In this episode of Lessons That Shape Us, we sit down with Ms Layne to talk about teaching as more than a profession — but a responsibility and a form of impact. Ms Layne shares her perspective on guiding students through growth, building confidence, and creating learning environments where young people feel supported and understood.

From classroom experiences to broader reflections on education today, this conversation highlights the values, mindset, and personal development that make learning meaningful. Alongside these themes, the episode also touches on how tools like artificial intelligence are beginning to influence the learning process, and why human judgment, ethics, and student voice remain essential in an increasingly digital world.
