EP#24 Creating a Love of Learning and Friction Within Education. With guests Amy Brann and Jamie Slater.

Learning From The Edges

This week we take you back to the classroom as we discuss and explore the frictions within the UK education sector.
In this wide-ranging conversation with a teacher, Jamie Slater, and a home-schooling parent, Amy Brann, we explore the real races in education.
Jamie is a fantastic educator (but I am biased, as Jamie is also my husband), who shares his insights from working in education with strict government guidance. He also uses his love of his area of expertise to teach classes more effectively, preparing young people with life skills for work.
Amy has explored the world of home schooling and shares the way her approach to feeding curiosity has helped to grow a love of learning in her daughter that we can all aspire to.
Our guests help us to consider many questions which link education and workplaces. Why do we seek to teach how to absorb and recall knowledge, especially now with the advances of AI?
Should we nurture an explorative curiosity where students are encouraged to follow lines of interest in what they are learning about?
Stifled by the system, is it workplace expectations which are holding the education sector back?
For all these and more, listen in and then take the conversation further by following our guests via the links below.
