Teach Sleep Repeat

Join us on our second BITESIZE episode where we talk through the completely serious and real TOP 5 ways to boost teacher wellbeing in school! Each of these 5 steps have been meticulously crafted and thought through. This definitive list is absolutely real and definitely not a made up section to parody absolutely crazy ways some schools treat staff. In completely unrelated news that has nothing to do with today’s content, we are pleased to be sponsored by TOXIC SCHOOLS! (we only broke character about 5 times!)

Welcome to the first in our new side-series - "Teach Sleep Repeat: Bitesize!" Most Mondays, we will top up your feed with a short episode. It could be anything... but it won't be long! We kick off with a Q&A special. There's not much we don't know about each other, but we found some bits! Let us know what you think. Instagram: @teachsleeprepeatpodcast

Toxic schools. If you don't work in one, then you've definitely at least heard the horror stories. Teaching is a job full of stress. Poor leadership, micro-managing and embedded expectations to sink massive amount of your own time just make things worse. In this episode, we reflect on some real-life examples of how schools become toxic, what a bad culture looks like, and how choices at the top trickle down to stress at the bottom. In an attempt to not be doom and gloom, we then talk about exactly what can be done to fix it! What does an excellent and wellbeing proud school look like? What is it like on the side with the greener grass? We hope you enjoy it. Please get in touch if anything we talked about today hit home. We'd love to hear from you.

Welcome back! It's been an extremely eventful couple of weeks. Dylan became a dad! And Hayden is not far behind... We also had OFSTED in this week, and they deep dived our subject: maths. We'll be going into a lot more detail on this in a future episode, so stick around! I think it's safe to say we lose the plot in this episode. Dylan's childhood tales have Hayden pretty much in tears of laughter. Thank you for listening and hope you enjoy!

Join us for a particularly special episode in which we share some awesome news with you: our much-loved customers! I mean audience... Besides our BIG ANNOUNCEMENTS, we get weirdly deep and discuss self-diagnoses, religion and perform impressions of the Tasmanian Devil... I'm not sure what to say really. It's an odd one. Hopefully by the end you'll understand exactly why! We also host a Q&A section and answer some of the questions that you've written in. So if you want to hear more about Hayden's haircare routine, stay tuned for that part. Thank you for listening and hope you enjoy!

We all remember our favourite teaching assistants from when we went to school. They are the glue that holds things together and are an amazing support system not only for students, but teachers too. We talk about the role, how it’s being squeezed, and the slow transformation of the role into something that is paid extremely little but with more and more responsibility piled on. We also have a few messages to chat about from you lovely listeners and catch up on our week! Thank you for listening and hope you enjoy!

Helllllloooooooo again and welcome back to another episode of Teach, Sleep, Repeat! We are keeping the face-to-face podcasts AND we genuinely think this is one of our funniest episodes yet. Get ready for a whirlwind tour of Hayden's latest stag do adventures, Dylan's Harvest Festival song game (pure laughter) and our good old chat answering the question posed in the title of this podcast.... What is the point of marking? It's time consuming. It's not very helpful. Why do we continue to think it's important? We hope you enjoy the episode. Please do give us a 5-star review and follow us.
