At long last I can get the details up of my interview with Alex Savage and Joe Dale. Both are lead practitioners with the SSAT and I drove up to Euston to video interview them at the Thistle Hilton Hotel Euston in June. Joe has already archived and annotated the film at his blog.
I won't write any more but just mirror Joe's notes because they are pretty comprehensive!
There is a mp3 version of the clip generated automatically by blip.tv that you can also download it from here .
These teachers are setting the models for future learning.
