Starting out in teaching is exciting, but let’s be real, it can also feel completely overwhelming. That’s why we’ve teamed up with six amazing educators to share the advice they wish they knew when they first stepped into the classroom.

This episode is full of heartfelt, practical, and encouraging tips to remind you that you’re not alone and that teaching is a journey - not a race. Whether you’re just starting out or supporting new teachers in your school, you’ll find wisdom here to guide and inspire.

Our incredible contributors share:

  • Bridget Canty – Why it’s ok to stop, reteach, and take the pressure off yourself
  • Jessica Werner – The importance of guilt-free time for yourself and your passions
  • Jo Edgar – How to set up your teacher planner as your ultimate hub of organisation

Rainbows ahead,
