Mathilda Joubert is Director of Excellence and Innovation at the Sheridan Institute for Higher Education and lectures in creativity, school improvement, leadership, management, and research methods in both the Faculties of Education and Business.
So often we hear of the need for problem solving. But what about developing skills in identifying new problems? In this interview, Mathilda breaks down what it means to be purpose driven in the way we think about problem solving. Mathilda explains that with the right knowledge about the differences between creativity and eccentricity, anyone can benefit from creative thinking to develop solutions to real problems that add real value.
This interview will help inspire teachers who are looking for that edge to create dynamic classrooms with approaches to innovation that really mean something. For more information on Mathilda’s work, check out the article below where she describes methods for developing innovation in science classes. It’s inspiring work.

Dr Michael Carr-Gregg is one of Australia’s highest profile child and adolescent psychologists.
He’s a prolific author and broadcaster, with regular appearances on Australian television and radio. He also specialises in corporate mental health, families and the seemingly ever-present issue of adolescent use of technology and its effect on mental health.
In this discussion, I talk with Michael about a recent article in the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper about a call for banning phones in schools. Now, you might already have a strong view about this and wonder why the point is still being argued. But Michael brings insight into the debate based on extensive research and experience. In fact he was asked by a former NSW minister for education to conduct a review and write a report into the non-educational use of mobile devices in NSW schools. I started by asking Michael why he had such a high level of conviction about a ban from the first bell, until the last.
Access the report on non-educational use of mobile devices in NSW schools.

Dr Pete Stebbins has over 20 year's experience as keynote speaker and facilitator. He's a published author of books on leadership, resilience and change, and also a guest psychologist on Australian television's Channel 7. I caught up with Pete to work through some of the key points of the most recent edition of his book, titled "Leading Flourishing Schools, Building HIGH CAPACITY School Culture". It's a title that's filled with promise, and followed up on the very first page with a quote that's, well, quite confronting. Pete's thesis centres around the idea that school culture can have a massive effect on the capacity of staff and students. And, that the odd unicorn encounter can make a life changing difference to any school student. I started by asking Pete about what he really means by the notion of capacity, why it's so important, and how it can impact wellbeing and the performance of teams in schools.
