Great day for first session of Science for Probationers with @SSERCofficial ๐งช lots of great ideas to try with my classes and looking forward to the second part in June โบ๏ธ #science#chemistry#physics#biology
Been a while since Iโve updated on here! But this week I had my 3rd observation, ran my first supported study session and itโs been 1 year since I started my first placement! A crazy year but so grateful ๐ฅฐ #NQT
First week of school finished โ A tiring week in the science department and looking forward to a relaxing weekend ๐ฉโ๐ซ #firstweekofschool#probation#teacherlife
One year ago today, I made the decision to apply for @StrathEDU PGDE through clearing. It has been the hardest and scariest 12 months and I donโt regret a minute of it! Canโt wait to start my NQT year this week and continue my teaching journey ๐๐ฉโ๐ซ #teacher#StrathPGDE
Officially passed PGDE!! So relieved to know now, and canโt wait to get back to teaching in August ๐ฉโ๐ซ Thank you to all the PGDE staff at @UniStrathclyde for all the help over the year ๐๐ฅณ #StrathPGDE#NQT
So excited to be going back to Lanark Grammar for probation year! ๐ฅณ Looking forward to being back in the science department and canโt wait to get started ๐ #probation#teacher @LGS_1183
Finally made it to uni yesterday after this crazy year! Hopefully Iโll be back one day to meet some teacher friends in person instead of over zoom ๐ฉโ๐ซ๐ #StrathPGDE#StrathEdu#TeacherAppreciation
So excited to be in South Lanarkshire for probation year! Canโt wait to find out what school Iโll be joining, itโs all starting to come together now ๐ฅฐ๐ฉโ๐ซ #StrathPGDE#probationyear
Last day of placement! Canโt believe how the time has flown by, really going to miss the lovely staff at @CarlukeHS_Sci ๐ฅฐ thank you for welcoming me for the past 7 weeks ๐๐ฉโ๐ฌ
Another busy weekend planning for next week full of lessons! Canโt believe only 3 weeks of placement left, where has the time gone ๐ฉโ๐ซ๐ #StrathPGDE#student#placement
Great day teaching today, set me up well for my observed lesson tomorrow! Keeping my fingers crossed it goes well ๐ฉโ๐ซ๐ #StrathPGDE#placement
After a bad day of teaching and wanting to give up, a reminder to any struggling teachers out there, itโs all part of the learning curve and itโs okay not to have perfect lessons all the time ๐ #placement#itsokaytocry#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek
After spending most of my weekend on my laptop planning lessons for all my classes for my first week teaching, now sitting out enjoying the last of the sunshine โ๏ธ Hereโs to a good week ๐๐ฉโ๐ซ #planning#placement#StrathPGDE
