Today, I’m diving into how to find a school that truly matches your philosophy on non-punitive, trauma-informed practices. If you want to work somewhere that values real student and teacher wellbeing, but don’t know where to start, this one’s for you.

Here’s what you’ll learn

• How to use CRT (Casual Relief Teaching) as a way to ‘test drive’ a school’s culture before committing long-term.
• Why the right leadership and wellbeing focus are essential in creating a school environment that truly supports teachers and students.
• What key questions to ask and what to look for in a school’s values, social media, and programs to ensure they align with a non-punitive, trauma-informed approach.
• How to leverage word of mouth and intuition to gather insights on a school, while avoiding common biases and misconceptions.
• Why it’s okay to prioritise your own wellbeing over job security when choosing a school environment that aligns with your values.
• Why its okay to switch schools if it doesn’t align with your values.
