In each episode, we explore the triumphs and challenges faced by new teachers, offering practical advice, inspirational and relatable stories, and expert insights to help you thrive in your classroom.

The University of Worcester is one of the UK's biggest educators of teachers and has been praised as 'exceptional' and rated 'Outstanding' by a large team of Ofsted inspectors, and this is your chance to tap into the expertise of the University's Institute of Education.

In this podcast, we're going to explore a range of topics tailored specifically for early career teachers, looking at classroom management strategies, behaviour, supporting pupils with special educational needs, lesson planning, and so much more.

• Episode 1 - Your Induction
  Making the most of those first two years as a teacher. Join Andy and Justyn as they talk asking for help, volunteering for additional duties and learning from the teachers around you.
• Episode 2 - Behaviour
  We’re talking about managing behaviours in the classroom, setting expectations, and helping your pupils meet them. Our experts look back on their first terms and give practical advice on how to get the atmosphere you want in your classroom.
• Episode 3 - Early Years
  In early years, you’re one of the first experiences a pupil has with formal education, and you put pressure on yourself to get it right! Our early years specialist talks about how to build relationships with pupils and their families, and how to develop yourself as a teacher.
• Episode 4 - Developing Confidence
  You want your pupils to be confident, resilient and resourceful… but you’ll need those attributes too! Andy Hale has 30 years of experience in primary schools and has real advice for you on how to make the most of your triumphs, and build your own resilience when you feel like you could use a ‘pick me up’.
