  • Shining a light on wonderful work of teachers

    All too often teachers are bashed in the papers for failing kids (I notice as my partner is a teacher and I'm in education). It's nice to listen to something positive that shares stories of the great work being done by teachers across Australia. Great that the podcast is profiling different people every week- look forward to future episodes.
