This podcast looks to explore the experiences of international teachers from all over the world and brought together by the University of Sunderland’s International Initial Teacher Training programmes.
Olena Puchko is a Maths teacher with over two decades of experience teaching in Kyiv, Ukraine, but none of that experience could prepare her for the past 3 years. Olena completed her PGCE with the University of Sunderland in 2023, at the height of Russia's drone and missile attacks on Ukraine and her commitment to her studies and her students was nothing short of inspirational.
In this episode, Olena shares stories of teaching in a bomb shelter, managing student exams whilst neighbouring buildings are brought to the ground, and overcoming the struggles of technology with laughter and community spirit.
