Would You Let a Teacher Work Two Days a Week in Your Team?

What if your next hire spent three days a week in a classroom and two in your team? It's the idea Beverly Clarke MBE admits she's putting out "in a really wild way". She means it as a fix for the widening gap between what schools teach and what industry says it needs.

She and Rebecca Franks, co-hosts of Tech Journey Insights and both former teachers, argue the stakes are rising. AI is thinning out the junior roles that used to absorb new talent, and many teachers still can't see how far their skills travel. We unpack why a teacher is effectively 30 roles at once, why one of them walked out of the classroom with no job lined up, and why the other is bootstrapping rather than let investors reset her priorities on children's data.

If you hire, lead or once taught, press play.
