Sectors
Phoebe is a qualified teacher working in a primary school in intervention. Teaching has been a long-term career of choice, due to teacher role models in her own educational journey.
Phoebe did struggle academically at times at school and with a disability, but these factors became a driving force to succeed.
Phoebe has had some doubts, but these are linked to wanting to be great at her job, and she believes that if she is asking these self-reflective questions she cares about the role and the work she does as a teacher for her own pupils. To be self-reflective is an important thing to do, to help to make improvements.
The best advice Phoebe can give to someone is that no matter how hard it seems, always believe in yourself, be kind to yourself. Take time in tough moments to reflect on how far you have come and think about what your younger self would say to you, use this to push forward.
