In this episode, I chat with Sarah, an inspiring educator who has spent over 15 years balancing her passion for teaching with family life. Sarah’s journey took her from a sports-oriented education to various leadership roles, including acting deputy principal. She shares valuable insights into the significance of working with intermediate-aged students, the impact of extra-curricular activities on skill development, and the importance of embracing new roles to enhance both personal and professional growth.
Sarah also discusses how she manages the delicate balance between her career and family, offering practical tips on staying organised and managing stress. Drawing from her own experiences as a parent, she emphasises the importance of empathy and understanding in teaching. Through her story, Sarah inspires educators to embrace opportunities, maintain balance, and strive for connection with their students and themselves.
