What the Family Studies?

Welcome to our What the Family Studies? podcast, here to help family studies educators create engaging and valuable learning experiences for their students that will last a lifetime. We will interview those who are passionate about family studies education. Some weeks we will interview a current teacher or professional working in the field who will share their real experiences, insights, and strategies for successful delivery of family studies curriculum. We also want to focus some of our time on your wellness. The last couple of years have been so stressful and your wellness is so important. While we are based in Ontario, we are sure that our podcast will prove helpful and entertaining to teachers in other places too.

Catherine Murphy

I’m Catherine Murphy. After a brief career in radio broadcasting, I decided teaching was the career I really wanted to pursue and graduated from York University’s Faculty of Education in 2004. Since then, I’ve been teaching History, Social Sciences, and of course, Family Studies at the high school level in Durham Region. Sure, I may be an experienced teacher, but I still have a lot to learn when it comes to navigating this amazing career.
