Mara has over 25 years of experience in education and now 10 years experience as a mom. She and her business partner, Rajashree Anand have founded EduMenTeach to help support teaching and learning in a variety of ways. This course specifically taps their expertise from their experience teaching training teachers for the Post 16 sector in the UK. Many of their trainees had to engage with employers as part of their own curriculum and often times employers were challenged when coming into the college or secondary setting. The teachers had little time to support the employers and employers felt a bit challenged in these settings with Gen Z prevailing. Mara from her past experience as a school head and Rajashree from her past experience in the international setting have designed this course to be a bridge to help support a more positive employer engagement experience to overall improve school-work relations. Mara has had success leading this course and those who have engaged felt more confident in their future school experiences.
