This week I chat with Gemma Drinkall, an education wellbeing coach. Gemma talks to me about the importance of creating and protecting boundaries as a teacher. We also discuss tokenistic wellbeing practices and attitudes towards teachers and their wellbeing.
In this episode, Gemma shares:
- What an education wellbeing coach is and what they do.
- Why she is so passionate about the wellbeing of teachers.
- Tips for creating those boundaries and sticking to your non-negotiables.
