This week on the AWBOE podcast we are joined by Head Teacher and Author of the Teaching Delusion Trilogy, Bruce Robertson. Bruce is currently the Head Teacher of Berwickshire High School in the Scottish Borders and his area of expertise lies in improving the quality of teaching and learning within schools. Bruce shares his thoughts on what makes high quality teaching and learning and how we can strive to improve this within our schools. We discuss the value of a strong professional learning culture within school and how the use of a lesson evaluation toolkit can be an ideal starting point to help improve our teaching at both a personal level and throughout the wider school.

On this episode we are discussing all things West Highland Way and in particular, when we tried to accomplish this feat in an ambitious 24 hours. We talk about the preparation involved and the challenge itself along with reflecting on the key lessons we learnt from it. In this episode, we speak about the power of working as a team to achieve challenging tasks. As always, we finish with our take away messages. We hope you enjoy it!

A Wee Bit of Everything: Episode 2 - West Highland Way (Ambition and Teamwork)

On today's episode we have a good friend, ex colleague and competitive powerlifter. Adam gives us an isight into the training that goes into lifting your as much weight as possible through the deadlift, squat and bench press. Adam was the junior IPF champion when he was 21 and 22 holding the record for all three lifts. His passion for the sport and commitment to his training oozes from him as he goes into some depth about his training methods and how he prepares for competitions. He also touches a little on mental health and anxiety and how this can impact on training along with his methods for keeping this under control.

The vision of 'A Wee Bit of Everything' is to Inspire, Teach and Entertain (ITE):

1. Inspire: to inspire our audience to be the best versions of themselves.

2. Teach: to allow teaching professionals to test the discussed concepts, strategies and insights within their practice.

3. Entertain: go on, immerse yourself in the stories told by others, with a wee bit of Scottish patter along the way!
