Self-Care – How are you travelling?

from The Relief Teacher's Podcast by Tradewind Australia

As the term winds down, many CRTs find themselves running on empty - physically, mentally, and emotionally. In this episode, we turn the focus inward, exploring how relief teachers can take stock of their own wellbeing after a demanding stretch in the classroom. We reflect on what’s been working, what’s taken its toll, and how to properly reset during the break. With Term 3 looming as the busiest and often most challenging part of the year, we also look at practical ways to prepare - rebuilding energy, sharpening routines, and setting boundaries that will actually hold. Honest, reflective, and grounded in real experience, this conversation is about finishing the term well and starting the next one ready. 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 Teachers6.1 Identify and plan professional learning needs6.2 Engage in professional learning and improve practice6.3 Engage with colleagues and improve practice7.4 Engage with professional teaching networks and broader communitiesLooking for work?
