Good morning,

This week’s guest is Kylie Hoey, a classroom teacher and teaching and learning leader from Victoria, Australia.

We discuss high expectations, participation, explicit teaching and what it means to create genuine success for every child in the room. We get into the tiny decisions Kylie makes to bring particular children into a lesson, why consistency matters so much, how she has refined her mathematics teaching and what happened when she began modelling practice directly in other teachers’ classrooms.

Another fascinating perspective on what it means to get better at teaching.

Hope you enjoy!

This autumn, we’re taking our mathematics professional development programme to Dublin, Belfast, Cardiff and Glasgow.

Across four sessions, we’ll explore how stronger subject and pedagogical content knowledge can help teachers respond when pupils struggle, without making the mathematics easier or lowering ambition. The focus is on better instructional decisions, stronger mathematical understanding and helping more pupils succeed within everyday classroom teaching.

The first programmes begin in November.

We’d love to see you there.
