Over the last fourteen years, Mark has developed a proven track record in improving teaching and leadership in education. He has co-authored three best-selling books in this field in “Engaging Learners”, “Teaching Backwards” and “The Learning Imperative”. Through his work, he has developed a deep understanding of learning design and how to overcome the barriers to learning in organisations.
In this podcast he outlines practical strategies to develop more effective feedback, peer assessment and independent learning. He shares a range of adjustments, the ‘plus ones’ teachers can make to maximise learning for all and develop a rich learning culture.
Educational trainer and consultant Mike Gershon shares his thinking around metacognition, alongside some of the simplest, most effective ways any school can start thinking about, talking about, and implementing metacognitive strategies in the classroom.
