The Adventures After Teaching Podcast

Becoming a Specialist Teacher for Inclusive Practice


Listen Later

Join me this week where I’m chatting to Cathie about her empowering secondment into the role of Specialist Teacher for Inclusive Practice with her Local Authority. 

Cathie shares her experience of burnout after 27 years of teaching, and talks of re-discovering her passions in this new role where she’s able to use her transferable coaching and mentoring skills, alongside her extensive knowledge of the education system and inclusion, to reassure and encourage teachers, parents, and children.

In this jam-packed episode, we also explore:

  • Recognising the cycles of burnout
  • Testing your financial baseline
  • Adaptations and gratitude in a new working environment
  • Finding a role that allows you to share your gifts
  • Making your CV feel like ‘you’
  • Connecting at interview with aligned values
  • Getting back her evenings and weekends!
  • Embracing mistakes whilst enjoying the adventure


If you're looking for step-by-step support to find and secure a new job or start your own business, check out the Adventures After Teaching Academy which will help you successfully leave the classroom!
