing that I wrote before I wrote the company name is designing for quiet. How do we encapsulate the best parts of an analogue childhood in a digital realm? What do you think about Betsy Devos? I think she's a disaster! I think assessment is driving education in the wrong direction. We wanted to contextualise learning about the body by literally going beyond the skin. All off us are geek dads, I guess Who doesn't like flying drones right?

On creativity and learning VOTE for The Edtech Podcast in the British Podcasting Awards! What's in this episode? Introduction, Emerge Education Cohort 8 open, Edtech Podcast 1st Birthday Party (come!), Naace and more 1:1 interview with award winning musician and innovator Imogen Heap Developing the technology of the MiMu gesture glove over the last seven years Stepping outside of expected musical forms, influenced by the open movements of makers and hackers Sneaking around MIT Lab, NASA & why Imogen is excited about VR and the potential to stay connected Sample quotations: I suppose twenty years ago I signed my first record deal and back in those days you make music and that was it. Don't even think about the video or doing the art work. It took me a long time to shake those ideas and step out and collaborate with people. And then i discovered all these hackers and makers involved in that stuff Over the last seven years I've been developing a set of technology called the mi mu gloves to help me augment those acoustic sounds, to bring them to live physically. It gets me very very excited about the next generation. They are not going to be stuck behind a laptop. Imogen if you and your team want to come around the Goddard space centre give us a shout. She invited me to the MIT media lab I saw many bits of tech but this is the one that really resonated with me ON VR: This is the reality of how kids will be learning in the future Messages from The Edtech Podcast: VOTE for The Edtech Podcast in the British Podcasting Awards!

With thanks to this week's sponsors Wambiz (check them out below) VOTE for The Edtech Podcast in the British Podcasting Awards! What's in this episode? Introduction, British Podcasting Awards and Wambiz 1:1 interview with Eric Sheninger, Senior Fellow and Thought Leader on Digital Leadership with the International Center for Leadership in Education (ICLE). Exploration of turnaround story & Eric's time as award-winning Principal at New Milford High School in the US Recommended reads on leadership and change management Frameworks for building a team and gaining investment for projects Thank you to this week's Sponsor A message from our friends at Wambiz: When it comes to communicating with their students and getting them to collaborate outside of the classroom, teachers are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Today's tech savvy students simply do not engage with email, the traditional means of teacher-student communication, whilst social media, Facebook, WhatsApp and the like are also not the appropriate medium as they blur the lines between personal life and professional life, providing no visibility to the institution of any potential inappropriate behaviour. At WAMBIZ we solve this problem by allowing institutions from all sectors to have their very own branded private social network, letting your teachers and students communicate and collaborate in a safe and secure environment, which you control. With a familiar look and feel to other social media platforms, guaranteeing adoption and engagement, but with the safeguards needed for educational practice, the app facilitates key benefits including learning outcomes, teaching and assessment, student support, social inclusion, social media awareness and much more… To book a free demo or find out more please visit wambiz.com or contact us at info@wambiz.com and implement your own institutional app today! And if you are a school listening please contact us to find out about our ‘Safebook 4 Schools' project backed by the West Midlands Police!” Sample quotations: 'I was the principal who didn't believe in any of this. I wrote the policies that blocked social media.' 'Social media, especially twitter, opened my eyes to a world I never new existed.' Kids saw more value in their learning; we didn't see technology as an add on anymore It was hard working with the staff who'd been there for thirty or forty years.' In education we focus on the yeah but's when we need to focus on the what if's Leadership is about action, not about title, position or power Messages from The Edtech Podcast: VOTE for The Edtech Podcast in the British Podcasting Awards!

We came to england to learn your experiences Many edtech venture companies have recently started in Japan. The after school market is so big. The b2c market rather than b2school. Another problem is the Japanese teachers are so busy. Too busy! If some technology can reduce their burden…that's very great. Rob Bennett, Bloodhound What are we watching?

This week we have we're in conversation with everyone from Pearson, The Bookseller, Edtech Exchange, Oxford University Press, Assembly, the Audio Book Publishers Association, Kortext, recorded at ‘Edtech for publishers' at FutureBook '16, asking questions such as: What can edtech and publishers offer one another? Can two distinct business cultures meet in the middle or not? Is there a short term cost financially to publishers who are embracing edtech? Outside of content, what are the infrastructure considerations on edtech for publishers across data, and good connectivity What challenges do the financial squeezes in education and some difficult edtech business models present? A big thank you to The Bookseller, Future Book and Edtech Exchange who worked on The Edtech for Publishers event together, and if you like this episode you might be tempted to also check out episode 37 on textbooks vs. technology. Sample Quotes 1) Andrew Keen author 'Wake up and understand that finally, you can learn what your consumer wants' 'Digital and Paper: You cannot do one without the other' 2) Philip Jones editor at the Bookseller 'Lots of startups coming in, lots of opportunities, lots of disturbance in the force. Education publishers are worried that there will be some change down the line that they don't see early enough.' 3) George Burgess, founder of Gojimo and the EdTech Exchange 'Big publishers seek in edtech innovation, outsourcing of risks, and opportunity to learn from it' 4) Tom Hall. (Former) VP Tech and Digital at Pearson 'It's still a messy industry: pricing, market revenues and getting your content ready are the main issues' Don't forget to subscribe to The Edtech Podcast on iTunes or Stitcher.

Announcing an official media partnership with the SXSWedu® Conference & Festival In conversation with Richard Taylor, UK-based angel-investor in c.12 edtech start ups Recorded at Bett, you'll hear what Taylor believes are: The 3 lessons for edtech success What he thinks of accelerators, distributors and teacher pension schemes And why he thinks part of our latest obsession with coding is a red herring. Sample Quotes (@dick_taylor) Investing in early stage start ups is like a horse race. Only the horse race takes seven years and half of them you need to take out and shoot. Sometimes you make money but actually the better lesson is when you lose money. When I first started in education i didn't really care what it was or if it had any impact. If it made money that was all I really cared about. The ones that are more likely to be successful are the ones that have a teacher in the founding team 'When schools buy or use edtech there is a big cost, but also a big opportunity cost.' 'Schools buy million pounds worth of stuff pretty much how the local football club buy sausage rolls for their fundraising night' Don't forget to subscribe to The Edtech Podcast on iTunes or Stitcher.
