Research → staffroom, in 20 minutes
Welcome to The Education Commute—turning the research you don't have time to read into your 20-minute journey to work.
Each week, we take one piece of evidence—from UK benchmarks and EEF toolkits to global education research—and test how it actually translates to Monday morning reality in primary, secondary, and specialist classrooms worldwide.
We debate the nuance rather than reading the press release. Grounded in UK practice, built for educators everywhere, and fully sourced before the morning bell rings.
Hosted by a serving school leader working through the same NPQ frameworks the show covers — NPQH and NPQLBC completed, NPQSENCo in progress.
