  • Insightful

    We had Meg at our school for a PD session then I was inspired to listen to some of her podcasts. I have completely loved them! They’ve been great to critically reflect on my practice and me as a person as well. I always look forward to searching through the podcasts for something inspiring! I’m always looking to grow and develop as a teacher despite being in the industry for over 20 years so it’s been great to have this avenue. Thanks so much Meg.
