“I thought this was going to be a very good podcast. I really liked the concept of discussing theory of education vs other education podcasts that just invite a different “expert” on every show (it’s always a teacher that quit teaching and decided to write a book or a blog on how to be a better...”Read full review »

“I am a graduate of secondary education currently working in adult education.

They are...”Read full review »
