#9: Tim Warwick, enabling agency for education equity

Tim Warwick is the founder of the Education Equity Alliance (https://www.educationequityalliance.com.au/), former teacher, school leader, and education project manager. Tim left his school leadership roles with a deep passion around enabling agency of all education stakeholders for education equity. Tim and Megan met in late 2022 and have been diving into big discssions around the education system (like this podcast episode) ever since.

In this episode, Tim explains the role of the alliance and shares some of the emerging themes and reflections from students and educators who have engaged in the pilot work. Tim breaks down the definition of equity and inequity and shares some of the challenges and current barriers that have led to the current situation in our education system. Megan and Tim both acknowledge that systems change can sound like a daunting and impossible task, but Tim explains that by using system-aware tools and thinking, we can start to empower ourselves, see a problem with new perspective, and work towards innovation.
