Ever.

I've now been doing my fieldwork for a whole year.
I work with adults in the East End who had very poor experiences of school that have followed them into adulthood.
What can we as teachers learn when we look in new places and hear new voices?

What if Gypsy Woman by Crystal Waters was a ballad? I wanted to create a series of classic dance songs as ballads so let me know what you think in the comments and stay tuned for more! What should I cover next?

The Māori word for #autism
