How to thrive as a student-teacher

The guest on this week's episode of 'Beyond Survival: the new teacher podcast'  is Shannon Docherty. Shannon completed her PGDE (post graduate diploma in education) last year. This is the teacher-training year in Scotland.

In this interview she shares some brilliant tips on how you can thrive and succeed in this challenging year learning to be a teacher.

She answers the following questions:

1. What do you enjoy most about your PGDE?
2. What did you find most challenging? 
3. What tips would you give to someone about to start their PGDE in August/September? 
4. What helped you to manage your own well-being during your year? 
5. Any final advice for someone starting a PGDE? 

I hope you really enjoy the episode.  Please do pass it on to other teachers if you did find it useful.
