Working in Specialist Settings - Jacana School for Autism

Many relief teachers are hesitant to work in specialist settings, not due to a lack of interest or care, but often because they are uncertain about the specific requirements. However, teachers who do work in these environments frequently return, finding the experience incredibly rewarding. In this episode, the podcast team visits Jacana School for Autism and interviews a leading teacher with the goal of demystifying the environment and encouraging educators to consider roles in specialist schools. If you've ever thought about teaching in an alternative setting but are unsure what to expect, this episode is ideal for you.
