The Back Story of Nathaniel - A Conversation with Nathaniel

It was a true honour to engage in a beautiful conversation with Nathaniel Swain about his Chapter, The Back Story of Nathaniel. Nathaniel's work as a Speech and Language Pathologist in Youth Justice, his current role as a classroom teacher, and the founder of a thriving community of Educators, Thinking Forward Educators are a few of the points discussed in our conversation. Nathaniel generously talks about the following: - his initial pull towards his research in the Youth Justice - his research and key findings - https://www.nathanielswain.com/phd-research - his initial role (Speech and Language Pathology) in education - his current roles in education - https://www.nathanielswain.com/cognitorium https://thinkforwardeducators.org/ - the importance of understanding the Science of Reading and the Science of Learning, and much more. One of the points that deeply resonated with me was "Education should be the great equaliser". An enormous thanks to Nathaniel for taking the time and spending the energy on this wonderful conversation. This vote of gratitude is also extended to everyone that listens to and/or watches this conversation on Facebook, YouTube, or Podcast. Feel free to share it with anyone that may connect. 😀
