Chris and Philly Discuss HOD Life

Is This For Credits?

Both having recently taken over the position of Head of Department in new schools, Chris and Philly discuss their experiences. This is a chance to look ‘under the lid’ of two very different departments of English. The highs and lows will resonate with anyone working in English teaching in Aotearoa, but Philly and Chris also relay the extent to which the journey is one of personal growth.
