Welcome to the Brighter Thinking Pod from the International Education group of Cambridge University Press & Assessment. We provide a place where international education enthusiasts from all backgrounds can come together to discuss the challenges faced by teachers in a modern classroom and discover new teaching ideas. 

Our panels consist of teachers, authors, key subject figures and more. If you'd like to get involved, follow us on Twitter or Instagram @CambridgeInt and send in your show suggestions!

‘Yeah, but when are we ever going to use this in the real world?’ If you’ve been asked this question by your students before, then our episode about bringing the real world into the STEM classroom is for you!

Our host for this one is our very own Tamsin Hart, a Senior Product Marketing Executive at the Press. She is joined by two special guests. George Vlachonikolis is Head of Economics and Professional Tutor at Headington School, Oxford, as well as Author of A Level Economics teacher’s resource for Cambridge International. Michael Strachan is a Deputy Head Academic from Repton School, Dubai.
