In this episode, I'm sharing 20 teaching tips from my 20 years of experience as a PDHPE & CAFS teacher. I'm also opening up about the importance of building relationships with students, establishing consistency, focusing on skills over content, collaborating with colleagues, and prioritsing self-care.
Episode Highlights:
- Build relationships with students from day one to increase engagement and motivation - Establish consistent routines, structures and expectations in your classroom
- Focus lessons on developing skills like writing, collaboration and critical thinking over content delivery
- Collaborate and share resources with other teachers instead of working in isolation
- Advocate for yourself and don't be afraid to say no to additional responsibilities
- Make time for self-care activities like exercise, sleep and switching off from work
