Live from ARP at Boston College!

In June 2025, a group of teachers from Nord Anglia schools around the world gathered at Boston College for our Action Research Conference. Four of our amazing keynote speakers from the event closed out the conference with a panel discussion, which is what we're sharing today. Our panellists were Dr Kate Erricker (Group Head of Education Research and Global Partnerships at NAE), Dr Damian Bebell (Assistant Research Professor from Boston College's Lynch School of Education), Dr Ruben Puentedura (creator of the SAMR model for selecting, using, and evaluating technology in education), and Dr Trish Martin (Regional Managing Director of MonstarLab America). Enjoy!

International Teacher Staffroom

In today's episode, I'm excited to share a conversation I had recently as a guest on International Teacher Staffroom, a podcast hosted by Aimee Skidmore and Jacob Rosch that connects international teachers and provides thoughtful support for those working in international schools. Aimee, Jacob and I explore issues around classroom management and offer support to find impactful solutions. It was a great conversation, and I'm excited to be sharing it with you.
