3rd year teaching ✨

@taylorda01 Not too sure! We pass it on to the ACL who then has a meeting with the senior vice principal to pass on what we are all doing and then I am unsure of this is then communicated to home

[Jessica Elam @jelamaths]

@taylorda01 At the end of every assessment point (3 each year), students falling behind are classed as being in the ‘red group’ and we are asked to prioritise these students in lessons in terms of cold calling, marking, planning etc and share with our ACL what we are doing to help them!

6 years since this sadly true story happened and I am still just as amused 🥲

Came back into school today after having yesterday off for my graduation to find this left on my desk from my year 7’s 🥺

*Daily Tip*
Take time this half term to reflect on just how far you have come. Remember you are at the start of your journey, no one is expecting you to be the perfect teacher (I'm not sure anyone is) so don't expect it from yourself. #YouGotThis

@taylorda01 Thank you for the thought, I hadn’t seen! Unfortunately I am booked up that evening (☹️) but hopefully next time! I’ll give it a retweet ☺️

When the English teacher is on vacation and you request the maths teacher to act as a substitute …🤣… | thank you @advsanjoy !

It doesn’t matter if you crawled there, you got there.

Have a great weekend.

*Daily Tip*
Please don't compare your journey in teaching to others. Everyone has different strengths, experiences & skills. Especially don't compare yourself to those who have 10 years more experience than you. Focus on your own practice & be a bit better each day! #YouGotThis

@mrcstott I am hoping they will have calculators and be able to use them! I guess I will find out tomorrow, thank you!

[Jessica Elam @jelamaths]

@mrahmedmathsuk That’s what I keep thinking, 30 minutes will fly by! Thank you! ☺️

[Jessica Elam @jelamaths]

@taylorda01 Thank you! That is very helpful! ☺️ I’m possibly over thinking a 30 minute lesson content wise but it’s better to be prepared!

[Jessica Elam @jelamaths]

@mrcstott Thank you! That is the information I have been given in the email and I also presumed that it means compound interest too. I will do that to start with and plan for both possibilities, thank you!

You know that cool method to factorise polynomials that I spotted last year in a textbook from the 50s? I’ve spoken about it at two conferences. It’s my new favourite method. Ridiculously quick and easy.

I just spotted that Dr Madas now does it too. He used to use long division.
