Teachers supporting teachers
Series 2, Episode 2 - Safe spaces, vulnerability and connections
Welcome to Series 2 Episode 2 where I talk with Alli Williamson co-founder of the Education Lab at Michelle McQuaid Pty Ltd and founder of Optima Performance Coaching located in the state of Tasmania, Australia. Alli and I talk about a recent research project where data uncovered some very interesting insights into teacher wellbeing in regard to feeling safe to share work stress. In this episode we unpack this data and talk about it in relation to finding space and the right people to be open with while expressing a level of vulnerability that can support the individual but all of us.

Top tips for why should pre-service teachers and beginning teachers should focus on their wellbeing.
