Episode notes
“I always said I’d never be a teacher…”
Sam 'O'Brien's mum was a teacher, a profession her daughter maintained she would never pursue.
Fast forward a few years and not only has Sam done that - through University of Northampton's (UON) BA in Learning & Teaching (BALT), but she’s combined her new-found love for education with her passion for Japan, teaching Japanese children in England and LGBT+ issues and awareness.
Sam is also neurodivergent and, in this episode of our Unsung Educators podcasts - all about support roles in teaching and the people who study for them - she talks about her strategies for keeping on top of her university studies and the support she had from the academic team.
