This is my conversation wtih Dan Jackson from Teachers PD.

From classroom teacher to Deputy Principal, Dan now has a thriving business supporting teachers improve their teaching and learning strategies. He runs online courses, custom PDs as well as a free podcast called the Effective teaching podcast. His podcast is a fantastic opportunity to learn from educational experts that share best practice. The episode are short and sharp and perfect for people who want to know more without having the time to read all of the educational research out there. 

I was even privileged enough to contribute (less as an expert and more as someone on the ground level), listen here: How to leverage learning styles with Laura. 

We talk about:

My chat with my wonderful friend and forever learner, Leslie Allin.

We met as young university students on exchange in England. Leslie from Canada and me from Australia.

Leslie has gone on to complete her PhD in Victorian Literature, published an analytical text, taught at the university level and now teaches womens self defence.

This is a very open and honest conversations amongst two life long friends who are forever each other's touchstones as we enter new phases of our lives.

Not only did Leslie publish her first book:

'Penetrating Critiques: Emasculated Empire and Victorian Identity in Africa', but she also became a mum this year. 

So proud of my friend.

Shout at to EJ from @kafoopleclassroom on Insta for inspiring me to advocate for my health.

This is my conversation wtih the fabulous Deb McNaughton.

Her journey from primary educator to mother to full time artist is quite the story.

She is fearless, savvy and determined. Her skills as a teacher and learner continue to catapult her to new heights as an independent artist and entrepeneur.

Deb is also incredibly kind and generous. Always sharing her platform to support other small businesses and budding artists.
