#178: What good support from senior leadership actually looks like when a teacher says I'm drowning, with Aaron Johnston
This is the final one. My last episode live here at EduTech 2026, and I cannot think of a better way to wrap it up. Joining me is my teachergram turned real life friend Aaron Johnston, who popped his head into the booth yesterday and got roped into coming back for an interview. If you don't already know Aaron, you should. He is a deputy principal at Talara Public School, now in his 18th year of teaching, and he is well known across the teacher podcast space for leading the way on Aboriginal e...

#177: Educating the 'whole child' beyond the academic buzzword. Andrea Vandenbohl on building a school culture where every child feels seen
I am still here at EduTech 2026, and today's conversation has completely lit me up. I'm sitting across from the wonderful Andrea Vandenbohl, deputy principal at Northam Grammar School, where she has spent the last five years leading initiatives that weave wellbeing science and character education into every part of school life. Andrea's work is built on the belief that educating young people is about so much more than academic achievement. Through her leadership of student leadership programs...

#176: Kate Stockman on student voice, empathy, and why so many students stay silent.
This one almost didn't happen, and I am so glad it did. Today's guest literally walked past my booth at EduTech 2026 to introduce herself, and within about two minutes I knew I needed her energy on this podcast. Her name is Kate Stockman, and she is deeply passionate about helping young people find their voice and helping schools build cultures where communication actually thrives. Kate is a secondary educator, communication specialist, and founder of Communicators. Having taught drama, Engli...

#174: Is your school quietly killing curiosity? Carmel McGee on what it looks like for curiosity to thrive (and why this matters).
Joining me is Carmel McGee, a Tasmanian educator and certified lead teacher who has spent much of her career chasing one question: how do we actually create the conditions for curiosity to thrive? Carmel works at Riverside Primary School in Launceston, where she helps build classroom cultures where kids are curious, capable, and courageous. Her thinking has been shaped by some seriously impressive influences, including Project Zero at Harvard, UC Berkeley, and inquiry learning legends Kath Mu...

#173: Finally answering the biggest questions you've sent in. Can you be too nice? How to get on top of the chattiness? The number one hill I'll die on with classroom management? + MORE!
Okay, so this one's a little different. I'm not the one asking the questions today. I'm coming to you live from EduTech 2026, booth 1216, and before I put a single educator, leader or keynote speaker in the hot seat, my best friend and fellow teacher Jess decided it was only fair I sit in it myself first. Jess grabbed all the questions you've been sending me on Instagram and in my inbox — the big ones, the spicy ones, the ones you've been dying to ask — and she fired them at me with zero warn...

#172: Starters CAN be your classroom management superpower (here's how to do them right)
If you can grab them in the first five minutes, everything feels easier. That's the magic of a great starter activity — and this episode is Claire's full Q&A on how to do them well. Starter tasks are one of Claire's absolute favourite things (her words). Done right, they communicate your expectations before you've said a single word, shift whatever energy students are walking in with, and create the kind of consistency and predictability that makes your classroom feel safe — for your stud...

#171: If you want students to take REAL accountability for their behaviours, here's the 4 things you need to do.
Teachers are constantly being told to move away from punitive approaches — but rarely given the actual, practical skills to replace them with. And that gap? It's leaving teachers feeling disempowered, lost, and like restorative practice just doesn't work. This episode is Claire's answer to that. She's breaking down her exact framework for helping students build real accountability after big behaviour moments — in a way that's realistic, respectful, and actually works in a real classroom. In t...
