Can’t wait to use my “I’m done, now what?” task sticks, perfect for fast finishers! Quite happy with how they turned out!

[Scottish Teachers for Permanence @Teachers4Perm]

We sent letters to MSPs & MPs about the teaching job shortage. In this letter, we detailed about the buck passing between ScotGov and councils

The response? More buck-passing between Scot Gov & local authorities.

It's time for real answers, not endless deflection.

Seeing everyone's tweets and videos being back at work is making me so sad. I really miss teaching. Hoping Scotland works a miracle and starts putting more teachers in employment 😭 #scottishteachers #teachersforpermanence #noteachingjobs

I have never known the job situation in Scotland to be so bad. I feel like all my years of training and teaching how now gone to waste. I've searched for a job since February and not a single job has come up. I don't want to leave teaching but I feel like I have too.. 😔

[Miss Unis @MissUnis]

@zshabir97 I really wish so. The last 6 months have been awful. The flights don't help with being so expensive too

[Miss Unis @MissUnis]

The worst thing about being abroad is not being able to go home easily. I've had 3 family deaths in the space of a year & a half & sadly missed all 3 funerals. It's hard not being able to say goodbye & having to deal with the pain of death by myself. I feel so alone 💔

Wanted to share-the first two pictures are of a girl who started year 1 with 0 phonic knowledge & the last 2 pictures are of her most recent piece of independent writing. You forget how much progress they make in such a short amount of time. This is 5 months. I am so proud of her

First week in year 1 has been so much fun. Tried to make my tuff trays a bit playful. My class definitely love board games. We went with a snakes and ladders to help numbers and counting and a phonics board to recap sounds! #edutwitter #collabuae #teachinuae

Testing positive with covid the week before the end of term is the most soul destroying thing. Knowing that I won’t get to see my class or say bye to them properly & knowing that I most likely won’t see them again as I’m moving to a new school in the summer. Absolutely gutted 😢

[Miss Unis @MissUnis]

If anyone knows any KS1/KS2 jobs going in Dubai could you let please me know. Looking for an August start. Just send me a wee dm! #collabuae #dubaiteaching

[Miss Unis @MissUnis]

@MrKellyGCC My goodness! How big they’ve gotten - feels like yesterday they were only small!

[Miss Unis @MissUnis]

Downfall of living in Dubai? Being eaten alive all the time by mosquitos!! I look like I have a skin allergy 😭😭

[Miss Unis @MissUnis]

@ajcorrigan @taylorward321 @MrRoyTeaches Happy to answer any questions, I’m currently in dubai! TES is your best site to look at. Feel free to send me a message ❤️

[Miss Unis @MissUnis]

@MissBWebb_ No! Don’t! I had 2 failed interviews and about 15 schools didn’t even offer me an interview! I gave up and applied for a job in Dubai 2 days later got 3 interviews and I moved the following week. Those schools aren’t right for you! Branch out but don’t give up ❤️

[Miss Unis @MissUnis]

@MrsC_year1 That’s what I’ve been doing today! I’ve just been whispering! Thank you!

[Miss Unis @MissUnis]

Lost my voice for the first time and extremely run down with the cold. How I’m supposed to teach my lessons tomorrow - I do not know. Anyone got any tips for teaching lessons when you voice is non existent? 🥲

[Miss Unis @MissUnis]

@MissEciloMods Thank you x

[Miss Unis @MissUnis]

@MissEciloMods 4 days 😭😭!! I’m with Year 2 so holding up a sign will be a struggle! I’ll just need to write everything for them haha! Thanks!

[Miss Unis @MissUnis]

Decided to implement “Emotions Talk” into my class for one of my students. He struggles with managing his emotions and resilience so I am hoping this helps. Used it when I was in Scotland and it was fantastic. It helps children recognise emotions and how to be in control of them.

@KahliaBakosi It’s enough to knock anyone’s confidence. I’ve gone as far as ordering 3 sizes up and yet they still just don’t fit. Makes me feel horrible about myself
