This week I’m sharing strategies for busy Community and Family Studies (CAFS) teachers to protect your time and wellbeing during challenging times in the NSW education system. I’m opening up about my own experiences as a former relieving head teacher and encourage you to advocate for yours and your students' needs. Listen in to learn action steps to communicate effectively with school leaders and orchestrate a plan to manage your workload.

Episode HIghlights:

✨ The importance of advocating for your faculty's needs and justifying budget requests to school executives.
✨ The value of initiating open conversations with colleagues to set priorities and boundaries around your workload.
✨ Learn how to translate complex workload requests into realistic time commitments to get approval from principals.
✨ Gain strategies for orchestrating a self-care plan and negotiating professional learning opportunities.
