In this episode, I'm looking at two of the oldest — and most overlooked — educational philosophies out there: Classical education and the Charlotte Mason method. I work in a Classical school, and the more I learn about it, the more I realise that the... more
The number one concern teachers have about inquiry learning isn't time, or curriculum pressure — it's control. In this episode, we talk honestly about why that fear makes complete sense, what "losing control" actually looks like in practice (versus w... more

- Helping teachers bloom!
I really enjoy listening to Edwina’s podcast. She is insightful, speaks with confidence but isn’t arrogant, raises helpful questions and seeks to solve problems teachers may face. Most of all, I love that she is curious and models curiosity for others! Her interviews are great and I appreciate the time she takes to think deeply on key topics and concepts. Thanks Edwina!

Australiaa year ago - Where evidence meets practice
I really enjoy Edwina’s podcast. She has a knack for taking big educational concepts and breaking them down into smaller, bite sized pieces of information. I particularly like that she is able to use evidence to unpack certain myths that are floating around (particularly about EDI vs. inquiry). A wonderful listen!
Apple Podcasts5PreeklesAustralia2 years ago - Blooming’ Briliant Podcast about Joyful Active Learning
This podcast is brilliant and so inspiring . The passion that, Edwina, oozes puts a smile on my face when I listen. She not only is inspiring but practical too.
Her suggestions come with real anecdotes that inspire action. She shares her passion with such enthusiasm that this should be mandatory for all teachers AND legislators to listen as part of weekly Professional development.

Apple Podcasts5ChaaliAustralia2 years ago - Great educational podcast
Great thoughts from Edwina. She’s easy to listen to and provides very thought provoking content. I’ve been a teacher for 33 years now in the UK and really value her ideas on inquiry based learning. I shall definitely be downloading her 101 resource as I’ve been put in reception next year- and dreading it! (But trying to change my mindset😁).
