Welcome to another edition of the Education Enclave podcast, where I focus on excellence in education.
Today’s guest has had a big influence on my career by encouraging me to pursue the principal role, and was then my mentor when I did in fact become a principal.
Chris Thomas is currently an independent consultant, who was previously the Director of Programs at the Queensland Education Leadership Institute, and before that he was a high performing principal at Yarra Junction Primary School in Victoria.
In this episode we discuss Chris’s pathway in education, why he became a teacher, as well as key learnings he has had along the way.
Chris is a passionate educator, and is a strong advocate for all in the profession. We delve into some of his passions such as principal wellbeing, collegiate coaching and moral purpose.
A big part of Chris’s work is facilitating Teach Like A Champion workshops, which are running all over Australia in 2024.
