Hello everyone! Personally, I believe this episode to be the best episode of Teach Me, Teacher in a long time.   James Nottingham is most known for his work with The Learning Pit, but he has also written several books, and consults regularly around the world. His newest book, Teach Brilliantly, can be found here.    In this episode, we discuss the state of education around the world, the embattled nature of teaching, what matters in pedagogy, and what constitutes effective feedback for students.   Truly, I loved this talk so much. Enjoy!       This episode is sponsored by Solution Tree: As a new teacher, your first year is sure to come with unexpected challenges.
