The PDHPE & CAFS Podcast Kelly Bell

In this episode, I share what I would do differently if teaching Community and Family Studies based on my 20+ years of experience.

On this week's episode I wanted to chat about the importance of finding your tribe - your community of fellow teachers who truly get you. As educators, it's so easy to feel isolated, but being part of a supportive community can make all the difference. I'll share about my own experiences feeling alone and how connecting with others has helped me so much.

Episode Highlights:
Feeling like you belong to a group of people who understand your challenges is so important for wellbeing Connecting with other teachers facing similar situations can help you feel less alone Bouncing ideas off others and sharing resources lightens the load and inspires new thinking My community has helped me stay energised and avoid burnout through difficult times ⭐ Enjoying the Podcast?
