My guest this episode, Catherine Williams, shares how connecting with others inspired her teaching and positively impacted student engagement and learning. These connections also provided the opportunity for professional learning and innovation, in addition to support, encouragement and friendship. Catherine also talks of how she now finds inspiration in nature, and the joy she finds in serving and uplifting others.
