CRTs on an excursion
from The Relief Teacher's Podcast by Tradewind Australia
Relief teachers are often asked to step into excursions with little notice—but the expectations and risks don’t change just because you’re a CRT. In this episode, we unpack what it really means to supervise students beyond the classroom: from understanding duty of care and clarifying roles, to anticipating behaviour challenges in less structured environments. We explore practical strategies to stay proactive, manage risk, and respond confidently when things don’t go to plan. Whether it’s your first excursion or your fiftieth, this conversation will help you stay calm, prepared, and in control.Professional Development OpportunityProfessional learning may include:•seminars, conferences, workshops and online learning•collegiate meetings and professional conversations focused on improving practice and outcomes for learners•participation in education-related boards, committees or panels.This episode focuses on:Australian Professional Standards for TeachersThis episode focuses on:Australian Professional Standards for Teachers3.5 Use effective classroom communication 4.1 Support student participation 4.2 Manage classroom activities 4.3 Manage challenging behaviour 4.4 Maintain student safety 7.1 Meet professional ethics and responsibilities 7.2 Comply with legislative, administrative and organisational requirements 7.3 Engage with the parents/carersLooking for work?
