Overview

My name is Tim Cavey. I’m an educator and administrator in Vancouver, BC, Canada. My mission is to create education content that will warm your heart, spark your thinking, and ignite your professional practice. Join me, and let's learn together! My MEdL program re-invigorated my passion for education. Favorite education topics include the 5Cs, design thinking, growth mindset, inquiry, PBL, visible learning, and strategic uses of technology in education. My Mission (The HOW) Enter the Teachers on Fire podcast, where I profile agents of growth and transformation in K-12 education. Each week, I chat with inspiring educators to bring you their highs and lows, passions and goals, and the voices and influences that are sparking their thinking and igniting their practice. I launched the podcast in March of 2018 without knowing much about the technical side of this passion project. Growth has been slow but steady, and the reach of the show continues to build month after month. As I continue to learn, improve, and connect with other educators, it’s been a pleasure to play a small part in professional learning across North America and the world. My Vision (The WHY) We live in an age of phenomenal opportunities for content creation. We can all write, record audio, or produce video content and share it with the world using nothing more than our smartphones. As lifelong learners, we are never more engaged and thoughtful than when we are creating. As educators, I believe we should be leading the charge on content creation by modeling a lifestyle of Create> Consume. The Teachers on Fire podcast is one expression of that intention. My vision was and continues to be the contribution of important conversations that spark thinking and ignite innovative practices by educators around the globe. As you’ll see if you explore my Tributes page, I’m pleased to say that the show is already making a positive impact.
