of our previous cohorts would recommend the Thrive Academy to other early career teachers.

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.

This is for you.

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.
