At the start of the year we had Hywel Roberts as our visiting speaker on the INSET day. It was great to have him exploring the Botheredness ideas that are outlined in his book of the same name. I’d heard him speak a number of times before and also took part in his workshop at Practical Pedagogies in Toulouse, so was familiar with it, and also had the chance to show him round Ely and get him into the cathedral. His website has a lot of free content, but you can also subscribe at different levels to access other material and support. Hywel’s two key ideas are the phrase ‘Let’s say'…’ as a way into exploring a context that you might be teaching about, and a simple heuristic of ‘People - Place - Problem’
He has now added a simple lesson planning proforma to link the two together with some other considerations. Register with a free account (or paid version) to access the document.
