Sunday EduPulse Round Up 14/09

Welcome to the Sunday EduPulse Round Up - a brief snapshot of some of the things that have caught our eye this week out there in Education Land.

COACHING WALKTHRUS

Published this week, Matt Stone joins Tom Sherrington and Oli Caviglioli in the greatest addition to coaching literature since Josh Goodrich's Responsive Coaching.

With the classic Walkthru layout which means you can never get lost in the text, multiple voices from across the coaching multiverse gather together to give theoretical and practical coaching guidance and advice.

What's more, our very own Adam Kohlbeck and Sarah Cottinghatt contribute and get a bucket-list drawing of their brilliant faces by education's answer to Picasso, Mr. Oli Cav. You can get your copy here - and you really should!

DIDAU ON THE SPACING EFFECT

David Didau (his EduPulse episode is here) has, thankfully for us all, returned to regular blogging.

In his latest blog, he brilliantly handles the concept of creating gaps in learning so that - like athletes - students and teachers get the optimal spacing required for rest and recovery.

PODCAST RECOMMENDATION

Shane Leaning's internationally successful podcast, Education Leaders, this week released it's episode with Queen of all things Primary Education, Emma Turner. In this episode, Emma advocates for meeting children where they are instead of assuming a one-size-fits-all approach to curricula.

We've often spoken about the need for primary and secondary phases to communicate more, to spot the cavernous gaps and help our young people transition between the two. Listen to this insightful episode, and an encyclopaedic library of episodes here.
