2 Meet a primary school headteacher

Mark Millinson is the headteacher at a primary school in Cambridgeshire. He’s been a teacher since 1987, and a headteacher since 1996. He says that if you want to support children’s learning, first of all, you must be a good listener – and even be a bit of a ‘detective’. In the following video, he explains what he looks for.

You’ll hear from Mark again throughout this course.

Next, you’ll listen to part of a lecture by a professor of Childhood Studies.
