Mind the Gap, Episode 25 — Tom Bennett is Running the Room

Описание: In this episode, Tom Sherrington and Emma Turner welcome best-selling author, award-winning blogger, and international speaker Tom Bennett to Mind the Gap’s Zoom Room. Bennett is founder of researchED and author of several books, including Running the Room: The Teacher’s Guide to Behaviour.

The episode begins with a conversation about what’s next for researchED. With in-person events returning, the organisation is seeing increased demand for its content and conferences. Bennett explains what he’s seeing, and why educators are so eager to convene and discuss education research.

Other topics of discussion include early childhood education and, in particular, what educators should know about classroom culture and behaviour in these early years; Bennett’s observations about trends in behaviour and classroom management; how the culture and positive momentum in schools can be self-sustaining; and much more.
