The Game Changers podcast celebrates those true pioneers in education who are building schools for tomorrow. In the eighth episode of the third series of the Game Changers podcast, we talk with Yasodai Selvakumaran, Teacher Ambassador for the New South Wales Department of Education and Relieving Head Teacher Professional Practice and Humanities Teacher at Rooty Hill High School in Sydney’s West. In 2019, Yasodai was a top ten finalist for the Varkey Foundation's $1 million Global Teacher Prize. She was recently awarded an Honorary Fellowship from Western Sydney University for a "sustained and significant contribution to Education in Western Sydney". Additionally, Yasodai was recognised as one of 30 rising stars under the age of 35 in Australian education by The Educator Australia magazine. In this episode, Yasodai speaks about the joy of education, the importance of humour in the classroom, and teaching students to thrive past what may be expected of them.
