Primary SEMH teacher & Assistant Head Teacher. Love using tech, iOS devices & Chromebooks in teaching. Always looking for new ways to improve my teaching. ADE
@DeputyGrocott Also I think you need some emotional connection as our job requires us to teach so many skills outside pure academic. Social skills, caring, empathy, understanding, resilience, listening….i could go on and on. Without some emotional connection that could not effectively happen.
SATs week reminder
some children will walk into school tomorrow carrying far more than test anxiety:
difficult weekend
no sleep
arguments at home
worry
hunger
Sometimes their bucket is full before the paper is even on the desk
It’s manic first thing but keep a close eye on those children
The Government is telling schools to plug a £4.4bn hole in teacher pay with so called “efficiency savings.” That’s just cuts by another name. If ministers genuinely value teachers, they should fund pay rises properly.
I’ve put a load of my most popular files together in a Dropbox folder. Let me know if you’d like the link. Can I also ask that you share this post pretty please 🙏 (as it seems the only way to get anything seen nowadays!). 😊
I need tech help (again!). My son is building a pc. I’m at the point of getting the operating system. Windows 11. There are different prices (quite a difference in some cases). Does anyone know what best to buy? Please share!
