teacher teacher! We’ve all had teachers in our lives – join Caroline Graham , Gabrielle Tozer and Megan Daley for a lively and enlightening discussion about the highs and lows of the profession. The power of an exceptional teacher cannot be overestimated. Sometimes it is not about what they taught you, but that they saw you, before you recognised yourself, and nudged you in a direction that would change the course of your life. So why are teachers undervalued? How is the role of the teacher changing? This panel discussion is for parents, educators, school management teams and anyone who might be involved in supporting their children’s literacy development.
