I was at uni with @ManchesterSCITT yesterday, so when I got back to class today I was over the moon to get a #NationalTeachersDay card. 🥰

Now I just need to work on how they spell my name… hehe

Today I was greeted with a box of treats from my fellow trainee at @ManchesterSCITT 🥰.

They say it’s the children that make the job worth it in teaching, but it’s the colleagues too! ❤️✨

[Faith Biddle @Ms_Biddle]

A few pictures to glimpse the #teachertraining this #springterm.

So far we’ve learnt more about: leading fun science experiments, pastoral support, and behaviour management.

Thank you to all the facilitators 🙌🏼.

Always a privilege to support trainees to develop their confidence, knowledge and skills at this early stage of their teaching career. #everyonecansing

@ACampbellteach Well done 👏🏽! Not one bit surprised ✨

[Faith Biddle @Ms_Biddle]

@ACampbellteach @ManchesterSCITT ❤️👏🏽

[Faith Biddle @Ms_Biddle]

Thank you to @ThePEUmbrella for delivering a fantastic session on #PE in #primaryschool.

We looked at: 1) the wider societal impact of regular movement, 2) the #NationalCurriculum 3) the importance of praising children for effort (not skill), 4) and played like big kids👏🏽🏃‍♂️🤪

[Faith Biddle @Ms_Biddle]

Yesterday’s art training couldn’t have come at a better time ❤️ 🖼 .

It was brilliant to be creative (especially when we’re all a bit sleepy at the end of term).

It was also a great opportunity to recognise how important it is for the children to be creative in schools too!

@ACampbellteach ❤️❤️❤️

I know that calling in sick as a teacher can sometimes be a hassle and stuff but honestly this widespread "must be in!" mentality thing has to stop.

Stay home. Get better.

A great day for mind maps! Thank you @BCOldham for such a productive training day: Adaptive teaching! We really enjoyed all the materials and discussions with our peers ⭐️🧠 #SEND #SCITT @ManchesterSCITT

[Faith Biddle @Ms_Biddle]

This week my lovely mentor had covid, so I had to teach much more.

I couldn’t have done it without the wonderful support of my placement school 👏🏽. I’m feeling grateful for the kindness and skills in the team.

This definitely feels like a milestone for my teaching journey.

[Faith Biddle @Ms_Biddle]

Congrats to the @ManchesterSCITT #primary team who have made it through the first half term 🎊.

It’s been ace to learn with (and from) each other since September 🧀 💙💜💚.

Thank you to @missjessrennie for the final @ManchesterSCITT session before half term 👏🏽.

My nerdiness peaked when we talked about #primarygeography and how to chunk lessons effectively in order to allow children learn about the world around them 🌎 🗺 🌋

[Faith Biddle @Ms_Biddle]

We’re back at @ECSTGOldham learning how to teach English and reading with @ManchesterSCITT.

One of the best things about our training days is learning from colleagues on the course. Today @MrsPatidarteach brought this book to life (& how to create the questions).🥳 #edutwitter

[Faith Biddle @Ms_Biddle]

Love this!

[East Crompton St George's CE Primary School @ECSTGOldham]

In PSHE Year 1 have been thinking about the feeling 'proud'. We discussed how it makes us feel to be proud and then we individually told Jigsaw Jack our reasons to be proud. Finally, our teacher gave us all a certificate telling us why she is proud of us. #shineyourlight

[Faith Biddle @Ms_Biddle]

Today completes the introductory sessions for primary English, maths, and science from @ManchesterSCITT (in accordance with what we need to know from the #nationalcurriculum) 🙌🏼.

Each session has been taught in a way that’s bespoke to the subject matter 👏🏽. It’s ace.

[ManchesterNexusSCITT @ManchesterSCITT]

Nexus have just hosted the second Keeping in Touch event of the year. What a fantastic group of teachers to be! We really can’t wait to work with you all from September. 📚 👨‍🎓 #nextgeneration @NexusScitt @getintoteaching @EMTeachingHub @CranmerTrust

Hello 👋, I'm a new trainee teacher in Manchester. I'll be documenting and reflecting on the learning along the next year - and hopefully onto my teaching career!
