172: What was the best piece of advice you have ever been given? Ep 2
What do you think is the most important advice you could give your children so they can grow up to be the best version of themselves?
This bonus episode is a compilation of responses to that question from my guests 10-19 who appeared on the Learning on Fire Podcast.
This podcast had some wonderful conversations around 10 set questions:
1. Who are you?
2. What does your life look like now and how is it different from when you were growing up?
3. What was valuable about your school experience?
4. Which teachers do you remember and why?
5. Who did you admire when you were young?
6. What was it about that person that had such an impact?
7. What was the best piece of advice you have ever been given and who gave it to you?
8. What advice would you give your younger self?
9. What does your future look like?
10. What podcast, book, video, film, song or other resource has had the biggest impact on your life and why?
We are not producing any new shows for Learning on Fire but wanted to make sure you had the opportunity to hear some of these inspiring people share their story. Click the link below for the full collection playlist.

171: Dyslexia awareness and how technology can help
Aimee Cave is a current practising SENDCO in East Yorkshire with sustained experience of creating good provision in her school, including orchestrating the school becoming the first ADHD friendly school in Yorkshire. She also runs her own SEND Consultancy business. Aimee has completed her NASENCO Award, is an Accredited Attachment Lead and has been trained by Whole School SEND in supporting other schools to review and improve their SEND provision.
As part of her work in school Aimee started using (and then working with) Lexplore Analytics.
Lexplore Analytics combine the latest in both AI and eye-tracking technology with the “human touch” of good teachers. By analysing correlations and patterns in eye movement data, our machine learning models are able to quickly and objectively determine reading attainment. Some of these patterns might even elude most human beings or other computer programmes, therefore, their introduction into the classroom can help offer teachers an entirely different perspective when it comes to reading, as well providing the valuable information needed in minutes.

168: Pandemic Pods
I discuss pandemic pods and how they can support you during this current Coronavirus outbreak.
Pandemic pods can take a number of forms, including:
- Parents swapping care for each other’s children, most likely rotating the children between houses, with less of a specific focus on learning (perhaps for younger children)
- Hiring an online tutor to coach a group of students primarily online
- Hiring a caregiver to work with the children in-person to make sure they stay on track with school-provided curriculum
- Either swapping care or hire a caregiver to focus on aspects of learning that aren’t traditionally covered in school (e.g. interest-led learning, explicitly anti-racist, anti-patriarchal learning, etc.)
Jen Lumanlan, a previous guest from episode 68 has put together resources to help you navigate this new world of learning.
Jen Lumanlan holds an M.S. in Psychology (Child Development) and an M.Ed., and hosts the Your Parenting Mojo podcast which is a reference guide for parents of toddlers and preschoolers based on scientific researchers and the principles of respectful parenting.
