The Morning Break with Dorian Brown 12-11-21: COP26 & working freelance in education

Kit Marie Rackley joins us in the studio for an insightful, invigorating and action packed discussion on some of the hot topics in education. We cover a bit on subject associations, managing workload and wellbeing before getting to the main topic of how we can mobilise engagement and action following on from the occlusion of COP26.

Kit shares their deep knowledge and understanding of the pertinent issues surrounding the climate crisis and offers a hard to contest claim that the climate crisis is a serious safeguarding issue that teachers, leadership teams, schools, councils and governments all have a duty to address.

An incredibly engaging discussion, peppered with Kit’s trademark realness, humour and wit!
