Teachers Education Review: Recent Episodes
Teachers' Education Review
This is not an announcement I had expected to make under such circumstances, but unfortunately the TER Podcast will have to come to a close.
We will release the final recorded interviews, and possibly a final panel discussion to close out 11 years of the podcast, but for now I'd like to say thank you to everyone who has supported the podcast - the contributors and guests who have given their time for every episode, and the listeners whose support has been the reason we've kept going for so long!
Thank you!

Flip the System Australia was published in 2018, and brings together perspectives on education policy and practice in response to issues such as increasingly top-down education reform and outside interests influencing educational policy. This episode presents content from TeachMeet Flip the System, which was held at SHORE school on 29 March, 2019, and served as an unofficial launch of the book.
From the website: "Based in the unique Australian context, this book situates Australian education policy, research and practice within the international education narrative. It argues that professionals within schools should be supported, empowered and welcomed into policy discourse, not dictated to by top-down bureaucracy. It advocates for a flipping, flattening and democratising of the education system, in Australia and around the world."
