I've had a bunch of close friends leave teaching and start working in the private sector. Without fail, every single one of them says they are less stressed, their work/life balance is better, and their mental health is better, even though some are making less money.

@Dawn83204931 @MrTs_NQTs •Finally, know when to say no and when to call it a night. Don’t be afraid to improvise for the odd lesson/ have a lesson from the textbooks every now and again. Wishing you the best with the rest of your ECT x

@Dawn83204931 @MrTs_NQTs I kept that up for two years before having a meltdown about stress. I still haven’t got it perfect but some ways I’ve found to help cut down time:

@Dawn83204931 @MrTs_NQTs • If you haven’t already, make use of twinkl and TES resources. Even if it’s just to get ideas for a task or for a good worksheet. There are some great shared resources out there.

[Miss J Atherton @MissAthoScience]

@Dawn83204931 @MrTs_NQTs •Don’t be afraid to ask for resources from more experienced teachers! It took me a while to do this because I wanted to look on top of things but it was a massive help when I did and everyone was more than happy to share

[Miss J Atherton @MissAthoScience]

@Dawn83204931 @MrTs_NQTs •Also to save time marking, I have a feedback form with differentiated questions that link to the topics in each end of topic test so that I can print it in red ink and then the students can write their own feedback as you go through the markscheme in class

[Miss J Atherton @MissAthoScience]

@Dawn83204931 @MrTs_NQTs •Set yourself a timer for marking books. I allow myself 3 minutes per book and have a set differentiated questions for each topic that I can pull from so that I’m keeping my marking in-line with policy.
