Overview

Starting out in teaching can feel overwhelming - juggling planning, behaviour, and assessment while still trying to find your own identity as an educator. This session introduces practical, research-informed strategies to help early career teachers thrive rather than just survive. Through real classroom examples and stories from leading change in the middle years, the session will show how embedding a low-variance, collaborative approach to curriculum and pedagogy supports both student outcomes and teacher wellbeing. Attendees will leave with: • Practical tools for structuring lessons that engage and support all learners • Daily review activities that strengthen recall, reduce cognitive load, and make checking for understanding simple and effective • Strategies for navigating the early years of teaching with confidence, balance, and resilience This session is designed to empower new teachers with a clear, sustainable approach to teaching that lays the foundation for a rewarding and lasting career.
