Jenny McAdam, Facilitator. Jenny is an incredibly creative secondary teacher, learning specialist and English tutor.  Her passion for education is matched by the lively chaos of her home life, where she co-leads a family of primary school-aged children along with a menagerie that includes ducks and bunnies. With deep empathy and a knack for making learning engaging, Jenny brings both warmth and clarity to her teaching, and her experience as a mother informs her work in powerful ways, making her especially attuned to the diverse needs of students and families.

Alex Box, Featured Presenter. Alex is an incredibly creative primary teacher, learning specialist and maths tutor. As a formerly maths-anxious student herself, Alex brings important perspectives to conversations about maths teaching and learning. Alex mentors teachers and families, and consults to various organisations and schools. She is the Founder of Maths Play, a community research project providing maths outreach to families, teachers and schools.
