Having left full time teaching 10 years ago, Mark reflects on what lead to the decision and how he was been able to keep connected with teaching through his various creative projects, sharing his passion for and proficiency with both the spoken and written word.
We talk about rapping and rap culture and how it can influence society in an inclusive, positive and affirming way as well as looking at some of the counter arguments surrounding that.
Mark talks with vitality, humility and humour and connects a lot of his experiences to how they have the capacity to promote student wellbeing, develop their knowledge and enable them take risks with creativity.
