SUMMER REPLAY 2023 It's just a job with Debs

Welcome to my summer 2023 replay series! This summer, I'm re-releasing some of my favourite ever podcast episodes that I think are well worth a re-listen.The second episode in the summer replay series is a conversation I had with Deborah Young back in October 2022 about managing your workload and remembering that teaching is just a job and shouldn't take over your whole life.From teacher workload, to building great relationships with students, to accidentally teaching the wrong vocabulary items (this anecdote actually had me crying with laughter), in the original episode, Debs and I discussed all the important bits of work-life balance.The title of the episode "it's just a job" is something she said to me all those years ago and is not meant to be a flippant dismissal of the importance of being a teacher... quite the opposite! It's a positive statement for teachers to understand that teaching, while being an extremely important job, is, at the end of the day, just a job and not worth sacrificing your entire life and health for.I spoke to Debs for my first ever live podcast episode as well - Teaching through the menopause, season 4 episode 3 - which is also well worth a listen, if you haven't already.As always, let me know what you think on social media - I'm @katelanguages on Instagram and Facebook or email me through my website katelanguages.co.ukMusic is from Pixabay by Coma-Media
