#TEACHers: Are you preparing for the next academic year & focusing on what you will teach? Have you considered your own personal development? Here is an idea: it's a learning journal with reflective tasks and ideas for conquering the challenges teachers often face. @routlidge

@RogersHistory These rules could make teaching some subjects a challenge! I always had the desire to run a teacher training day exactly like a school day for pupils (timetable, subjects, breaks, rules and all). A training day run like this would make for interesting watching.

A school has been heavily criticised this week by parents for this new set of behaviour expectations, any thoughts?

Planning #INSET ? Here is a host of reflective tasks. routledge.com/If-you-cant-re… #classroom #teach #EdChat

Came across this from @CAMHSPro resources and reflected on the four learner engagement needs Power/Belonging/Choice and Fun and how meeting these needs fills the cup and ignoring them quickly empties it. More about PBCF & #teaching : 4c3d.wordpress.com/2022/04/27/why…

Have you heard of Learning Intelligence or LQ? Adopting an LQ approach as a #teacher is just as important as recognising the impact on you as a #learner. More can be found about LQ at 4c3d.wordpress.com

You are a #teacher because you understand #belonging, promote #creativity, guide #choices and engage in #fun. Your superpower is your subject because that is your passion. amazon.co.uk/cant-reach-the…

At some point, your life becomes about what you want to do rather than what you have to do. I recommend having a list ready when this happens.

I agree with her wholeheartedly on this. Sorry - It is a luxury and there is no reason whatsoever that private schools should get the breaks and privileges they have got used to.

Perhaps not the highest rankings on Amazon but something I am proud of. The idea that 40 years of experience can be available to new #teachers is a very rewarding feeling. #education #ect

In #teaching there is a central need to build a learning relationship with your pupils. #teachers benefit from engaged #learners Two key aspects you need to include in your planning as a #teacher are 1) #PBCF and 2) #LQ Discover more: criticalpublishing.com/if-you-cant-re…

In a school/pupil context, it is also about agency & not having the tools or being able to achieve an emotional state or perhaps the confidence that allows for dealing with conflicting views & emotions in a way that leads to understanding. Causing chaos prevents facing truths.

@Thinkingschool2 It is exactly the same for the pupils too. 👍😊

Staff wellbeing matters - teaching is a challenging job. When you work in a school where you feel valued, included and listened to, that is where you get a sense of wellbeing. No gimmicks. Just great support and relationships. A team.

@Strickomaster Absolutely Sam. Chasing being liked is the wrong way to build learning relationships with your pupils. I think those who do are possibly looking for the easy way - there is no easy way, it takes hard work and consistency.

@Strickomaster Teachers have to have a positive learning relationship with their pupils. Although there are fundamental foundations successful teachers go about and achieve it in their own way.
