Overview

In this live episode of the Teach Tech Lead Podcast, we talk to Dr Haili Hughes! Dr Hughes will unpack what explicit teaching actually means, why it's often misunderstood, and how codification and teacher agency get set up as opposing forces in some educators' minds. Finally, we will explore how to resolve that false dichotomy in practice — where the real value of instruction lies, which pedagogies are most often misapplied when codifying practice, and how leaders can build programs and establish expectations in new school contexts that support teachers rather than constrain them. We'd love you to join us - there will be a Q&A at the end!
