About this listen
This episode explores Sarah Seleznyov and Robert Lobatto’s book A Practical Guide to a Big Education, rooted in the idea that schools should offer an education of the “head, heart and hand”: academic knowledge, wellbeing and relationships, and practical skills such as creativity, communication and problem-solving. Sarah and Robert argue that education has become too heavily weighted towards compliance, data and narrow outcomes, and that schools need to recover a more human, agency-rich model for both pupils and teachers.
A key theme is that innovation does not mean chaos or a free-for-all. Instead, the conversation presents strong values, shared expectations and thoughtful structures as the “shell” within which teachers and pupils can exercise freedom, judgement and creativity.
They highlight restorative and relational behaviour cultures, independent inquiry, teacher agency and bottom-up change, ultimately encouraging educators to be bold, context-sensitive and true to their values rather than simply serving the system.
