Teacher Takeaway

In this episode, we’re joined by Dr Lyn Sharratt to reflect on her recent work and the thinking behind her forthcoming eighth book, Precision-in-Practice: The Voices of Evidence-Proven System and School Improvement. Lyn shares the style and intent of the book, key case studies, insights from the foreword and afterword, and offers practical advice for teachers and leaders on sustaining improvement without fatigue, staying the course, and focusing on the work that truly makes a difference, as well as what’s next and how to stay connected with her work.

In this episode on behaviour support, Claire English shares her journey in education and unpacks common misconceptions about behaviour and classroom management, exploring why so many teachers feel underprepared in this space. Together, we discuss practical strategies for addressing low-level behaviours, setting up for a strong start to the year, and where teachers can go next to deepen their understanding and confidence.

Alice Vigors, James Gray, Aaron Johnston and Bec West, the OG team, are back together for a reflective start to the year. They look back on 2025, share their start, repeat and delete for 2026, and offer practical recommendations for setting yourself up for a successful school year. The team also gives a sneak preview of some of the guests they’re excited to welcome in season six.
