  • Essential listening!

    I discovered this podcast in my quest to alleviate the anxiety I was feeling about returning to the classroom after 12 years of full-time parenting. It offers a wealth of knowledge, tips and support from a team of approachable experts. I’m so grateful for this resource, it has definitely helped to quell my nervousness and make me feel prepared to teach again! The fact that it is Australian is the icing on the cake (as a fellow Aussie). Highly recommend for CRTs and new or returning teachers. Tha... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Yesodei HaTorah - Teaching in an Orthodox Jewish School
Q: Are there particular sensitivities around language, behaviour or topics that CRTs should keep in mind if they're going to work here?
Teachers often find our boys are just normal kids and they have the same basics to teach and manage as in any other school, just potentially with a more focused attention on respect and community.
Yesodei HaTorah - Teaching in an Orthodox Jewish School
Q: What tends to be the curriculum foci here at this school?
Maths tends to be adored at this school, alongside English, humanities, science, and legal studies officiating a broad range of subjects at VCE level.
Yesodei HaTorah - Teaching in an Orthodox Jewish School
Q: What are key strategies that you use here in managing behaviour and also promoting student wellbeing?
It's about supporting the teacher and understanding that a teacher, especially a CRT, needs to have respect straight away. I meet the CRT downstairs and give them a tour of the school, showing support and understanding.
How to Assess a School: What School is Right for You?
Q: What are some of the questions that you might think about asking at an interview that will give you a little bit more insight into what the school is like?
I think I'd like to know how the community around the school space is involved, how the school fits in with the community and what sort of things occur there, and about extracurricular things that you could get involved with as well.
