Shifts Happen
Every year, thousands of Canadian teachers make a shift—either moving to a new grade, a new school or both. Sometimes they choose to make the shift and sometimes the change is owing to factors outside their control. But whether chosen or not, most know that the shift will require new learning and new approaches. This is Shifts Happen—a summer podcast series dedicated to the teachers who are making a change in September. In these conversations, you’ll hear from educators who have experienced change in their own careers and those who are preparing to make a shift in the new future. We all know that Shifts Happens; let’s explore what we can learn in the process!
