Term Break Listening – Podcast Recommendations For Learning and Personal Growth

2024-04-04

For educators, the term break presents a unique opportunity to rest, reflect, and recharge. Among the myriad ways to engage in personal and professional development during this time, listening to educational podcasts stands out as a particularly beneficial activity. Podcasts offer a convenient, flexible, and engaging way to gain new insights, stay informed about the latest trends in education, and hear from thought leaders in the field—all without the commitment of more formalised professional development courses.

Whether you’re on a leisurely walk, taking a long drive, or simply enjoying a quiet moment at home, podcasts can seamlessly integrate into your break activities, turning downtime into a productive learning experience. From exploring innovative teaching strategies and classroom management techniques to understanding educational psychology and leadership principles, the range of topics available caters to a wide array of interests and professional needs.

Furthermore, podcasts foster a sense of connection and community among educators. Listening to the experiences and advice of peers and experts can offer solace, inspiration, and a reminder that you’re part of a larger, supportive community dedicated to nurturing the next generation. As the term break unfolds, consider making podcasts a companion in your journey of continuous learning and personal growth.

Lately I have been catching up on the conversations that our good friend and colleague Louka Parry has been having. A couple of episodes I highly recommend are:

 

Getting Smart with Tom Vander Ark: https://www.thelearningfuture.com/the-learning-future-podcast/educationtransformed-7

 

Redefining Good-Behaviour and Engagement with Professor Stephanie Jones: https://www.thelearningfuture.com/the-learning-future-podcast/educationtransformed-17
