Returning to the Classroom after a Significant Break

This week on The Relief Teacher Podcast, we focus on what it’s really like returning to the classroom after a long break from teaching. Many CRTs are surprised by just how much has changed in Victorian schools — from behaviour expectations and wellbeing frameworks to technology, compliance requirements, and classroom practice. In this episode, we unpack the key shifts returning teachers will notice straight away and identify the priority areas to focus on to get back up to speed quickly and confidently. Practical, reassuring, and grounded in today’s school realities, this is an essential listen for any teacher stepping back into the contemporary Victorian classroom.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 Teachers1.1    Physical, social and intellectual development and characteristics of students1.2    Understand how students learn2.1    Content and teaching strategies of the teaching area2.5    Literacy and numeracy strategies2.6    Information and Communication Technology (ICT)3.4    Select and use resources3.5    Use effective classroom communication4.1    Support student participation      4.2    Manage classroom activities4.3    Manage challenging behaviour4.4    Maintain student safety4.5    Use ICT safely, responsibly and ethically7.1    Meet professional ethics and responsibilities7.2    Comply with legislative, administrative and organisational requirementsLooking for work?
