Ep 9: Interview with Summer Howarth

In episode 9, we interview the fantastic Summer Howarth, the Director of Learning Design at EduChangemakers. Summer is one of the most passionate and hard-working educators out there and this chat could have gone on for days. We discuss the origins of TeachMeet in Australia and discover why libraries, cheese and 7-minute stories go together. Summer shares insight into why teaching was a calling for her and how her story evolved through school. We also unpack the vast portfolio of work that Summer and the EduChangemakers team do, exploring everything from design thinking to lean startup to how to impact change in schools. Summer also unveils some new feature events for EduChange (you'll have to listen to hear these exclusives!). We hope you enjoy the show. Dean and I would also love it if you could take a few minutes of your time to leave us a review on iTunes, PodBean or Soundcloud.
