I’ve taken a long break from Twitter but I’ve moved away from my toxic school. My current school is more diverse and supportive and I’ve found my passion for teaching again. I feel seen and appreciated.
My experience with during my ECT year this year has been truly traumatic, I’ve been bullied by parents and I don’t feel the support from my school. I cannot believe what’s happening to me right now.
I’ve spent every single term this year with imposter syndrome but this term so far has been great and even with untreated adhd I know teaching is for me.
Hey all,
I’m looking to start a netball team at my school, in this day and age do you have a girls and boys team or do they have mixed teams ?
Please RT so I can get some feedback / responses

@MissMannPrimary I had my interview with year 2, last year I did something simple. Maths statistics we build a pictogram with our favourite flavour crisps and I had questions such as least favourite, most popular the different between most and least. It was interactive and differentiated.
One of my students in my year 4 class, who was very shy and quiet at the beginning, approached me yesterday and told me “Miss I feel so confident in your class and I don’t know why but I like it” it was so lovely to hear 🥺
I’ve been advised that I should leave my current school in order to not fail my ECT year. I feel like I’m being bullied into leaving but I’m not willing to work in a school who doesn’t know want me or support my neurodiverse needs. Sucks because I really enjoy teaching my class.
@AdultingADHD the divide between how adhd looks on the outside and how it feels is so huge. if we get good at masking, to everyone else we're just "normal", so they expect us to be like NTs. but if you actually try to explain how it feels internally, it just feels like an excuse
It’s tricky explaining how ADHD affects you in the workplace. On one hand you don’t want to scream “I have to put in 100 times more effort than others to deliver the key tasks required for this job, which takes a toll on me” on the other hand you don’t want to suffer in silence
