For this episode, Tom Sherrington and Emma Turner chat all things data, community, and policy with educator, leader, and entrepreneur Laura McInerney.ย 

To start they discuss Lauraโ€™s journey from early Teach First pioneer, to her position as editor for Schools Week, to her current position as co-founder of Teacher Tapp, an application that polls teachers on their thoughts concerning discourse in education. In each of her positions, Laura has had a solitary mission: to collect information and put it in the hands of those who need it most. With their community-oriented surveys, Teacher Tapp has collected data from 2018 to 2022 to put in the hands of decision-makers from policy writers to the educators themselves.ย 

A major topic in this discussion concerned the demographics of educators using Teacher Tapp and how Laura and her team use their intimate knowledge of the education sector to best represent the data they collect. To learn more about Teacher Tapp and its mission here: https://teachertapp.co.uk/ย
