Welcome to the very first episode of Crown House EduTalk!

Each episode engages with authors and thinkers who are breaking new ground, informing practice, challenging our thinking or doing all three!

This is certainly the case with our first guest, Andy Hargreaves.

Andy’s career is simply remarkable. His new book, The Making of an Educator, is a powerful blend of autobiography intertwined with educational history and the great shifts in thinking that Andy has witnessed over the years, accompanied by his own challenging thinking, advice and ideas. It is a brilliant starting point for anyone who is new to Andy’s work and a superb bringing together of that work for those who have followed Andy’s career. It is also available to listeners with an exclusive discount using the code: EDU10, which will allow you to take 10% off your purchase at checkout from the Crown House Publishing website.

The conversation ranges widely across all aspects of Andy’s thinking and ideas, and draws in his contribution to Unfinished Business - The Life and Legacy of Sir Tim Brighouse, which is also available to listeners with a 10% discount using the code above.

Essentially, you get the insights of two huge educational figures, two generous and marvellous human beings and lots to take away and apply in your own role.

We are setting the bar pretty high here, but we are confident that we can keep matching this standard, time and time again!
