Ep 81: Why Is Education So Obsessed With 'Reinventing The Wheel'?

You've probably heard someone not in teaching say it before.... "Why can't you use what you've already planned?" So teachers REALLY need to re-plan things for every single new class? To what extent does buying into a scheme actually help? If we are really serious about reducing workload and solving the retention crisis, is this something we could calm down a little bit with? The next new fad will roll around in a couple of years and we will have to start again.... what's the point? Are there other ways to adapt teaching?
