Redefining Education with Andrew Rhodes

Tiny Voice Talks Education

In this episode, Toria chats to Andrew Rhodes about how in the rapidly evolving educational landscape it is now more important than ever to ensure that teachers are given the time and space to do what they do best, which is to teach. Redefinition is the action or process of re-looking at something and making a change. As educators is it time to redefine some of the ways we see the world around us and in turn redefine the ways we develop professional creativity?
Andrew has worked in education since completing his BA in Primary Education in 2004. He has been within leadership roles, holding a range of TLRs and Senior Leadership posts; including being a Headteacher in a 1 form entry Primary School that had a Resourced Provision for pupils with Speech, Language & Communication
Difficulties. Inclusion has always been something Andrew is passionate about and as a teacher, tailoring personalised provision for pupils and ensuring that families felt valued as part of the community was always at the forefront of his practice. He is a strong advocate for putting Social Emotional Learning at the very heart of a schools
approach. In addition, Andrew has always sought to redefine the ways in which himself and the people he works with develop their practice and it is this that led him into becoming extensively involved in school to school support.
Andrew finished his headship to launch his own educational company ;Redefining Education Ltd; which aims to support schools, trusts, teachers and leaders to Reflect, Rethink and Transform. Through his website, he has created a blog which can be found here and recently wrote an article on how to develop a “Shared Assessment”
Framework: Assessment in primary schools – Do you need a shared framework? (teachwire.net).
He regularly runs training sessions on “Redefining” elements of practice when not supporting schools and also works as a University Professional Tutor and Lecturer, helping to shape the next generation of teachers.
