Rural Teaching Network

A place for teachers in rural settings to connect to and support each other, sharing ideas and insights in a positive space.

Looking for fellow mixed age class teachers to put a teacher in touch with on twitter . Ideally Y456 teachers. It can be a lonely place. #smallschool #mixedageclass @TeachingRural

Right, time to get a virtual gathering sorted rural teachers and leaders! Gone for a Wednesday but which and what time would people prefer? #rural #teaching

Great couple of chats this evening with @mrawolfe at @churchofengland and @NiallAlcock at @WeAreInBetaPod about how we can collaborate and work together on connecting rural schools, leaders and teachers. Very exciting stuff! Watch this space! 😊

Would any teachers or leaders in a rural setting with ideas or stories to share fancy taking part in a pilot for a Rural Teaching Podcast? Appreciate it’s a busy time, so can be very flexible on timings. 🌳 🎧 👍

CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS: I am looking to speak to rural/remote primary school headteachers in England about how they ‘do’ leadership, especially in the current climate. This is a challenging time, but if there are any heads who are happy to speak to me please get in touch!Pls share

[Rural Teaching Network @TeachingRural]

Since my brain is whirring away & ideas keep popping up, what would this network also think of a regular podcast? Thinking I could interview/chat with rural leaders & teacher with great stories to share, which others can then access at their leisure. One busy brain at the moment!

@sirmobbsalot Cheers matey 👍🏻

After school one evening seems to be the best bet thus far. I’ll pull some dates together and put a poll up 👍

[Rural Teaching Network @TeachingRural]

If I was to arrange a virtual get together, when would work best for people? During holiday time? An evening in term time? A weekend?

[Rural Teaching Network @TeachingRural]

@naznethr I couldn’t agree more

[Rural Teaching Network @TeachingRural]

An enormous well done to every member of every team in every school for all you have achieved this half term. A truly incredible effort by all involved. Enjoy your well-earned break over the next week or so! #school #rural #halfterm

[Rural Teaching Network @TeachingRural]

@9fclayton Thanks Fiona. Hope you have a restful half term break!

[Rural Teaching Network @TeachingRural]

I’ve been thinking about where this network could go and what the key things people would want from it. Connections? CPD? Collaboration? It’d be great to hear your thoughts. 👍

@TeachingRural A sentiment which is echoed by @NASmallSchools!

[Rural Teaching Network @TeachingRural]

@deputygrocott Happy #FFBWednesday everybody! We’re a network of teachers and leaders working in rural and/or small school settings looking to share and collaborate. Come join the conversation!

@kirstycooper10 Hi Kirsty! How do you envisage this? Something structured or simply getting some heads together virtually and having an informal gathering/chance to ask questions, etc?
