Every Student Podcast

Every Student Podcast

Join Mark Scott, Secretary of the NSW Department of Education, as he introduces listeners to the education leaders who are doing things differently to drive positive change in our classrooms. The Every Student podcast is a series of conversations with educators who are delivering quality teaching and learning to improve life opportunities for every young person in their care. These leaders don’t wait for permission to innovate. They know education can’t be status quo, because we are not preparing young people for a status quo world.
