There has been a lot of discussion of dogme around the blogosphere recently, triggered by the tenth anniversary of the movement. Not all of it kind….

    Great interview Darren (and of course Scott). I really enjoyed hearing you both rather than reading you. Thank you for the effort and time this took. I think it would be a great teacher education and development resource.

    Nice work!

    I’m doing a methodology session with my trainee teachers next week- so am planning to use this as an intro to dogme. It’s a great interview and it’s fun for trainees to put a face to a famous name when they’re just starting out. Thanks!

    Thank you both… I am just having so much fun doing them. I hope other get something out of them too, but to be honest the whole thing is a ruse enabling me to spend half an hour with someone interesting ;)

    Keep listening!
