Listen "Beth Taylor-Jones: The teacher that changed my life, student voice, caring classrooms and 367 marathons later."
Episode Synopsis
                            This week’s episode is a really special one. We all have that teacher that changed our lives, the one that saw us, the one that believed in us and the teacher that took the time to get to know us. Today, it is my pleasure to introduce you to Mrs Taylor-Jones, my Year 3 teacher from Long Row Primary School in Belper, England. I vividly remember being in her class. 1993 was a particularly rough period in my life; my family had just separately and I felt so alone. Her classroom was a safe place for me, a place where anything was possible. I LOVED her class, and this set me on a teaching career path. 
To be honest, I am sure that everyone in that class and the many classes since felt the same way. If you get a chance, reach out and thank your teacher, they may never know the difference that they made in your life.
