Previous interviews published in Kairaranga have given insight into the experiences, memories and stories of the founding editors of this journal along with well-known educational leaders; people whose research or work has shaped educational practices at local, national and international levels. However, a community of practice also consists o quiet leaders, who through their daily interactions and activities also help to shape the practice of others. This is an interview with Pat Caswell, a physiotherapist and one of the quietly achieving practitioners who works every day with children and young people, their families and whanau, schools and wider teams. Pat has both infuenced and been influenced by her experiences in education.
