S2E13 - Leading Creative and Curious Schools with Tamara Doig

Send a text

Join me this week on Positively Leading as I speak with Tamara Doig, a principal from Perth, who transitioned from media and journalism to education. Her love for teaching began through volunteering, and she now leads schools to create innovative opportunities for all learners, promoting curiosity, agency and real-world skills.

We discuss the Creative Schools Project, which blends traditional teaching methods with creative approaches, enhancing engagement in HASS and science. Tamara shares insights on balancing explicit teaching with foundational skills in literacy and numeracy for a well-rounded educational strategy.

We also discuss effective time management and leadership development, highlighting strategies for balancing professional and personal commitments. Tamara emphasises the importance of mentorship and community engagement in recognising potential within teams.
