Simon Breakspear and Bronwyn Ryrie Jones: Teaching Sprints How Overloaded Educators Can Keep Getting Better (#15)

In this episode, I am going to be having a conversation with with Simon Breakspear and Bronwyn Ryrie Jones, the authors of the book Teaching Sprints Ho w Overloaded Educators Can Keep Getting Better. I have had the privilege of meeting Simon a few times and also working with him virtually and I have been fascinated with his work for a long time. This is the first time that I have chatted with Bronwyn, despite being slightly obsessed with her research on building bridges between complex theory and the everyday practice. Each of these educators are brilliant in their own light, and to have the together speaking about the fascinating work that they are currently involved in is really special.
