Free CPD for Teachers

I believe podcasts can be a brilliant and accessible way to inspire, motivate and provide free CPD for teachers.

I set up the TES English Teacher Podcast, which interviewed specialists in English education in 2018. I then ran The Well Teacher podcast, which was focussed on teacher well-being.

Since 2022, I have been running ‘Beyond Survival: The New Teacher Podcast.’ This podcast involves a weekly teacher talk by me an aspect of teaching, and an interview with a specialist in education.

The five most downloaded episodes are:

  1. How can new teachers establish good behaviour at the start of the year? Interview with Tom Bennett
  2. What ‘Teach like a Champion’ techniques should teachers prioritise? Interview with Doug Lemov
  3. How can new teachers appear confident in the classroom? Interview with public speaking expert Cath Baxter.
  4. How do teachers know if they are in a toxic school and what can they do about it? Interview with Elizabeth Bowey
  5. Teacher Talk: How to be assertive in the classroom
