#30, Laura McInerney, Co-founder, Teacher Tapp: What We Learn When We Listen To Teachers

At 3:30pm every day, thousands of teachers answer three multiple choice questions via the Teacher Tapp app, about their day or their opinions on teaching. Teacher Tapp then analyses and shares the resulting real time data from frontline education workers. Co-founder Laura McInerney shares their reasons for starting the app, what she’s learned from listening to teachers and how we might improve schools as a result.
