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.. 😔
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 😢
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
@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 ❤️
@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 ❤️
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? 🥲
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
