Description

In this episode, I’m talking to Eoin MacCarthaigh. This is the latest in a running series of conversations between Eoin and I, where we share 3 things each from the world of education that have been causing us some consideration.

We discuss:

1. The challenges of instructional coaching

2. The challenges of achieving improvement in education

3. Handbooks versus playbooks and what this means for professional development

4. Whether themes can be considered hinterland in English curriculum design

5. The relationship between direct instruction and English
