You’re feeling that "practice shock" and want to just go home and forget about teaching. a Go home and dwell on it alone, letting the stress build up for tomorrow. b Spend 5 minutes on the internal SharePoint "PST Hub" to unpack these feelings before tomorrow. c 9 It’s June, and Semester 1 reports are due. You’re staring at 25 blank comment boxes for your class, and the sheer scale of the 22-hectare campus feels like it’s closing in on you. You feel paralyzed by the workload. a Cancel all your social plans and stay at school until 7:00 PM every night to "power through" alone. b Message the other ACU PSTs on the SharePoint to organize a "Co-Working Session" in the staffroom. c 10 You have your first-ever parent-teacher interviews tonight.
