I had the absolute privilege of sitting down with the brilliant Tom Sherrington to unpack some of the most important and nuanced questions in education today. Across this five-part series, we explore what great teaching actually looks like—and how we can build it, see it, and sustain it in our classrooms and schools. 💡 From defining effective learning to breaking down Tom’s powerful Mode A and Mode B teaching framework, this series is full of research-informed insight and classroom-tested wisdom. We discuss: The role of teacher talk and how to use it purposefully Why modelling, interleaving, and routines matter so much The impact of WalkThrus on CPD, instructional coaching, and building a shared professional language The most effective levers for school improvement How to foster grit, build student relationships, and avoid strategy overload And finally, the future of education—featuring Tom’s reflections on the most exciting current research and the growing role of AI in our profession Whether you’re a classroom teacher, school leader, or CPD facilitator, this is a must-listen conversation that will sharpen your thinking, spark new ideas, and reinvigorate your practice.
