If I Weren't a Teacher...
What did you want to be when you were growing up..? A doctor? A vet? A Farmer? In this episode, we take a walk down memory lane and look back on the jobs we thought we wanted, the jobs we needed to make pocket money as teenagers, the easy jobs, the horrible jobs and... what brought us to where we are today. Put the kettle on, get comfy and join us...

The Outdoor Emergency
In a single generation, the time children spend outside has halved - to an average of just 4 hours, total, per week. As educators, we’re often presented with the symptoms of this massive shift in childhood experience. In this episode, we explore the impact of a loss of connection with nature and how we - in school - can take learning outside the classroom more often to help children reconnect with the great outdoors and regain lost skills.

Mindset Matters
"Where did the holiday go? Is it Monday already? I'm counting down the days. Been more of a stress than a break." We all do it. In this episode, we discuss the importance of the stories we tell ourselves, the mindset we choose or allow and the importance of taking control.
