20 great podcasts for busy teachers
/
A few years back I worked at a school that was about an hour from where I lived. Initially the drive used to drive me insane, but then someone put me onto some really great teaching podcasts.
I found these in many ways superseded what I learnt about teaching at university becasue they were fresh, small managable chunks of information that came from real teachers in the classroom who were speaking about real life issues.
The other great thing about it was that I could focus on things that really interested me and just pass on those things that didn't.
Below I have put totgether a list of 20 great podcasts from all areas of teaching that are really worth a look.
