FreshEd #170 – Teaching Life (Armand Doucet)

Teaching is a profession that must respond to the changing social world. From new technology and curriculum reforms to privatization and climate change – teachers are on the front-lines of a complex system that has huge consequences for the future. In this context, what is it like to be a teacher today? How do teachers manage the competing pressures? My guest today is Armand Doucet, an award-winning teacher recognized around the world. Nominated in the Top 50 for the Global Teacher Prize, Armand is a high school history teacher in New Brunswick, Canada and the author of the new book Teaching Life: Our Calling, Our Choices, Our Challenges. This episode was put together in collaboration with Education International. www.freshedpodcast.com/armanddoucet/ Twitter: @FreshEdpodcast Facebook: FreshEd Email: info@freshedpodcast.com
