#071 David Didau: Making kids cleverer

David Didau is a former English teacher turned educational
consultant, blogger and author. He has written two of my
favourite educational books of all time: What If Everything You
Knew About Education Was Wrong? and What Every Teacher Needs to
Know About Psychology, which he co-wrote with former podcast
guest Nick Rose. David now has a new book out - Making Kids
Cleverer: A manifesto for closing the advantage gap - and it is a
little on the controversial side! In this thought-provoking
conversation we cover everything from intelligence, IQ,
heritability, cognitive load theory, desirable difficulties, and
parenting!
