Teacher's have had a rough couple of years.
From the pandemic shut downs to the post pandemic short staffing and the industrial action that saw thousands take to the streets, there seems to be an endless supply of negative news from the classroom.
But among all that noise there are still incredible people who dedicate their lives to teaching the young minds of Australia all the things they need to arm themselves for leaving school and beyond.
For this year's national teachers day celebrations we speak to Australia's teachers of the year and get some insight on what it really takes to cut it in the classroom.
From the pandemic shutdowns to the post-pandemic staffing issues, and industrial action on our streets - teachers have had a rough couple of years.
Among an endless stream of negative news, there remain masses of incredible people dedicating their lives to classrooms and shaping the minds of young Australians - our future leaders.
After National Teachers Day last week, we're reflecting on what it takes to cut it in the classroom, and speaking to Australia's best and brightest.
