Flash back to episode 5 of this teacher podcast and the first episode that really struck a chord with many was our toxic schools podcast.

We asked listeners for their most TOXIC school stories ever and we received nearly 1000.

We trawled through them all and picked out the most shocking and have put them together for you.

Let us know what you think & if you have your own story, get in touch!

Ever since our first chat with Charlie Burley (The Teachers' Health Coach), we've been itching to get back for another conversation about food.

Teachers know how tricky improving our relationship with food is when working in such a high-stress environment.

From battling self-worth to the latest diet fads, we chat about realistic goals and things we can action immediately to improve our lifestyles.

This week, we chat about the apparent disconnect between what class teachers and leadership believe should be a school's top priority - behaviour or adaptive teaching...?

Joining us with heaps of data is the brilliant Gráinne Hallahan from Teacher Tapp to talk us through what educators say!

It's not the most interesting or riveting read, but many teachers simply are not aware what is in the School Teachers Pay and Conditions Document and this leads to many teachers not knowing their rights.

Whether it's directed time, additional word, PPA arrangements, TLR payments or just wellbeing in general, in this episode we read you word for word what the document outlines should be given to teachers, give our interpretation & hopefully empower you to know what should and should not be expected of you at work.

Please share this with any teacher you know!

This episode was inspired by a recent string of not-so-nice comments on social media from people who clearly have something against teachers... So we wondered... Why?! Who are the main groups? Where do they get their ideas from? & why are the minority of people always the loudest?!
