At the end of a working day, when we shut down the tabs on all of our devices, we should shut down the tabs in our heads too. Five ways to do this:
1) Savour an indulgence
2) Mindful breathing
3) Share a compliment
4) Get some fresh, outdoor air
5) Practice gratitude

Coaching as a head of department was a popular request for training in the back-to-school inset days. Learning coaching skills and techniques is an ideal way to cope with the changes and pressures of a 'head of' role.

Being helpful isn't about pleasing people. It's about making a unique contribution.
If you never say no, people don't respect your time. If you're thoughtful about when you give, they're more selective in their asks.
The goal isn't to be needed. It's to add value and be valued.
Best of luck to everyone in the school community heading back tomorrow for Term 3! As it's a busy term, don't forget to prioritise your 'glimmers' as well as dealing with your triggers. Glimmers are those tiny, ordinary, everyday moments of positivity that help to keep us going!
Since October, my year 3/4 class have performed 100 poems! They read poetry everyday and have just started writing their own poems to perform on the poetry perch too - such a joy! 💛 I've used Padlet to keep a record, feel free to take a look! https://t.co/YQsPwUaMwD @OpenUni_RfP
