About this listen

Join Dave and Lesson Hacker, experienced educator and edtech expert Kat Morgan, as they explore how remote subject specialists could help tackle the UK’s teaching recruitment crisis, the benefits for students, and the challenges schools face.

They discuss how virtual teaching can bring highly qualified experts into classrooms where staff shortages make it impossible to offer certain subjects, from GCSE computer science to A-level physics. They also cover the practicalities: the need for good equipment, trained in-class support, and the opportunities for personalised learning through technology.

But it’s not just about filling gaps—virtual teaching could open doors to new pedagogical approaches, AI integration, and exciting experiences for students that were previously out of reach. Dave and Kat weigh the pros and cons, challenge misconceptions about cost and exam preparation, and explore how this model could reshape teaching careers.

Could this really be the way forward?

Whether you’re a teacher, school leader, or just curious about the future of education, this discussion offers a thought-provoking look at innovation, flexibility, and what’s next for classrooms in England.
