Episode 6 - How do life-friendly schools lead to happy teachers?

This week we discuss with our first guest (!) How do life-friendly schools lead to happy teachers? Welcome to Emma Sheppard, founding director of the Maternity Teacher Paternity Teacher Project, the UK’s only parent teacher charity. I have the honour of being Policy Officer for this charity so it’s very close to my heart. It provides support for pregnant and expectant staff, networking, coaching and professional development during parental leave, return to work workshops and coaching, as well as a focus on how to create family-friendly schools and how to make teaching a sustainable career choice.

Emma provides this week’s Break-time Banter, where we discuss naming our own children and how hard that decision is as a teacher.
