In this episode of Professional Development, we continue the discussion with Neil Sandham— We explore how Indigenous perspectives can be meaningfully integrated into classrooms—not just by adding content, but by shifting the very way we think about science, inquiry, and knowledge itself. Neil reflects on his time teaching in Morley, Alberta, and challenges the performative nature of some current FNMI initiatives in education.Our conversation expands into how forensic science creates the perfect sandbox for inquiry-based learning, why passion is critical to avoiding burnout, and how teachers can bring more of themselves into the classroom without losing sight of student needs.From capillary density in distance runners to Spider-Man lore and why meaningful work matters more than workload, this episode moves through education, science, comics, and personal growth—all woven together with humor, honesty, and a deep love for teaching.This episode is a must-listen for educators, students, and anyone who believes that real learning can—and should—go beyond ticking boxes.🔔 Subscribe for more conversations on education, innovation, and finding purpose in a noisy world.
