Teaching is one of the most rewarding careers and any experienced practitioner can describe those ‘golden moments’ where their sheer hard work, persistence and drive has helped learners realise their potential and achieve their goals. All of this endeavour and energy expended can come at a cost to teachers who dedicate many hours of their week focused on a range of roles and responsibilities. It is essential all teachers prepare themselves and embrace an attitude where resilience positivity can overcome a daunting work load.
