SLT Beginner

New to SLT, an emerging senior leader. Feeling excited if not a little out of my depth.

@MrsHJT_ Journeys would give you lots of cross curricula ideas. Geography - tourism impacts etc, RE - journey of life routes if passage or pilgrimage, History - great journeys, science/technology the science of transport, music - journey through composition.

@Headteacherchat It doesn't have to be a year each day that's the case

[SLT Beginner @SLTbeginner]

@MindShiftKQED @kwiens62 So so important. A teachers cup needs to runneth over

[SLT Beginner @SLTbeginner]

@everettis1 No teacher is ever done learning about behaviour

[SLT Beginner @SLTbeginner]

@HelpATeacher We also need to help them in understanding and acknowledging theirs and others feeling that come as a consequence of behaviours. A key part of responsibility is self awareness and empathy. This in turn helps build resilience

[SLT Beginner @SLTbeginner]

@DrP_Principal Interesting perspective. I can see all elements

[SLT Beginner @SLTbeginner]

@Harritage There's lots of possibilities. Had to get themselves to school, missed the bus, had to look after a family member that morning, fallen out with friend. Asking questions about needs is so important

[SLT Beginner @SLTbeginner]

@EllieD62 @teachwellall Why wouldn't they be back the next day? If a child is removed from 1 lesson surely that shouldn't mean removal permanently. I agree there are times when a child needs to be moved for a lesson. My key concern then is getting the child back in and rebuilding the relationship

[SLT Beginner @SLTbeginner]

@Headteacherchat Also found journaling really helped

[SLT Beginner @SLTbeginner]

@Headteacherchat My work related stress manifested as anxiety. The book chimp paradox I found really insightful and helpful in my recovery

[SLT Beginner @SLTbeginner]

Why do we think this is accept to do to our peers? The success of children in our schools is dependent on whether the staff around them can be successful. Success doesn't come from criticism, brow bearing and condemnation. When will HMI fill the cup of adults rather than destroy

[SLT Beginner @SLTbeginner]

I'm saddened to think we've not found a way of making change and ensure quality that doesn't include complete disregard for the wellbeing of the adults in the process. We wouldn't expect children to be treated the way staff are currently treated by the inspectorate.

@MissClarkeY5 I can empathise I spent 45 minutes of my day been verbally abused by a 13 year old. It's hard

[SLT Beginner @SLTbeginner]

@MissBPrimary3 Black dress green face paint wicked witch of the west

[SLT Beginner @SLTbeginner]

@MissBPrimary3 Pj's and bandages - midnight gang. Oold school nightie glasses - BFG without the glasses for Wendy from Peter pan.

[SLT Beginner @SLTbeginner]

@MissMJPE I feel you. Pastoral is such a hard job and not one I'm sure you fully understand until you're doing it.

[SLT Beginner @SLTbeginner]

@BraaiKing_Bad Closest to the refreshments.

[SLT Beginner @SLTbeginner]

@Headteacherchat Do you think the academic struggle is the root cause of the behaviour? Are there any other common denominators with the behaviour? Time of the day? Relationship breakdown? Attention seeking?

[SLT Beginner @SLTbeginner]

@Headteacherchat I have some perfect pj's and a crown for where the wild things are. Though I have also been in the past Effie Trinket, one of the 3 little pigs and Moses complete with staff and tablet (IPad) of stone

[SLT Beginner @SLTbeginner]

@Headteacherchat Build relationships first: staff, students, parents. That would be my top three x
