Episode 61:  Welcome to thinking deeply about primary education, the podcast that gives you a peek inside the minds of some truly inspirational teachers. This week, it brings me great pleasure to present the finale of Season 4. And what a Season it has been. A huge thanks to Peps Mccrae, Sarah Farrell, Charlotte Mackechnie, Cassie Young, Nick Hart, Tom Sherrington, Oliver Caviglioli and Shannen Doherty. It really has been something else to share your wisdom with the world and I know that lots of people have learned so much thanks to your generosity.

Now this week, I have the tremendous honour of welcoming the one and only Mary Matt to discuss the past, present and future of professional development, as well as what lies in store when Primary Huh hits the shelves this Spring. 

I want to say a massive thank you to all of our supporters on KoFi. As you might know already, we want to keep TDaPE advert free so that our recommendations remain impartial and borne of genuine interest and inspiration, but things like the increasing demands Christopher Such makes in his rider, including but not limited to a faberge egg each month and a solid gold keyboard, are driving overheads through the roof. 

To help support the podcast and quell Christophers thirst for material goods, you can subscribe at ko-fi.com/tdape by choosing one of three different subscription levels, each of which will provide you with access to episode transcripts, priority episode requests, monthly CPD videos or even all of the above. To show your support visit ko-fi.com/tdape. There’s no expectation that you do subscribe but we hope that it will be worth your while if you do.

Without further ado, let’s spend some time thinking deeply about primary education.
