A celebratory episode in many ways (mainly because it marks the first time we have actually managed to release in line with our fortnightly schedule!), this week sees me interview Jess Lund, Head of MFL at Michaela School. We take a look at the methods of Michaela and the way that they go about ensuring the teacher is at the centre of learning in the classroom, as well as how French is taught in a knowledge-based curriculum. Jess also talks us through her worst lesson and Paul studiously avoids speaking French to avoid embarrassing himself.&nbsp; There are top tips for teaching 'the Michaela way', while Pippa and Paul also take time to consider how to best look for learning in the classroom and the role that exercise books should play in schools.&nbsp; With thanks to our sponsor @golemtheatre, and to Audionautix for music.&nbsp;

S2. Ep1 - What's the hardest part of teaching?

Those Who Can is a podcast designed to help teachers reflect on their practice. Each week Will and Paul will talk through various aspects of teaching, aiming to share our thoughts about what has shaped our experience, as well as talk through the advice we might offer to teachers at a variety of stages in their career. 
By talking through aspects of teaching that we find difficult or have wanted more advice on, we hope to encourage more teachers to reflect on how they go about their day-to-day work at the chalk face.
