Teachers Education Review

Christmas Special: It's been three-and-a-half years since TER podcast started, so for this episode, we've remastered our first ever episode to fix a couple of minor audio issues and get back to where it all began. In our first episode we talk about Gonski school funding, and the policy implications of PISA results. More than three years later, and these are still the issues we're talking about today!
