Dr Fatemeh Aminpour – Research Fellow at the City Futures Research Centre at UNSW – joins Teacher editor Jo Earp to explore how you can go about making small, thoughtful changes to playgrounds and outdoor spaces informed by student feedback and research to improve the experience for all children.

What are the persistent teaching dilemmas you find yourself thinking about in your spare time and circling back to time and again?

As a teacher, you’ll likely remember your first few years in the profession and the support that made a difference to you.

We know schools play a crucial role in supporting post-school pathways, and recently at Teacher we’ve been exploring many facets of careers education. This episode of Teacher Staffroom will bring you up to date with this coverage, and we also share other recent highlights from our content.  

In today’s Global Education podcast we’re joined by Dr Pauline Martinot, the lead author of the groundbreaking French study that points to the first year of school as the time and place where a maths gender gap emerges in favour of boys.
