@MissStanleyYr6 In my experience, it doesn't matter the time teaching; a "genuine" (or ish) job will still often only give 48 -72 hours notice, and a rigged one 24-48. A very short advertising period is also a give away. Nice to know it's better in Scotland and here's to better support for ECTs!
Would anyone like to host an #engchatuk on Early Career Teachers and plans in English Departments for next year? (At some point over the next few weeks.) Feels like we could have a good chat. Let me know if you like the idea and if you would like to host.
Exactly the right person to be part of this event. Knowing her as one of the #CollectivEdFellows and experienced headteacher @RaeSnape will bring insight, wisdom and humour.
In recent weeks I have seen teachers being asked by schools leaders to do the following:
*Only teach 'low ability' some of the content
*To use all/most/some
*Use levels for assessment
*Make an 'Ofsted folder'
*Mark PP student work first
How can these things be justified?
An update:
Me: I'm so sorry about yesterday... I felt awful walking past you. 😟
Child: (sighs) Mr T, you are running the school, you're busy there is no need to apologise.😊
How is Ramadan? I know I'm not Muslim - but I'm going to celebrate too.🤗
Me: 🤗🥲❤️
Myself, @Cooke_Music & @MTrussell586 are enjoying listening to the @DRET_TSH session on The Early Career Framework this evening. Thanks to @SaundersOli & @GraceEHealy - we are excited to be working on the pilot for this at the moment & proud of the hard work of our NQTs & mentors
