Beyond Survival: The New Teacher Podcast
A weekly podcast to inspire and motivate teachers in the exciting first few years of their careers. Every week an expert guest will answer a central question to support new teachers to be the best version of themselves in the classroom. There is also a weekly 'Teacher Talk' which gives practical strategies for an aspect of teaching in fifteen minutes. Host Jamie Thom left the classroom in August of 2022 to run a new English PGDE at Napier University in Edinburgh. He is the author of four books on education, his latest come out in February 2023 and is called 'Talking To Teenagers: A guide to skillfull classroom communication.' He is passionate about supporting new teachers.

What feedback will really help my learners?
Today's episode of 'Beyond Survival: The New Teacher podcast' is the monthly episode with Colin McGill. Colin is my colleague in the PGDE at Edinburgh Napier University, and is the programme leader. You can follow him on Twitter @colinmcgill.
Today we are answering the question: what feedback will really help my learners? In answering that question we also answer:
What is the purpose of feedback?
What are some mistakes teachers make in giving feedback?
What makes verbal feedback effective?
What makes written feedback effective?
How does whole class feedback work and what will help give it impact?
I hope you enjoy the episode! You can also watch it on the YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ov3zjup2V3s.
Colin and I are both running the Edinburgh Marathon in two weeks for a brilliant charity Health in Mind. Any sponsorship for us would be massively, massively appreciated!
