Alom Shaha Shooting Azimuths

- Education
This podcast features an interview with Alom Shaha, a secondary school physics teacher and father of two who has experience as a local councillor, school governor, broadcaster, and author. Alom credits his teachers for his love of science and education, and for inspiring him to pursue a career in science. He speaks several languages, including Spanish, and is interested in not just science but also pedagogy. He only discovered his passion for writing in his late 30s and hopes to continue working on his craft as a writer in the coming years.
Alom has also taught in different schools with different levels of professional development opportunities and support. He believes that senior leaders in a school should acknowledge the stresses and strains that teachers face and aim to create a working environment that allows teachers to perform at their best. He argues that when teachers feel safe, valued, and have opportunities for growth, this can lead to them taking up opportunities for professional development, which in turn benefits both teachers and students.
Alom is a speaker at the Embley Education Conference, which takes place on 14 April 2023. To find out more about the conference and to book your place, please visit www.embley.org.uk/conference
