[*Change Starts Here](https://marketscale.com/shows/change-starts-here/) and host [Dustin Odham](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dustin-odham-419574b/), Thought Leader for [FranklinCovey Education](https://www.franklincovey.com/solutions/education/), are back with another thought-provoking and inspiring episode – this time featuring a bona fide legend in the field of education.*

[Dr. Christine Rubie-Davies ](https://unidirectory.auckland.ac.nz/profile/c-rubie)– though she prefers to drop the titles and go by Christine – has spent decades immersed in the world of education and has led the conversation surrounding teacher expectations and their impact on learning, teacher-student relationships and more.

She began her career with more than two decades of work in primary school education, then transitioned to a role at New Zealand’s [University of Auckland](https://www.auckland.ac.nz/en.html), where she currently serves as a professor in the School of Learning, Development and Professional Practice.

Taking a cue from past Change Starts Here guest Brad Montague, who prefers to ask people what they love about what they do rather than what they do for a living, Odham posed the same question to Rubie-Davies.

“The reason I love what I do is I get to make a difference for kids, still,” she said. “When I went into teaching, that was always my major goal. I wanted to make a difference for every kid in my class, every year.”

Odham and Rubie-Davies dove into how she’s making that happen with research into teacher expectations and their impact on students and more.
