Dorian is joined by the fantastic Andrew Rogers as they chew the fat about the value of philosophical discussion in schools, and how we can begin to encourage teachers to empower students to grow as proficient critical thinkers through the pedagogy of p4c. Andrew leaves us with a number of suggestions for ‘getting the ball rolling’ and increasing the visibility and popularity of Philosophy in Schools.
