Reading, Listening & Professional Development
Embedded Files
Throughout the year, we signpost reading for both trainees and General Mentors in the Weekly Training Plan. This reading typically links to the theme of the week and forms a part of the discussion at the Weekly Mentor Meeting.
This section of the Mentor Support Website provides selected further reading (and podcasts for listening) which can support mentors' professional development as both mentors, coaches and classroom teachers. We hope you find this collection of articles, reports, links and summaries of reading by Newcastle & Durham University PGCE Colleagues useful!

This collection of podcasts from the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) hears about key contemporary topics and ideas in education, with interviews and discussions with fantastic researchers, brilliant teachers and school leaders. Episode 17 regarding Metacognition links closely to our Second Module and is a recommended listen to help you support our trainees' efforts to increase pupil metacognition as part of their teaching in Term 2.
This podcast began as a platform for sharing thoughts on evidence, research, and continuing professional development (CPD). Authors of educational books are invited to share insights from their latest publications and share a plethora of teaching strategies. Listening to guests like Professor John Hattie discussing visible learning and the impact of technology, or reconnecting with Doug Lemov to explore school culture, is truly enlightening.
A regular podcast from the National Centre for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics (NCETM), exploring areas of interest and debate in the teaching of maths and maths mastery across all school and college phases.
The rich and diverse episodes cover a range of topics, including supporting ECTs, using manipulatives, and teaching maths in special schools. A great listen for any teacher wanting to develop their subject/pedagogical knowledge.
The team at Evidence-Based Education discuss key issues in the field such as how the gaps between policy, research and practice can be bridged, and share ideas about essential tools, great teaching elements, and effective teaching methods.
It's a great listen for anyone interested in evidence-based practice and how educational research applies to the classroom. Fresh perspectives on topics like behaviour management and retrieval practice are provided, with valuable evidence, evaluation, and practical insights.
Tips For Teachers aims to ‘supercharge your teaching’, one idea at a time. In each episode, guests share five tips for any aspect of life as a teacher, including planning, assessment, talking to parents, using mini whiteboards, provoking curiosity, and improving retrieval practice. Lots of golden nuggets that can go straight into your practice.
