The Educated Guess with Warwick Sharp

This week I am in conversation with Warwick Sharp on his book 'The Educated Guess' 

Warwick Sharp has a decade of experience in education policy. Before that, Warwick taught in a secondary school and had responsibility for careers provision. He has been both a school and college governor, and has visited nurseries, schools, colleges and universities up and down the country. Warwick studied economics at Cambridge and has a masters in public policy management. He lives in London with his wife Anna (whose intuitions are always better than his!)

Warwick has always been fascinated by our intuition, and the fast and automatic judgements we all make. This book combines that with what Warwick considers to be the most important and transformational area of our lives: education. Warwick wrote this book because he sees it as an opportunity to explore and share some of the main biases in our thinking which come with being human, and how they apply to education. He hopes it is empowering and uplifting, directly useful for us all as we face big education choices, and a catalyst for further material in this important space.

Podcast pedagogy- The Curriculum – Gallimaufry to coherence

By Mary Myatt | Publisher John Catt Educational Ltd

So how do we get from whatever Gallimaufry is to coherence? Mary Myatt is very clear on this, and leaders and teachers will find lots to get them started. Myatt’s writing is concise and each section is broken down into small chunks; this easy read brings a real clarity to our thinking as she takes us through the fundamentals of the curriculum, planning, assessment and feedback, and finally leadership. The last section is split into subject areas (abridged from School's week review by Melanie Hooson)  

I will be looking into this book ahead of my natter with Mary later this month.
