In this week's episode I have the pleasure of chatting with Emma Rae from Connected Kids. Emma is a teacher and mother who believes in the power of education to shape the future.
Emma shares her journey in teaching, and the observations she has made along the way.
We also discuss:
- discrepancies between learning at university and teaching in schools

- doing your own research as a teacher
- real world learning
- plus so much more
