In the last episode of the year, Adam and Amy look back on the year that was - the things that have gone well and the things that haven’t quite worked out. Onwards to next year, see you on the other side! 
In this episode, Adam and Amy discuss a number of education myths, ranging from learning styles to behaviour as a communication of unmet needs.
In this episode, Adam and Amy take questions from the listeners about all things education, training, and whether we should "just give them a pen"...
