Augmented Learning Podcast & Vlog Episode #73

During lockdown, Celia and I sat down with Emma to talk about some of her wins and successes teaching Outdoor Education in a rural school. Emma was a panel member at the PENZ conference earlier in the year where she entertained the audience with a snapshot of what teaching is like for here, around the theme of embracing uncertainty.

Emma Don is the Head of Department of Health, Physical Education and Outdoor Education at Oxford Area School, a Year 1-13 school located in Oxford, at the foot of the Canterbury Foothills. Along with her role as HOD, Emma is also a Within School Lead (WSL) in the Tipu Maia Kahui Ako which encompasses Canterbury Area Schools. She is a Mum to two young boys, aged 6 and 3. Emma embraces every challenge as an opportunity to get better and improve her teaching and learning practice.
