This week on The Relief Teacher Podcast, we focus on what it’s really like returning to the classroom after a long break from teaching.
Many CRTs are surprised by just how much has changed in Victorian schools — from behaviour expectations and wellbeing frameworks to technology, compliance requirements, and classroom practice.
In this episode, we unpack the key shifts returning teachers will notice straight away and identify the priority areas to focus on to get back up to speed quickly and confidently. Practical, reassuring, and grounded in today’s school realities, this is an essential listen for any teacher stepping back into the contemporary Victorian classroom.
