Summary

Finding a Voiceis devoted primarily to people learning to teach who are writing for other newly qualified teachers. It is all about showing that others have had similar experiences and survived. Student teachers will be able to relate to the stories of their peers, which will provide the support and encouragement they need to pass on to their own students.
