Big Ideas in Education

Welcome to Big Ideas in Education. I’m Deborah McCallum—an educator, consultant, psychometrist, Literacy Lecturer, and doctorate student in school psychology. With over 23 years of experience as a teacher, librarian, special education facilitator, literacy consultant, and lecturer, I’ve dedicated my career to understanding how students learn and how educators can best support them. I aim to bridge research, practice, and policy to empower educators to best support student learning and development.
