    Welcome to this episode of "After The Bell’ the podcast from Connex Academy where we dive into the world of education and bring you valuable insights. We are delighted to be joined in this episode by Neil Hopkins and Carol Thompson authors of Reflections on Identity, which was published in January. Neil and Carol are both lecturers at the University of Bedfordshire


    Reflections on Identity brings Educators and leaders from a variety of settings to explore their professional experiences and the impact these have had on forming values in their professional roles.


    The book takes an interesting narrative approach, and this allows a conversation about this topic. Drawing on personal experience, individual chapter authors have considered some of the challenges they have encountered as part of their identity formation.


    It also focuses on the importance of organisational cultures, the impact of frequent changes imposed through government initiatives and the social perception of education professionals when compared to other professional roles.
