    You are more than your Grade

    You've survived prac. Maybe more than one. But how do you actually know if you're getting better? In this solo episode, Kerri unpacks what your grade does and doesn't tell you, and offers a set of real, ungradeable indicators of progress — from how you recover when a lesson goes wrong, to the moment a student says hello to you at recess.

    It's exhausting, and you're only half way through!

    The midpoint of a teaching placement is where the gloss wears off. The first-week adrenaline is gone, the mentor's feedback is landing harder, and the finish line still feels a long way off. In this episode we talk about what's actually happening at the halfway mark — why the dip is normal, what it means about your progress (usually the opposite of what you fear), and the practical moves that get you to the end of placement stronger than you started.  For prac students and early career teachers.

    You don't have to know everything (Yet)

    In this episode, I speak with Brad, a mature-aged teacher who came to the profession after working in other roles within schools. We talk about the importance of building rapport with students, making learning relevant, and remembering that as a prac student you are not expected to know everything straight away. Brad also reflects on the value of experience, confidence, and staying focused on relationships in the classroom.
