In this week’s podcast we consider the lens through which we view ‘good practice’ and subsequently the ways we construct a good or a bad teacher. Drawing on the idea that mastering the techniques of teaching allows the teacher to firstly survive and then thrive in the classroom the blog goes on to argue that this only true if we maintain the status quo in our subject. It concludes by asking what would happen if we changed the measures of good teaching and looked at the social interactions of students rather than their ability to reproduce skills?
