Schools are unique ecosystems that, despite their similar structure, each have their own cultural challenges. This talk outlines how we engaged our users (teachers) to design a tool that makes culture visible for all staff. Our product can be used across all schools to empower positive change in their individual settings.

He works with their non-profit initiative, the Quality Teaching Academy, to improve educational outcomes for Australian schools. With a background in data wrangling and visualisation, Tim's interest in data emerged during his previous life as a biomedical researcher, which took him from Newcastle to Germany and the USA. Outside of work, Tim enjoys rock climbing, surfing, and running (after two small children).
