This episode we’re speaking with Craig Barton, and yours truly!,
If you haven’t heard of Craig Barton as yet, he’s a fellow podcaster from the UK and runs the Mr. Barton Maths Podcast. We run a monthly podcast discussion over on his channel and this month we wanted to team up for a special episode to share on both the Mr. Barton Maths podcast, and the ERRR Podcast.
I’m currently working with a number of maths departments from different schools and I recently taught a demo lesson at one of them and recorded it as a stimulus for discussion around different teaching techniques and procedures that this school might like to try.
After recording, I sent the video to Craig just for his interest, and he came back saying that he’d love to do a podcast episode centred around it, in which we both dissect the lesson and talk about what went well, what I could do better next time, but most importantly, why I did what I did.
Craig asked me a huge number of really insightful questions in this discussion, and it really got me thinking about my own teaching more deeply, as well as teaching and learning more broadly.
I was also a bit nervous about his one, as sharing a video of my teaching with an educator as experienced and insightful as Craig was a bit intimidating. But it’s ultimately been a hugely rewarding experience, and now we all get to benefit from Craig’s insight and excellent analysis of this lesson.
