Listen "How to Find the Right School 'Fit'"
Episode Synopsis
Today, I'm diving into how to find a school that truly matches your philosophy on non-punitive, trauma-informed practices. If you want to work somewhere that values real student and teacher wellbeing, but don't know where to start, this one's for you. Here's what you'll learn How to use CRT (Casual Relief Teaching) as a way to 'test drive' a school's culture before committing long-term. Why the right leadership and wellbeing focus are essential in creating a school environment that truly supports teachers and students. What key questions to ask and what to look for in a school's values, social media, and programs to ensure they align with a non-punitive, trauma-informed approach. How to leverage word of mouth and intuition to gather insights on a school, while avoiding common biases and misconceptions. Why it's okay to prioritise your own wellbeing over job security when choosing a school environment that aligns with your values. Why its okay to switch schools if it doesn't align with your values. Resources for you: The RCG (Regulate, Connect, Guide) Framework is designed to help parents, educators, and leaders effectively support children during and after big emotions.
