Lissie Doyle is Head of Health and Physical Education at Kardinia International College.
She has a background in experiential learning as an outdoor educator and has worked in and around schools in PLD and Victoria in recent decades. After a brief hiatus from teaching during which she ran a renewable energy business in Tasmania, she has returned to teaching at Kardina for the past 8 years, constantly focussing on improving her own practice to maximise the learning of her students. When Lissie isn’t reading about evidence informed teaching you might find her surfing, mountain biking, and enjoying the great outdoors with her family.
This is an exciting episode for me because it’s the first time that I’ve had a guest on as a result of them listening to an ERRR podcast a few years ago. Back in 2022 Lissie listened to my discussion with Paul Spenceley on effective formative assessment and she said it was hugely influential and really changed her practice. She’s been on a mission to implement and built upon Paul’s work since then, and I was lucky enough to visit her school and see her in action a few weeks ago and thought, wow, this is a practice that ERRR listeners could learn a lot from. And so here we are.
I’m sure you’re going to love this episode, it’s always fantastic speaking with practicing teachers and really getting into the weeds around highly specific and effective practice in the classroom. I have no doubt that many of you will want to try Lisie’s test feedback approach, and we’d love to hear from you if you do!
