Programme 306, David Didau - Learning Spy pt 1 (22-11-17)

Presented and produced by Seán Delaney.

On this week's programme I speak to David Didau, who is also known as "The Learning Spy." I wanted to find out more about his book, What if everything you knew about education was wrong? Among the topics discussed on the programme with David are the following:

• Opportunity costs in teaching


• Choices teachers make


• Criticism of the teacher education he received


• Who he trusts on questions about education


• How teachers are acquiring incorrect information about education


• The lack of evidence behind learning styles and educational outcome

On next week's programme I'll bring you the second part of my interview with David.
