Teachers are so hard on themselves. I've had so many conversations this week with colleagues who are doing incredible jobs and making a hugely positive impact, but agonising over a days absence or some minor failing. Sometimes we need to realise we're doing a great job! ๐งก
Had a long hiatus from Twitter as I was feeling quite overwhelmed. Pressure of being a new HoD in 2020 was immense. Enjoying being back on twitter now and seeing teachers pulling together. Just heartbroken for my Y11s though. So many emotions!
Hi #teamenglish Iโve created a group DM for new English HoDs in September to chat, share ideas/worries and generally support one another.
Please reply or DM if youโd like to be added.
Any RTs to spread the word gratefully received #edutwitter
You choose to be a teacher because you want to inspire children. You give up time, emotional energy on support, spend your own money on books/food for pupils.Working harder in lockdown. Do you get a thank you? No. Instead you're criticised for asking how 4 year olds can distance
@ADonnan2 The Northern Lights trilogy is really special. The sort of book you remember forever. I'm sure you'll love it when you do get around to reading it :)
Anyone else ever get so excited for a book that you end up not reading it for ages because the occasion never seems momentous enough, and you know you'll never again be able to read it for the first time?

2 days. With no extra funding, resources or materials. That's how long it took schools to go online.
This guy should be kissing the ground teachers walk on for that logistical miracle.
But instead this.

Consciously exercising more than I have in years. Still putting on lockdown weight! I think I underestimated how much cardio I was doing on a regular basis...prancing around my classroom, dashing to the printer, doing my 100mph 'teacher walk' ๐
