November 6, 2022 in Beginner Teachers Start Here, Guest Posts, PD, Pedagogy, Podcast - No Comments

This is part three in a three part mini-series exploring my unconventional takeaways from the RELIT2022 cup-filling day!

This conversation is for every teacher who has toyed with the idea that perhaps they’re not as happy as they’d like with their teaching. I don’t mean all the *extra* we’re dealing with, but deep down within your core.

Perhaps you need clarity and validation that teaching is absolutely still your thing. Perhaps you are on the fence. Perhaps you’re ready to get out. No matter where you sit, this one is for you!
