And how powerful it can be to have the right tools to manage all of that.
I can’t help thinking how different things might have felt if I had understood then what I know now.
And that is exactly why I’m working on something new for teachers.
More soon.
Four years ago, I walked away from a career I had given so much to.
I loved teaching. I cared deeply about the children, the staff and the work I was doing. But looking back now, I can see just how much pressure I was carrying without really understanding the impact
it was having on me.
At the time, I thought coping meant pushing through, keeping going and getting on with it.
What I wish I had understood more was mindset.
How much our thoughts can add to overwhelm.
How easily confidence can be chipped away.
How important boundaries are.
Do schools pay a flat rate for supply teachers or does the amount they pay depend on teacher experience? What percentage is then taken from the agency? #edutwitter
