Listen to the episode:
Are you interested in pedagogy as the agency of teaching and learning? What do you think about radical relearning about how we interact with our environment? How can we learn from children? Stay tuned for the answers from Kelly Boucher!
Interview with Kelly Boucher, a scholar, education consultant and breakthrough coach. We talk about her vision for the future of cities, pedagogy, radical relearning, the need to slow down, and many more.
Kelly Boucher is an independent scholar, education consultant and a personal breakthrough coach. She helps organisations across the education sector activate collective critical dialogue to ‘think otherwise with the world’. By facilitating robust exchanges within theory and practice, Kelly nurtures and develops research culture within education settings. This in turn helps teachers reconceptualise what teaching and learning could be. Kelly’s recent publications focus on place and materials as relational learning opportunities for children. In 2019 her work was cited as a best practice scenario for children’s learning by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority. Her book chapters Radical Collaboration: Flipping the Paradigm on Learning; (2021) and Radical Trust: Attending and Attuning to The World (2022) are Amazon #1 International Bestsellers. In the personal coaching space, she supports individuals (teachers or otherwise) to transform their everyday lives from burnt out to joyful by becoming curious life-long learners and active citizens of the now. Kelly thinks with concepts, lives slowly on Dja Dja Wurrung country and is cultivating her own inner ecology next to a huge eucalyptus tree.
