What the talk is about
Jordan taught secondary-school English for eight years before the first keynote. This is the talk for the people still in the classroom: why most training is forgotten in a fortnight, and the small, unglamorous habits that make learning stick for students and staff alike.
What your audience leaves with
Why week six matters more than day one
What the research on forgetting means for a staff day, a course or a new policy, in plain words.
Questions that do the teaching
Five question shapes teachers can use tomorrow, with examples from primary to adult education.
Unfinished on purpose
How to end a lesson, a meeting or a term so people come back wanting the next part.
