So it’s been weeks since I’ve been in the classroom (signed off with PTSD and depression) and I know I’m leaving teaching (for now) at the end of this year
BUT there’s still 8 weeks left and idk how to get though it (I’ll have to go back bc finances).. advice/encouragement pls?
I’ve been off work all week and I’ve felt so guilty and missed my kids so much, heartwarming to go on DoJo and see a few messages like this to really cheer me up
Finding out my landlord is increasing rent AGAIN…
This time last year we were paying £695, September it was £825 and now he’s trying for £850 in February:):):):):)
Merry Christmas
@CoeusEducator Because we’re swapping one of the tenants I’m sure they’re using the whole “it’s a new tenancy” thing otherwise they wouldn’t be allowed :(
@MrHopkinTeach My deputy even came to observe me because I asked for help but the class were so different with her in the room it didn’t feel like an accurate representation of the daily struggles I have with them
It’s been over 4 weeks and my class still don’t listen to me at all, don’t follow instructions and don’t see me as someone they should respect 😭😭 every day is getting harder even though I’m trying my absolute best :(:(
@MrHopkinTeach They’ve been absolutely great at being an ear to vent to, letting me observe them and suggesting strategies - it just seems like nothing I do is working but it does with the class for other teachers - starting to think it’s me as the common denominator
Started as an ECT this week. It’s been tough and a challenge. although the team have supported me SO much, what had the most impact was
- deputy walked in my room and noticed it was a tough time. She returned with a cuppa 5 mins later
- HT came to see me each day to check in
Hi everyone. Question about pay
As an ECT with a contract start date of September 1st - when will I receive my first pay? Will it be the end of September or later?
Thank you!!
@MrTs_NQTs@DeputyGrocott
Year 4 tips please!
Was told in April I’d be in year 5 for my ECT years but phonecall today changed that to year 4.. had placements in year 6 and 2 so would appreciate any advice thanks!!! @MrTs_NQTs
Now that I’ve secured a job (year 5, 1 form entry) for September as an ECT how can I begin to prepare over this last term?
Anything I should be gathering, creating or planning so I’m better prepared?
