About Education: a Clusterf_ck in Need of Repair

This podcast is about the mess we've made of teaching and learning - part information, part rant, and mostly ideas for change; positive, radical, practical, useful ideas for positive, radical, practical, useful change. This is my shoulder to the wheel of the thing I care about. Thanks to Jaylikethealphabet⁠ for the use of the song "Bread" Keep up with the conversation: Instagram & TikTok: @educationclusterf_ck
