Listen "Emma Mansfield: Building expertise and excellence in NSW education."
Episode Synopsis
Today, I'm joined by Emma, Executive Director, Strategic Priorities at the NSW Department of Education and a proudly accredited Lead Teacher. With a career shaped by a deep commitment to educational excellence, Emma has held a range of influential leadership roles at both the school and system levels. She played a key role in founding the HALT Association NSW and now returns as its President, continuing to advocate for the recognition and celebration of teaching expertise across the state.
In our conversation, we’ll explore what it means to lead with purpose, how accreditation can elevate teaching practice, and why teacher voice matters more than ever in shaping the future of education.
