We’re into a new stage of our podcast. It’s episode #101. And we’re joined by change-maker and schools expert, Laura McInerney, to chat teaching, tutoring, magic wands and schools.
Laura, alongside Professor Becky Allen, founded TeacherTapp in 2017 as a culmination of a lifetime of interest in gathering information and delivering it to those who need it in as accessible a format as possible.
The app collects data from over 7,500 teachers in the UK every day, in an average of just 50 seconds, through a set of 3 short questions about teaching, education and the school environment.
We started with two main questions:
- What do teachers want right now?
- What do teachers need right now?
and if you’re involved in education, those are two of the most important questions you need to hear today.
Next steps:
- Check out teachertapp.co.uk and tell one teacher you know about the app
- Read Laura’s 2014 article in The Guardian about her battle against the Department for Education around school secrecy
- Pick up a copy of Laura’s 2019 book The Leadership Factor: The 7 Characteristics of Exceptional Leaders
