Teaching For Dummies

Brett and special guest Kate recap 2020 in a very cathartic release. We discuss the intriguing, enjoyable and confounding things we experienced during Remote & Flexible Learning, and share our experiences of applying for jobs in the Term 4 'Teacher Draft Season'.

Brett invites special guests Elizabeth Carr and Sam Reynolds along to share their stories about the nuanced art of teaching Performing Arts in Primary Schools. Elizabeth and Sam share their stories about what their school chose to do during the Term 2 and Term 3 Remote & Flexible Learning periods, and how working remotely affected their ability to teach their subject. This one is a real eye-opener! Enjoy! Also, we LOVE hearing all your weird and interesting tales! Please submit your anonymous story using this form: https://forms.gle/A9kRsgJGpFEFDKwU6 Thank you!
