In this inaugural episode, Craig and Dave introduce themselves — not just as the faces behind the videos and resources, but as two experienced educators with a deep love for teaching and learning.
They reflect on their journey from classroom teachers to national influencers in computer science education, explain the real reason for launching _At the Chalk Face_, and share what listeners can expect from future episodes.
Whether you’re in a grammar school, comprehensive, or somewhere in between, this episode sets the tone for a podcast rooted in real teaching experience, honest reflection, and evidence-informed practice.
