EDITION #4 – How do we care for each other?
Published – 24th April 2019
“Congratulations on joining the profession and welcome to the wonderful world of teaching. While it’s exciting to begin a new chapter, a new job can be daunting. There’s new information to absorb, new colleagues to get to know and new classroom environments to navigate. Thankfully, a range of support is on offer, from your employer, your school leaders, your colleagues, or organisations like Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL).” Edmund Mission, Acting CEO, AITSL
