Ep: 39: Saving Australian Schools
As Australia’s education ranking tanks, a change in the school funding system is well overdue. If Australia is ever going to be the smart country, equal per-child funding, together with greater parental choice must be top of mind. A fair and equal funding model, in addition to UK style ‘Free Schools’, would give parents, teachers and students a place where learning matches family values. They would be a tonic for Australia’s disillusioned teachers and angry parents doing battle against the forces of woke mediocrity.

Ep 38: The Neuroscience of Learning Part 2
Teacher training spends a great deal of time on diversity, inclusion and equity, yet omits probably the most important component of education: The neuroscience of learning. This episode takes you through the basic science of learning and retention. It looks at a school exercise program called ‘SPARK’ started in 2008 by Dr John Ratey that continues to change the way many schools in the USA operate. We then talk to Ben Couchman, a fitness and exercise expert as to how to motivate and keep young people active to improve their school results, lift their mood and keep anxiety away.(00:00) Introduction by host - Phil Dye(06:12) Part of TED talk by Dr John Ratey from The Spark Project: YouTube link HERE.(14:53) Interview with Ben Couchman, exercise and fitness coach from COUCHY'S TOTAL FITNESS: Email ben_bec02@aapt.net.au(31:25) Declaration of Biological Truth Australia promotion. https://declarationofbiologicaltruth.au/(32:16) Rest of Interview with Ben Couchman(35:28) Wind up by Phil Dye𝗧𝘄𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿https://twitter.com/markingtheroleEmail:markingtherole@substack.com OR markingtherole@gmail.comEmail host: phil@phildye.com.

Australia's National Curriculum

Australia's National Curriculum
Australia’s National Curriculum, designed by the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA), has been described as “shockingly poor” by one media outlet and “a problem” by education consultants. Yet is it as bad as it seems? We ask three experts on curriculum matters if there’s any hope at all for the document that is supposed to guide teachers and set standards for the next generation of Australians.(00:00) Introduction from host.(05:28) Interview with Marty Ross, Founder of Bad Mathematics.

Ep. 36: The Neuroscience of Learning (part 1)
The neuroscience of learning has been ignored by teacher training courses in Australia yet is a lynchpin of effective education. One component is Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) that while basic in definition, is harder for teachers to use in practice. We talk with CLT practitioner Sam Sterrett from Scotch College in Western Australia about what CLT means for the teaching profession.(00:00) Introduction from host and feedback from Episode 35.(5:00) Interview with Sam Sterrett, Head of Enrichment at the Scotch College, Swanbourne, W.A.(28:48) Conclusion of interview with Sam Sterrett.(28:50) Wind up by hostSam Sterrett Podcast ‘The Range Project’ on Spotify Subscribe to Marking the Role for free, go to markingtherole@substack.comEnd of 2023 Australian Teachers’ Survey (3-mins)Go to https://questionpro.com/t/AViP4Zz1Gy𝗧𝘄𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿https://twitter.com/markingtheroleEmail:markingtherole@substack.com OR markingtherole@gmail.comTo Donate: Go to https://donorbox.org/marking-the-role-donationsEmail host: phil@phildye.com.au This is a public episode.

Ep 35: Teaching Generation Alpha
Generation Alpha are those born between 2010 and 2024. Most students in Australia under year 10 are Generation Alpha. They’ve lived through covid, become addicted to devices and seen two big international conflicts. Yet what defines them and how easy are they to teach?

Ep 34: Teacher Union Overreach?
Old style teacher unions are losing members in Australia. While they might represent their members on salary and rights, unions are now telling their members how to vote and what to think on social issues - an overreach not taken well by many teachers. We talk to Edward Schuller from the Teachers Professional Association of Australia about the state of play. (00:00) Introduction from host.(00:45) Short excerpt of ‘Power in a Union’ by Billy Bragg.

Gender ideology has infiltrated Australia’s school system and is now part of accredited programs taught by classroom teachers or 3rd party providers.

Ep 31: Teachers, gender and the law
The gradual creep of gender ideology into schools is seeing more and more students consider themselves ‘transgender’. While most teachers will hopefully never confront this, others are scared of losing their job if they utter the wrong pronouns or air their personal views. A teacher in New Zealand has already been sacked for refusing to use preferred pronouns. Australian teachers should be very wary, and very informed.

Ep 30: Direct instruction: It's back to the future for Australian education
Most older teachers learned explicit and direct instruction (EDI) during teacher training in the 70’s and 80’s. However, many younger teachers have never heard of it.
