@Headteacherchat before they took me on permanently. I am now an English specialist across my trust, give workshops in trust wide INSET days (3000 people) and I am regarded in my school not only as a hard worker but also a positive and encouraging team player… maybe give them a chance.

@Headteacherchat supply the coming academic year. Scrubbed my references and mentions of the school on my application and basically began my reputation from the ground up. I was on supply for two terms, had wonderful feedback from all schools and ended up where I am now on a long term contract🧵
@Headteacherchat I couldn’t leave my house for a month and had to go on antid’s. I then began interviewing when I felt ready to, and the head teacher had bad mouthed me to every school in the county (I found this out after 8 rejected interviews, one school was honest with me). I had to go on 🧵
@Headteacherchat I was then presented with a support plan (I honestly can’t remember the reason used to this day) it was clearly a short and brutal assassination of my confidence in work. I took advice on Twitter oddly enough, went off with mental health (which was absolutely in the toilet 🧵
@Headteacherchat I was then asked to complete weekly teaching plans on top of my regular ones with scripts for what I was planning on doing including intros and plenary’s (this is akin to what ECTs do at the beginning) these turned out to be 40 page documents because of the detail demanded. 🧵

Good morning #teacher5oclockclub - I can tell we’re heading towards the end of the term, this is the first time I’ve joined the club this week! The snooze alarm is getting more and more tempting 😉 not long left and I’ve now completed the Citizenship planning for the school 💪🏻
Good morning #teacher5oclockclub - two more days left this week! I’m very excited as this massive delivery of books arrived yesterday - all the books for the KS3 curriculum I’ve been devising since January - a whole year worth of books! Can’t wait to launch 🚀 #edutwitter
Good morning #teacher5oclockclub - Tuesday! We’ve got food today so we’ll be making Chinese dumplings! Very excited as they absolutely nailed the bao buns we made earlier in the term. Have a wonderful day all 🫶🏻 (But likely I’ll feel like this on the inside 😂)
Good morning #teacher5oclockclub - a weekend check in for me today with the grumpy cats (almost a cat stand off in the corner!) Education quality check coming up so I’ve got to ensure all my resources are in the right place on the system - wish me luck! #edutwitter#SundayMorning
