Don’t tweet much, but just started in a new school teaching Edexcel IGCSE chemistry. No resources… don’t want to burn out straight away reinventing the wheel. Any tips for some good stuff? @Hookean1@ChatChemistry#chatchemistry
@RogersHistory Just 5 years in. Still very much enjoying it. My key tips would be:
1) Remember it’s just a job, protect your own health first.
2) Find out what’s important, so many things we can spend loads of time on that don’t actually help students or ourselves.
@DrRLofthouse@Dave_Connell_11 It does indeed, thank you so much. I apologise for even asking but there are just so many people out there peddling “expertise” about teaching with zero experience.
@MineEYMind As our credentials both outline we are experts in those fields. So without wanting trying to be condescending these questions would be avoided if you backed up your claims with credentials…
@MineEYMind And, again as I’m sure you know, asking for credentials within academia is entirely acceptable. I would not dream of trying to tell you about EY neuroscience as I’m sure you wouldn’t try and teach me about NMR.
@MineEYMind @Strickomaster @JaneUnsworth@MineEYMind but what 20 years?? I can see zero evidence of this on your linked in and as someone roughly 4 years older than me, it would suggest you started teaching at 16…
@MineEYMind@adamboxer1 I don’t mean to jump in here, but having looked at your LinkedIn I can’t see any mention of teaching experience? Apologies if I’m off the mark here!
