Relief teaching can be incredibly rewarding — but it can also be one of the most challenging roles in education. From constantly adapting to new environments to managing behaviour, building relationships quickly and handling uncertainty, CRTs are often expected to perform under pressure with very little preparation time.In this episode, we explore why relief teaching can feel so difficult, the hidden pressures many CRTs experience and the realities of working across different schools, classrooms and student cohorts.We also discuss strategies for building confidence, developing resilience and recognising the value CRTs bring to schools every day. This episode aims to reassure relief teachers that many of the challenges they face are shared experiences across the profession.Professional Development OpportunityProfessional learning may include:•seminars, conferences, workshops and online learning•collegiate meetings and professional conversations focused on improving practice and outcomes for learners•participation in education-related boards, committees or panels.This episode focuses on:Australian Professional Standards for TeachersThis episode focuses on:Australian Professional Standards for Teachers1.1 Physical, social and intellectual development and characteristics of students1.2 Understand how students learn3.5 Use effective classroom communication4.1 Support student participation4.2 Manage classroom activities4.3 Manage challenging behaviour6.2 Engage in professional learning and improve practice6.3 Engage with colleagues and improve practice7.1 Meet professional ethics and responsibilitiesLooking for work?
