the podcast
Heather Wells is the principle of  a Co Ed 4-18 Independent College in a very traditional education context and a struggling economy.  She trained and started her career in the UK as  teacher and school administrator with a specialization in management in Education and in Special and Inclusive Education.
​
  Heather believes education is about learning for tomorrow not just for exams and where individuals are seen and heard, where learning to learn is a process and individual skills and talents are recognized and exploited.
 I asked Heather:Â
just how possible she believes it is for Wonderfully Wired kids to thrive in conventional schools. Â
What shifts she believes teachers and schools can make to really foster inclusive classroomsÂ
and how she would encourage parents of Wonderfully Wired kids go about advocating for their kids.
