If you want the alleged: holidays great pay finish at 3pm easy working conditions weekends and evenings off then be a teacher yourself. Theres a recruitment crisis, we need as many new people as we can get. There’s loads of ways to get into it. I’d be happy to help.

The most thoughtful end of year gift I have ever received.

@mrs_h41 Thank you very much! (I did indeed have more than one)

@EmzTheEducator I hope you had more than one!! Well done 🍾

Spent the last week stressing over a job interview and a masters assignment and I got the job from the interview and got 78% in the assignment 🤣 time for a gin I think

Oh my gosh… I got the permanent job!!! Couldn’t be happier 🎉

Ooooh I have an interview on Monday to (potentially and hopefully) be made permanent in my current role in a SEN school. Fingers, toes, everything crossed please🤞🏻☺️.

@primaryteacheb @MrTs_NQTs Yes definitely! Good luck ☺️

@EmzTheEducator @MrTs_NQTs It really is the only profession where it’s like this 😩 explained it to my partner and he was baffled! Just going to go with the flow and see what happens!

I have two interviews this week, one tomorrow and one on Thursday. I REALLY want the second job more. I don’t want to be left without a job in Sept, what happens if the first job offers me it? (Not saying I will get it!!) 😭 @MrTs_NQTs

@MissEPrimary Best move I ever did, good luck! I can’t imagine teaching in mainstream now.

Day 9. Was hoping for some sort of early release but my tests have other ideas. I won’t be out of isolation until Friday. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@mrs_h41 I was ill last week but I’m slowly getting there, thank you

@MissSamuel96 Ah, hope you're OK.

Covid guilt is so much worse as a teacher, isn’t it? Not sure what I have to feel guilty about when I caught it from work to begin with but I really dislike not being there

Day 1 of PECS training ✔️ I’ve been teaching in a SEN school for almost a year but without any official training I’ve definitely picked up some bad habits, so it’s great to hear exactly how I should be implementing it to support all 9 of my lovely learners. ☺️

Interested to hear how other schools address staff well-being and mental health? ☺️

@_MissLilley Hey. I’m working with a Year 1 class of 6 children, all non-speaking. Just having to pitch things in a different way. Inputs are a bit of struggle but Pinterest is my best friend for all things sensory/messy/fine motor. 😂

@MissSamuel96 I did some work in an SEN school. Planning wasn't massively different tbh. What are you struggling with?

Has anybody else ever gone from mainstream to SEN teaching? I honestly don’t have a clue what I’m doing with my planning etc. My anxiety is horrific tonight because I haven’t got a clue what I’m doing 😔

You’re not officially a teacher unless someone you live with has told you that they’re not one of the children in your class and you can’t speak to them like that.

I haven’t used this Twitter in a while, but as I’m getting back in to the swing of teaching post furlough (and in an area I have no experience in whatsoever) now is the best time!! Now, who can recommend some good SEN teacher accounts? I’m in a new school and need inspiration!!

Hi all, Mr Anderson is leaving us at the end of this week, taking early retirement. We’re not buying him a gift as he will be returning on 12th of April to do exactly the same job but on £80 a day supply teacher rate. This should save us around £20k a year. Win win. Thanks x

I’m 28 years old and I still judge people’s ages (within about 3 years of mine) to which school year they would have been in relation to me. “Oh, so you’re the year above me?”
