This week I  am in conversation with inspirational Layton Primary School Headteacher Jonathan Clucas. 


I am fortunate to work closely with Jonathan through our work with the Blackpool Research School. This podcast was prompted by Layton's inclusion in Ross Morrison McGill's 'Just Great Teaching' as a case study in responsive and dialogic teaching .


We discuss how this inclusion came about, the consistently excellent outcomes for pupils at Layton and the positive culture of professional development at Layton.


Discussion points


Responsive Teaching


Dialogic questioning


Modelling


The use of technology




We also have our regular input from our friends and colleagues at the Teacher Development Trust , which will be at the start of the podcast this week to mix things up a little!




Next week Doug Lemov on Reading Reconsidered and Teach Like a Champion
