Education Research Reading Room

Education Research Reading Room

The Education Research Reading Room (ERRR Podcast) brings together passionate teachers and educators with inspiring education researchers and thought leaders for engaging and informative discussion on key issues in the education space. Each episode we contact a prominent figure in the education landscape and ask them ‘If every teacher and educator in the world could spend an hour reading your work, what would you want them to read?’. Interested teachers and educators then read this piece in preparation for a live event with the author to discuss and explore the topic in more depth. The subsequent conversation becomes the Education Research Reading Room Podcast (ERRR Podcast).

ERRR #093. Adam Boxer on the First 10 Minutes of a Lesson

ERRR #093. Adam Boxer on the First 10 Minutes of a Lesson

Adam Boxer is a chemistry teacher in North London, he writes about science education, cognitive science, evidence-based education, and many other important topics. He’s an extremely popular on teacher social media and has had a huge impact on education both locally and internationally through his writings, books, podcast, and talks. I’ve followed Adam for a long time and have always found his writing to be extremely logical, practical, and well thought out. His book, Teaching Secondary Science, is a must-have for anyone who is keen for a great overview of a structured and systematic approach to teaching high school science, and I can highly recommend Adam’s other outputs too. This podcast was prompted when I recently explored a fantastic bit of edtech initiated by Adam, Carousel, which is an excellent knowledge management platform to help students to learn and master key knowledge that is fundamental to their success. Off the back of that, I was really keen to get Adam onto the podcast to discuss how he uses the first 10 minutes of a lesson to embed such knowledge… and I’m so glad I did! I hope you love it too See full show notes at www.ollielovell.com/adamboxer
