March Update: All Chalk

March Update: All Chalk

A cheap microphone. A bad pun. And some amazing guests

Guess what? We have a podcast!

It's called 'All Chalk'

Featuring brilliant teachers who empower students to speak up & make change

With a bunch of tips and ideas for your school

First up, I talk to Rachel Gray, a primary teacher in Gateshead. She shares: 

✅ How she empowers every child as a citizen of today

✅ How she involves the very youngest children

✅ How she makes it easy for teachers

Book in a quick chat here - we would love to share how easy it is

Big fan of Ladywood Primary, who have been thinking about the theme of belonging. Such an important concept in these times, and it's great to see them exploring this across their school. 

Love this from Alwoodley Primary School, who's school council have organised a brilliant Red Nose Day. They either have a tortoise on their school council, or it's someone's pet, but either way, it's great to see!

A big shout out to Northmuir Primary in Kirriemuir (!) who joined this month. Not only our Northern-most school, but only a hop and a skip away from where I grew up. Feels good to have more Scottish schools helping every child to find their voice. 

Have a great Easter!

And give me a wee email if you'd like us to help

See it in a real school

Nothing to plan. The pupils run it.

Ready-made topics, a short meeting each class runs itself as often as suits you, and every child's view in one place rather than the same few voices. Have a look round an anonymised school, no sign-up.
