S1E5 - w/ Joanne McEachen: The Depthvale Detectives and the Great Education Crisis: A Guide to Contributive Learning in Schools

Joanne introduces us to her new book The Depthvale Detectives. She recounts how this book is a reflection on the evolution of her thinking on system and school change.

Joanne has been leading system and school change for decades, first in her homeland New Zealand where she was responsible for school improvement in the Ministry of Education, and more recently as a co-founder of New Pedagogies for Deep Learning (NPDL) and also as CEO of The Learner First. While Joanne’s book was written prior to the pandemic, she reflects on why its messages and methodologies are even more relevant in today’s changed world.
