SUMMER REPLAY 2023 It's just a job with Debs

<p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p></p><p>As always, let me know what you think on social media - I'm @katelanguages on Instagram and Facebook or email me through my website <a href="http://katelanguages.co.uk">katelanguages.co.uk</a></p><p></p><p>Music is from Pixabay by Coma-Media</p>
