THIS FRIDAY: tune in for Louise Allen-Walker and Dan Williams telling us about how public service professionals use clinical supervision, and we wonder: why did we never get this as teachers?!

TOMORROW: We welcome Professor Trevor Mutton from University of Oxford to talk about teacher education, the teaching profession, and philosophies about how new teachers learn to teach. Nice Oxford comma in that last sentence, too... Tune in!

We hope all our listeners have had a restful Christmas break so far... Tune in TOMORROW for our annual festive light episode, slightly cut down to size (after last year's ran a little bit long) but hopefully just as much fun!

Absolute honour to be invited on to Emma & Tom Talk Teaching. Listen in to hear about our whole school strategies following our 'glowing' Estyn Report Willows High School. Diolch Emma and Tom #Believe #HighAspirations #TheWillowsWay

Thanks to our excellent school colleagues for coming in today to help create content to support mentors out in school. Massive thanks as ever to SportBroadcastMSc & Sport MediaBSc for the facilities and support!

Recording a couple of episodes of Emma & Tom Talk Teaching in one of SportBroadcastMSc & Sport MediaBSc’s other studios today - thanks to Pete for setting it up! Our very small band of YouTube subscribers won’t be able to see us for these episodes as there are no cameras (we’re quite happy with that…!)

We hope you enjoy today's camera-free episode in which Emma reviews a book on teaching and learning Shakespeare (something for everyone in that, we hope, even if you don't teach drama or English!) podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/tea…

Until we appear in vision again in two weeks, here's something to cheer up your Friday: our colleague Sian Wickersham giving our school-based mentors some love in our episode from two weeks ago!

THIS FRIDAY: It's time for us to head off on our Summer break, but before we do, here's Richard West from Stanwell_School with an episode all about physics. Here's Richard doing us all favour by busting the myth that physics is a boys' subject.
