Teacher, author and my arch-rival podcaster, Ollie Lovell, joins me from the land Down Under for the fifth of our monthly chats. We each share three things we have been thinking about from the world of education recently. In this episode, we discuss instructions, the Split-Attention Effect, backwards-faded worked examples, and the first lesson with a new class.
