Teach – What does it mean to be an effective educator today? We unpack evolving pedagogy, practical strategies, and innovative ways to engage, deliver, and assess learning in a rapidly changing world. Tech – From cutting-edge tools to tried-and-true platforms, we explore the latest in educational technology and share insights on how to bring it meaningfully into the classroom. Lead – What makes a great leader in education? We shine a light on leadership styles, practices, and stories that inspire transformation and growth in schools and beyond.

Amy Green is a keynote speaker, author and podcast host who, through her consultancy work, explores what it really means to live and work well. After starting in education, she saw how outdated ideas about productivity were leaving people overwhelmed - prompting a bigger question: what if the problem isn’t resilience, but how we design work? Amy helps leaders rethink productivity culture and build more sustainable ways of working. She’s the author of several books, including The Wellness Paradox (available soon) which examines how the pursuit of success may be driving burnout.

This pod (and the one-pager linked below), will give you some answers - but likely, many more thoughts about the ways we teach students to work independently! Hope you enjoy!

In the latest of our one-pagers, Gus and I discuss Success Looks Like... How can we best convey to students our expectations surrounding a task or activity such that they have the optimal chance of success? This pod (and one-pager linked below), will give you the answer to that question and make it (as Gus likes to say) hard for them "not to learn"! Hope you enjoy!

Gus and I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Lisa Cohen, who along with Lianne Kady are the founders of Elevated Educators (www.elevatededucators.com.au) and Blooming Classrooms - a researched backed behavior and wellbeing program supporting school teachers to thrive. I quite like the phrase on their website: "from frazzled to flourishing". Lisa and Lianne work to empower educators to feel seen, supported and equipped with real world strategies to manage student behaviour, strengthen classroom culture and stay in the profession they love. Hope you enjoy it!
