A couple of summers ago Sean O'Conner and I embarked on a summer day trip up to York for a spot of CPD (now CPL) at Huntington School. The packed agenda (see below) had a few well-known names, some, in particular, I've been following on twitter for some time and wanted to see in person.
In the welcome address at the 1-day ReseachEd conference they mentioned that some colleagues had come from as far as Thailand to attend. Sean and I looked at each other in disbelief - I had not told them where we had come from - it turns out that a Patana alumni, Roo Stenning, was there in the audience too! It was good to catch up with him during the lunch break. Anyway, the link to today's post is that Alex Quigley is now working at The Education Endowment Foundation and their first podcast (the new) has just been released. I think it is a good start to the series with the first episode on metacognition. So far, on the way home in the car, I've listened to the first 27 minutes in which Alex unpicks metacognition in a teacher-friendly way, giving useful examples and the common misconceptions around the topic. Catch the episode on the link below:

To listen to it directly you can play it below:
I cannot find it on my podcast app Stitcher, so it looks like I may have to look out for the email each time a new episode comes out - that's where the Apple iOS has an advantage over Android when it comes to availability of podcasts.
In a learning observation feedback today we discussed Socratic questioning. It reminded me of this site (the old) that I must visit and use more often. I hope you find it useful too.
