Everyone in schools should be aware that because teaching is an incredibly tough job to get right, teachers can easily drift into feelings of inadequacy despite doing an excellent job in relative terms. It can take an email, throw away comment, lack of appreciation, silly reg or unfounded judgement over something rather negligible to tip them over the edge.
Key question - is whatever I’m about to do, say or ask really worth that risk of tipping a teacher out of the profession? Will it contribute to it? How necessary are the things we’ve normalised as necessary? How many ‘vital tasks’ are far from non negotiable? Just some thought points.

Always loved #EmilyGravett’s books and this is up there with the best of them.
“Bothered by Bugs” is a very funny book about the importance of all the creatures and valuing them. It’s wild and silly and full of amazing detail. Fantastically told and presented.

One of the hardest truths about teaching is that no matter how long you do it, how much reading and training you do, you can never get it right every single time. Perfect is impossible which is tough on exactly the kind of perfectionist personalities teaching often attracts.
