36: Messy Maths with Juliet Robertson

We are celebrating the launch of our NEW Website on the Podcast with an interview with one of my heroes, Juliet Robertson. Juliet and I sat down virtually in 2020 at the Outdoor Classrooms Summit. She has since graciously agreed to share this conversation again on the Podcast. Juliet's work runs deep for many natural teachers around the world, as her books about her playful approach to outdoor learning for early years children are award winners.

She worked at a national level delivering training, giving keynote speeches, leading and supporting innovative outdoor projects, and writing content for websites, documents, and case studies.
