Thinking Deeply about Primary Education

Iterative Lesson Design: A Practical Cycle for Teacher Growth with Stuart Welsh

Good Morning!

This week I’m joined by Stuart Welsh to tackle a simple question with big consequences: how do you move teaching forward without adding more meetings or paperwork? We explore an iterative lesson design cycle that fits into a single morning, builds shared judgement, and helps colleagues focus on one improvement that actually sticks. If you want a practical way to turn professional development into visible classroom change, this is it.

Hope you enjoy…

Listening Certificates

If you are listening in a jurisdiction with mandatory PD hours, certificates are available for listening to TDaPE episodes. For every form completed (click here) we’ll send a certificate to acknowledge your commitment to your continued professional development.

Thank you to everyone who shared last week’s episode. Your support genuinely makes a difference and helps more teachers join the conversation. We made it to 500 subscribers by the end of October so next week will have a special, newsletter only, CPD video as a thank you.

There’s still a good bit to go to bridge the gap between listeners and readers, so if you know someone who enjoys thinking deeply about their professional development, please do pass the link their way.

That’s it for this week. I’d love to hear your thoughts or questions — drop a comment wherever you listen, or just hit reply to this email.

Until next time, thanks for listening.
