Episode 59: Bonus 5 The Fieldtrip Interviews With Brad Baker and Victor Elderton

Season 2 Episode 29 Published 7 months, 2 weeks ago
Description

The Stunt Brothers hope you’re beginning to relax as you head into Spring Break. There’s no better time to decompress than with another of our bonus Fieldtrip Sessions, this time a remix of two of our favourite guests from Season One. We revisit Episode 14, “Going Forward with Courage,” with Brad Baker, and Episode 20, “Where the Wild Things Are,” with Victor Elderton. 

Roy and Martin start a little slow with a weary adjustment to daylight savings time but soon find their energetic podcast timing with a humorous debate on time changes and scientific thinking. Then it's time for our two for one. First up is Dr. Brad Baker, Superintendent of Indigenous Education for the province of British Columbia and a proud member of the Squamish Nation. Then we go outside with Victor Elderton, who currently teaches at both the University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University and has over 30 years of experience as a teacher and principal at North Vancouver's Cheakamus Centre. 

These memorable conversations are full of insight, inspiration, and the kind of storytelling that reminds us why the work we do in education matters. Enjoy this chance to revisit two standout moments from Season One while you recharge for the weeks ahead.
