Engaging, insightful conversations exploring the power of professional development to boost teacher brilliance and impact student learning.

6. Favourite TTR guest (on one of your shows)?
It’s impossible to pick just one! Every guest has brought something unique to the table, from fresh insights to personal experiences, making each show a standout in its own way.

7. Favourite TTR episode (of yours) so far and why?
'Just a Classroom Teacher' – my debut episode where I explored the everyday challenges and triumphs of being in the classroom and it set the foundation for meaningful discussions on teaching, touching a personal chord for me and for educators worldwide.

Every child can succeed when given the right support, challenge, and environment and teaching should always be flexible to meet the needs of each learner.
