Staffroom Stories of Australian Teachers Emily Aslin
-
- Education
Take a peek behind the staffroom door at what Australian teachers are talking about, and what they ought to know.
Come for the advice (and sometimes controversy), stay for the lightbulb moments we all treasure in our students but tend to forget about in ourselves.
Aussie teacher Emily picks a topic each episode that has come up in her own staffroom, or in our Facebook communities, and brings experts to the staffroom table to have a chat. Together they shed a light on the things that worry us, anger us, bring us joy, and make us laugh. Teaching is about the kids, but it’s about us teachers too.
In collaboration with the Staffroom Stories blog.
