He wrote one of the six commissioned expert papers for the UN’s 2023 High Level Panel of 17 ex-Ministers and union leaders on the future of the teaching profession, arguing that one of the main priorities was to change how the work of teaching feels though more school-based innovation opportunities. These arguments can be seen in 2024 publications in Practical Literacy (for the Australian Literacy Educator’s Association), and The Australian Educational leader.

Andy’s lifelong dedication to education continues to shape the global conversation on how schools can uplift and inspire students from all backgrounds.
