Powerful Learning Podcast
This is a podcast about evidence-based teaching and the science of learning. I’m your host, Luke Rowe, and I’m a lecturer and learning scientist in Melbourne, Australia. I’m extremely passionate about the education and the learning sciences, and I started this podcast with the hope of sharing this passion with you! The mission here at Powerful Learning is to help you know more, do more, and be more. Come join me and my guests on a learning journey into topics such as feedback, metacognition, memory, intelligence, health and wellbeing, emerging and established educational technologies, and motivation – as we explore their broader implications for educators and students. The current plan is to post shows at least once per month. If you have any comments, suggestions, or ideas, I welcome your feedback by sending me a DM on Twitter / X, posting a comment in one of my YouTube clips, or following me on Instagram. May you enjoy listening to the Powerful Learning Podcast!

Series 1. Episode 6. Health and Wellbeing in Schools with Associate Professor Jon Quach
How important is the notion of ‘health and wellbeing’ in schools?
Should schools simply 'stay in their lanes' and avoid this topic altogether? Or should they play a pivotal role in the lives of learners in how they develop their health and wellbeing? And if you agree with the latter point, then to what extent should teachers be responsible for the health and wellbeing of their students? And when is it better to defer this responsibility to a health professional or to the child’s parents and carers? What about teachers? Surely, after the pandemic and a major teacher shortage across many countries teacher wellbeing is a top priority. What is being done about that?
In this podcast, I cover these questions and more with my guest Associate Professor Jon Quach who has spent the best part of 15 years researching at the nexus of health and education. Jon's academic bio can be found here.
