Friday Vox Pop: Recent Episodes
Jess McCulloch
Each Friday I ask the students at my school an education related question like 'What do you think teachers should do to be better teachers?' and this is a podcast of their replies.
This week's question was 'What was one of your learning goals for this term and how are you going with it?'
This week I asked the kids what they thought of our rubbish free lunches on Tuesday and Thursday.
This week's question was 'What is the best thing about being back at school for Term 3?'
A chat with some of my Year 9 and 11 students about why they think it's important to learn another language.
This week's question was 'What is your favourite subject or thing to do at school?' The teachers even go in on this one!
This week's question was 'What skills do you need to learn to be ready for your future?
This week's question was "If you were Principal for a day what would you change to help improve the way students learn?"
Talk about a tough audience - trying voxpopping students on the last day of term. The last thing they want to think about is what the best classroom activity the did was and why is was good. But, I got some responses...
We have a bit of a problem at our school with too much rubbish being left in the yard, so I asked the students whether it was ok to leave their rubbish lying around. Not all of them said no...
This was recorded a while ago but is finally here! Listen to what my students think makes a good teacher. How do you shape up?
This week's question was 'What is the most important thing you learn how to do at school?'
This week's question was 'What could teachers to do to help make school more interesting?'
My initial question was "What do your teachers need to know about how you learn?" but I found that the kids thought this was a bit hard and weren't sure how to answer it. So to make it easier for the students to answer, I mostly asked them "How do you learn best?" They knew the answer then!
