    BACK TO SCHOOL with Laura McInerney [Episode 2]

    Welcome to Back to School, a mini series from The Sizzle Podcast.Back to School episodes see guests take a time machine trip back to their experiences of education. We discuss memories from primary school (4-11 years), secondary school (11-16 years) and 16+ years. Then we think about how these experiences might have shaped guest’s views on education and the workplace.In this episode, I talk with Laura McInerney . Laura is a former teacher, education journalist, co-founder of TeacherTapp and a regular face on panel shows and news broadcasts.We discussed a lot, including the following themes: * Being an “old headed child” * A desire to be in charge of our learning * The differences between primary and secondary education * The relationship between care, boundaries and structure in school * Nail varnish remover as a token of trust * The REAL inspiration behind Laura’s personal logo * The interaction between learning from employment and school * The power and distinctiveness of “teacher voice” * Education as a tool for people, so they can stand up for themselves and not passively accept things in their lives that they're not happy with You can find Laura here:LinkedIn: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/lauramcinerney1Twitter/X: @miss_mcinerneywebsite: https://lauramcinerney.com/ If you are a teacher, you can find out more about / sign up to TeacherTapp here:https://teachertapp.co.uk/ This is a public episode.
