Episode notes

Most people will say that spending time with people who matter is up there in terms of priorities, especially at Christmas. So why is there such a focus on buying something for your class? I don't think we need to buy gifts for our students - instead we should prioritise "presence". In this show I reflect on the power of spending quality time with our students, the benefits this has for engagement and also how it can support wellbeing.
