<description>Here at Teacher magazine, we are lucky to have the opportunity to work with experts across all areas of education. We interview them for articles, record podcasts with them, accept submissions they’ve written specifically for our readers, and share exclusive excerpts from their books. This month on Teacher, we have published so many pieces of content from those working in the sector, and we're excited to share more with you in this episode of Teacher Staffroom. Of course, we’ll be posing questions throughout, so we encourage you to pause the audio, gather some colleagues, and reflect on how you can use these insights in your own school context.
