I’m delighted to be working with Matt McLain and Alison Hardy on a free webinar called ‘A Conversation About Teaching D&T’. The webinar is based on our chapters in the recently published fourth edition of ‘Learning to Teach Design and Technology in the Secondary School’ (Hardy, 2021). The event will be on Tuesday 1^st of December, timed to come as student teachers are getting to grips with planning lessons. One video will be released each week for the four weeks leading up to the webinar, focusing on the key themes from our chapters.

Matt, Alison and I will be talking about planning lessons for progression in design and technology, based on our chapters in the teaching D&T section:

• 02 November: Teaching D&T by Alison Hardy
• 09 November: Planning Lessons in D&T by Sarah Davies
• 16 November: Key Pedagogies in D&T by Matt McLain
• 23 November: Planning for Progression in D&T by Alison Hardy

The event is aimed at beginning teachers (student teachers and NQTs) and you can register for one of the limited places at https://bit.ly/3lgWn6U.
