Episode 153: This week on Thinking Deeply about Primary Education, I’m joined by Kate Jones and Shannen Doherty to discuss the themes in Kate’s new book, Smashing Glass Ceilings: Empowering Women in Education, which explores the challenges and opportunities for female teachers and leaders in schools. As part of the chat we discuss…

1. What inspired Kate to write this book and what are the main messages she wants to convey to readers?

2. What are some of the barriers and biases that women face in pursuing leadership roles in education and how can they overcome them?

3. How can schools create a more inclusive and supportive culture for women leaders and aspiring leaders?

4. How can men be allies and advocates for women in education and what are some of the benefits of having more diverse and balanced leadership teams?

5. What are some of the resources and networks that women can access to support their professional development and career progression?

…and much, much more! Whether you’re new to the profession or an experienced senior leader, you won’t want to miss this one!
