About this listen

In this episode, Alistair Coffey, a passionate upper primary teacher, shares how his pedagogical strategy, Shapes of Learning https://shapesoflearning.com reflect his journey moving from enforcing uncritical structures of control and power to enabling responsive discipleship and effective learning.  His profound self-reflection ability invites us all to question why we are so attached to our classroom practices and structures.  This conversation moves seamlessly between philosophical reflections and everyday classroom practice. Alistair's ability to link classroom practices (often as mundane and ubiquitous as desks facing the front of the room) with the roots and fruits of these practices is both challenging and inspiring. 

Alistair has been a teacher for 12 years in both the UK and Australia. He is a husband, father and passionate Christian educator and ongoing student, continually learning and growing in the outworking of his calling.
