Fraction of a Teacher follows two early career maths teachers, Jen and Francis, as they navigate the realities of the classroom. Through honest conversations, they reflect on what’s working, what isn’t, and what they’re still figuring out along the way. From teacher training to the early years of teaching, the podcast explores the challenges, lessons and small moments that shape us as educators. Because none of us starts as the finished article, we’re all just a fraction of the teacher we’re becoming.
