The microphones are on and the cameras are rolling.

Tune in to Episode 1 of the Teach NSW Podcast to meet our dynamic teacher co-hosts, Shannon and Siobhan, as they share their own teaching journeys.

Shannon is a primary school teacher with experience teaching high-potential and gifted students, who loves nothing more than design thinking and project-based learning. Siobhan brings the perspective of a high school teacher, trained in English and society and culture, and just wait until you hear her Sonic birthday story. Queue tears.

Most importantly in this episode, you will find out more about the ‘why’ behind the Teach NSW Podcast.

The podcast was designed to inspire listeners with stories of daily difference making in NSW public schools. If you’re a future teacher considering a career in teaching, a pre-service teacher studying an initial teacher education degree or an early career teacher still finding your feet in the classroom, this podcast is for you.

We spill the tea on some of the topics and exceptional guests coming up in Season 1, spanning from pre-service teachers to those with over 20-years’ experience. 

This season, we explore themes including support for beginning teachers, accreditation processes, classroom management, mentorship, career-enhancing opportunities and much more.

Will we go beyond lesson and curriculum planning to talk about the heart of teaching, making genuine connections with students? Yes.

Will it feel like a friendly lunch time chat with your colleagues in the staffroom? Absolutely.

We hope you’ll enjoy coming on this journey with us.

We acknowledge that this episode of the Teach NSW Podcast was recorded on the homelands of the Darug people. We pay respect to Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples listening to the Teach NSW Podcast today.
