The Preservice Teacher Pals Podcast || Episode 1 || Teach.With.Heart

Hello and welcome to our 1st episode of The Pre-service Teacher Pals Podcast! Created by preservice teachers to get advice from our teaching pals! We aim to engage and create discussions on assisting preservice teachers on their placements and their transition into their 1st year of teaching. 

In this episode, we chat with Isabel Rankin, a UTS Alumni, in her 2nd year of full-time teaching and, also one of the founders of UTS Ed Soc!
