When planning becomes something to be obeyed rather than interpreted, what happens to professional judgement and the human moments that bring learning to life? We're delighted to be back for series 2 with assistant headteacher Chris Dilley and Anthony Cockerill, director of the National Association for the Teaching of English, to explore whether a “teach-from-the-slides” culture is improving education or is, in fact, a worrying first step towards getting rid of the human element entirely...

In this episode, Helen Mulley is joined by Sarah Johnson, former teacher and English lead at Kapow Primary, and primary headteacher Steven Turnbull. Together, they unpack the “no politics” rule through the lens of media literacy, exploring why avoiding difficult conversations may leave pupils more vulnerable.
