On this episode of the Mr Barton Maths Podcast I spoke to Mark McCourt.

Mark has done it all, being a former classroom teacher, AST, Head of Department, Senior Leader, Headteacher, Ofsted Inspector, Director of the NCETM, Founder of the Teacher Development Trust, creator of emaths, and now CEO of La Salle Education, which amongst other things give us the wonderful MathsConfs

Now, regular listeners of the show will be aware that this is Mark's second appearance on the podcast. During the first - back in 2016 - he made quite a few outlandish claims, my personal favourite of which was that he had never marked a book in his life. And having listened back to this conversation, I am pleased to report that he was just getting warmed up.

So, in a wide ranging challenging and fascinating conversation, Mark and I discussed the following things, and plenty more besides:

Mark gives us an overview of this history of Mastery, and chastises me for claiming it is being talked about more in the last few years than at any other point in my career. And, dear listeners, you will be pleased to know this is not the only time Mark chastises me in this conversation.

Mark introduces the concept of a Learning Episode, and the 4 phases that comprise it

We discuss Example-Problem Pairs, Low-Stakes Quizzes and Variation Theory

What is bridging, and why am I not convinced by it?

Then we play a game of "tell us your thoughts on", and Mark is in sparkling form as we discuss everything from Starters, to mock exams, to schemes of work.

Mark is one of my favourite educationalists. I always learn something, whether I am listening to him run a workshop, enjoying a beer with him, or reading his tweets. I find hm challenging... mostly in a good way. I loved this conversation, and I hope you will enjoy it too.

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Mr Barton Maths podcast, with me Craig Barton.

This is another episode in my Teaching from Home podcast series - a series dedicated to supporting teachers who are working from home amidst the Covid-19 outbreak of 2020.

My aim is that you will hear from a wide variety of teachers, sharing a wide variety of experiences. There will be technology focussed episodes - just how does remote teaching work? But also episodes focussed on the practicalities of coping with setting students appropriate work whilst also having to look after your own children at home. Then there are issues of safeguarding, differentiation, mindset and more that I hope will come up as we progress. There will be maths teachers, teachers of other subjects, and primary school teachers. There will be teachers from the UK and overseas. Hopefully something for everyone. I have no idea how long this series will go on for - but so long as people keep listening and hopefully finding it useful, I shall continue!

This time I spoke to Matt Hood. Matt is the Principal of Oak National Academy - an online school set up over the Easter holidays sharing videos and resources for students from Reception to 10. Seven schools days after its launch, over 1 million pupils have watched over 2 million lessons. I asked Matt about how this project came about, and how teachers are using the resources. But we also discussed something that hasn't come up yet in this series - teacher CPD during school closures. Matt talks about researchED home, as well as the idea of teachers using the Oak National Academy videos essentially as lesson observations to consider and critique. We even end with Matt's life hack about how to be productive during lockdown.

On Twitter, Matt is @matthewhood

Oak National Academy's website is: thenational.academy/online-classroom

ResearchED home is: researched.org.uk/researched-home-2020
