I have been reading your blogs off the link you posted on linkedin. There is plenty of wonderful material there that you could expand upon and turn into a book.

A great read for all teachers and school leaders! Let’s make sure we support all our beginning and new teachers to our schools as we start another year!

This was a wonderful read. Thank you. I’m a couple of years off graduating but even for pre-service placements this is useful.

Thank you And thanks so much for the group! As a pandemic graduated who started her career in remote learning, this helped me feel connected to the industry. I get a lot out of it.

I finished by Masters this July, haven’t found a job yet. But I am already worried about ‘where to begin’, when I find a job. I am grateful I have you guys.

I like this group because it’s designed specifically for early career teachers. I feel like I can contribute to discussions more compared to other pages due to only being pre-service.
It’s also given me great ideas to use on prac.

You have helped me look at my situation from an alternative perspective. I think it is really easy to get caught up on the things that worry us and sometimes we need someone to point out all the positive aspects.
