Thrive in Your First Five

Are you a School Leader looking to support your new teachers to thrive?

Are you an Early Career Teacher in your First Five Years in the Profession?

This is for you.

Thrive is a Group Coaching Forum for early career teachers to help them move beyond merely surviving in their first five years towards really thriving and making their careers productive, enjoyable and sustainable.

This information is for those who would like to join or host one of our Hubs.

If you would like to discuss a face-to-face program run in-house at your school please contact us.

Working as part of this cohort has helped me realise I am not alone in my anxieties of becoming a new teacher. To ensure my students receive quality teaching I need to be the best person I can be.

I’ve learned strategies to look after myself so when I am in the classroom I am not mentally exhausted and can be a better teacher for my students.

It's useful to have a network of early career teachers supporting each other and working with evidence-based strategies and reflecting on the challenges of being a beginning teacher.

I am thinking differently about how I manage my emotions, opening up to people I work with and asking for help. I am thinking more about how to motivate students.

Having worked with hundreds of Early Career Teachers over the past few years, we understand the major challenges that lead to as many as 50% of our new teachers leaving the profession in their first five years.

We have developed Thrive in Your First Five to address these challenges and empower Early Career Teachers to thrive.
