I absolutely loved delivering my Ready, Steady… Teach! wellbeing workshop to a brand-new cohort of primary and secondary trainee teachers.
There’s something pretty special about meeting people at the very beginning of their teaching journey before the classrooms, lesson plans, observations and inevitable never-ending to-do lists really begin!
My focus was simple - how do we stay well enough to do the job well?
Together we explored stress, boundaries, procrastination and burnout, alongside the importance of sleep, exercise, switching off and protecting the things outside of teaching that make us us.
Because there will ALWAYS be another email to answer, lesson to tweak or job to tick off.
Looking after yourself isn't about caring less about your job. It helps you keep doing the job you care about.
Good luck, Class of 2027.
