In this conversation, Craig Barton and Ollie discuss various
topics including recovery from illness, feedback, and teaching
methods. They explore different approaches to going through
responses from starters in the classroom, such as working through
every answer quickly, circulating and addressing specific
questions, and using mini whiteboards. They also discuss the
importance of setting the tone for the lesson during the do now
activity. Additionally, Craig introduces the concept of
atomisation in teaching and the NPPPN sequence for teaching
categorical atoms. They highlight the importance of using
examples and non-examples to help students understand and
categorize knowledge. In this part of the conversation, Craig and
Ollie discuss the importance of using effective examples and
non-examples when teaching concepts. They also explore the key
factors that contribute to the success of high-achieving schools,
such as sustained professional learning and a shared approach to
teaching. Additionally, they discuss how pedagogy may differ when
teaching senior students and the importance of providing feedback
in a supportive and constructive manner. You can access the show
