Laying the Foundations Educational Consulting - A Conversation with James Dobson

It was an absolute honour to engage in a wholesome conversation with James about his Chapter, Laying the Foundations Educational Consulting. James generously shares the following points: - His experiencing with tutoring in his high school years. - His decision to become a primary school teacher. - His transition from Victoria to Northern Territory where he was introduced to a program called Direct Instruction (where students learned to read through explicit instruction). - Pivotal moments along the way. - The transition to his new Chapter, Laying the Foundations Educational Consulting. A few of his takeaways stuck with me: - "I wanted to improve in my everydayness". - Change happens in small steps. - As educators, we frequently underestimate our own knowledge and overestimate our students knowledge. James can be contacted on his website - https://www.layingthefoundations.net/ An enormous thanks to James for taking the time to share his Chapter and for everyone that will engage with it. It will be available on  @humanchapters  YouTube, Podcast, and Facebook page. Please share it.
