Donโt quite know how to feel, what to do or how to react! My wellbeing is all over the place. Today has been the worst day, I will never forget being an #NQT ! Keep strong, stay positive and do all you can to continue helping your children in a new way #teacher#education ๐ฉ๐ผโ๐ซ
Week 5 of term and only this evening I vaguely feel human again! The work/ life balance has not existed - leave the house at 7.15, home by 6.30 and asleep by 9! Very slowly everything is slotting back into place, my love for teaching is returning and I can get through a week! ๐ฉ๐ผโ๐ซ
@NQTMissL Wow thatโs intense! I really donโt mind being observed, Iโve had so many Iโm used to people being in and out of my classroom but itโs nice to sometimes be left alone ๐๐ผ
@NQTMissL I think for those teachers who need more support will do great with the extended period but for those who are going to excel itโs an additional year of being observed!
@NQTMissL Wow, that is awful. I hope youโre okay. Iโm always happy to step up and help but sometimes we need a little support, I hope you have someone at work you can talk to. Iโve got to write reports (due a week today), plan for my class at home and my group in school!
@NQTMissL Feeling exactly the same. Had a day off today as some personal things needed sorting, now canโt sleep because of my pending to do list. Ridiculous workload at the moment and insane deadlines ๐ญ doing 3 jobs at the moment and still expected to complete in my normal hours! ๐ค
Most of my class havenโt seen me for nearly 10 weeks now. So today I wrote them a poem and sent it to them with a photo of me and my dog. I hope this brings a smile to their faces!
@miss_conroy_lma My scrapbook has arrived and over the next few weeks Iโm going to begin collating all the lovely things. Itโs crazy how 1 bad thing can get you down and all the positives are ignored!!
Advice needed .. as a teacher I really struggle to not take parent comments to heart, I feel personally attacked ๐! Is this an NQT problem that improves with years or always a battle? How do you manage to brush past negative parent comments? #NQT
@Baritonedeaf2@CensoredHead That is my focus for the foreseeable future .. I am going to try not dwelling on the negative and switch it to a positive (if I can) or look at the positive of each day!!! Thank you ๐
@CensoredHead Thank you for you supportive words, I am glad itโs not just me. You are very true, this job is a huge part of who I am and I do take things personally because I just want to be the best teacher possible. I will begin to look at the positive notes and think about them more ๐๐ผ
@MissBeale11 Thank you so much for the advice. I have just ordered a scrapbook and will spend this time looking through and saving all my lovely comments and cards. ๐๐ผ๐ฅฐ
