Hey there, let's kick things off with a couple of quick updates:
Firstly, I've got some exciting news to share – Substack has introduced a referral program, and I thought, 'Why not give it a shot?'
Right now, here's how it works:
Get 2 of your pals on board, and you'll get a shout-out in the next newsletter linking our readership to your socials and sites.
Rally up 10, and you're in for a fantastic 50% discount code for my online store! And for our true champions who manage to bring in 20, you'll enjoy a free invitation to a professional development webinar led by me along with other subscribers of this community.
All you have to do is share this post and refer a friend or colleague.
Secondly, substack has an app, and it is really great for you to read, download and listen to content. Not only from here but check out some other incredible writers on the platform. The app is free and easy to sign-up. There is also a live chat available for our community should you like to discuss and share ideas with other members from here.
Right, now let’s get into the podcast episode… I know you are going to love it!

🎙️The Inquiry Teacher Podcast
Greetings, dear friends!
I'm delighted to present the latest episode of 'The Inquiry Teacher' podcast, and it's been eagerly anticipated. I'm confident that you're in for an enlightening experience.
In this episode, I have an enlightening conversation with Mike Rutherford, the brilliant mind behind "Growth Over Time," a transformative learning platform designed for both students and educators. Mike's journey in education is nothing short of extraordinary, as he's worn multiple hats throughout his career, including student, teacher in middle and high school, librarian, K-12 technology professional developer, school district EdTech director, K-12 industry consultant, business development expert in educational publishing and professional development.
What makes Mike's story even more fascinating is his return to the classroom after founding "Growth Over Time Learning" (GotLearning) in 2020. Drawing from his extensive teaching experience, he developed innovative software to enrich learning conversations within his own middle school classroom. Today, he continues to make a direct impact on students' lives by teaching English Language Arts at a local middle school.
Tune in as we delve into Mike's remarkable journey, the philosophy behind "Growth Over Time," and the profound insights he's gained from his diverse roles in education. Get ready to be inspired by this dedicated educator and visionary entrepreneur!
