Miss Kirwan

Been chosen by one of my pupils to attend a teacher appreciation evening at one of his clubs and even-though it’s on a Friday from 7-8:30pm…. How could i say no after that honour 🙌🏻💕

Any schools have any good intervention/behaviour methods which have been effective with students struggling to deal with school life?

Applied for a Pastoral support officer role at an amazing school where there were 9 of us interviewing and i got the job!! A switch from PE teaching to focus on my real passion in education! 🙌🏻

You know times have changed when kids are wearing £120 Steve madden trainers for school shoes. Whatever happened to that saturday trip to shoezone 🙈

This is what too many teachers across this country have to put up with on the regular. Being blamed for EVERYTHING while parents and their kids can do and say whatever they like with zero accountability for it. Why do teachers quit? Watch this for 1 snapshot.

Always fun to be sent a literacy countdown challenge for form time with a bunch of year 9’s. Then this pops up…… whoever made this needs to check their work 😂

Play dough came out today for year 10 GCSE for the Cardiovascular system. Winning pair gets a treat of their choice. Who do we think deserves the win?!

First session today and already progress made with listening to instructions and having an opportunity to make the right choice when conflict arises 🙌🏻

Only started this school in September but went in with a goal to create a programme for the students in and out of inclusion to make them feel valued and teach them values through sport. Goal: to get each of them a sports leadership qualification and a new attitude to life 🙌🏻

It’s always lovely getting a surprised look followed by a ‘Miss you’re the best form teacher’ when you get your form a little Christmas gift each. They deserve it after getting the best form award twice in a row 🙌🏻

@19870830N @hannahliznqt Not yet as it has been a new thought of mine but It is my next steps to do that

@KirwanMiss @hannahliznqt Hello! Yes, a lot of colleges teach btec sport - have you tried directly approaching local colleges? :)

@19870830N @hannahliznqt Im looking to go into BTEC teaching sports science. Do you know anyone who teaches btec?😁

@KirwanMiss @hannahliznqt I would say to just go for it - have you got any A level experience? Can you go visit a local college? Find out a bit more? Good luck! Best move I ever made 😊

@19870830N @hannahliznqt Hi, how did you go about getting into college teaching? I’m thinking of doing the same thing?

@hannahliznqt I stayed in my first school nearly 4 years. It nearly broke me. Moved schools. Just as bad. Left after a year. Final “go” by moving to a 6th form college and now in my 7th year at the college :) Maybe try somewhere else?

Thinking of going into teaching BTEC sports science in a college after i finish my last ECT year in my secondary school. Any tips or advice on how i would go about this? 🙌🏻💯

Lovely to see your Year 10 GCSE Class really getting involved and keen to learn. Todays starter was a recap on yesterdays lesson on the skeletal system. After having only 1 lesson on it they did really well to remember so much 🎉🙌🏻!!

Part of my form board for my year 9’s up and running alongside each students targets for this year which they can look back on every day to remind themselves of what they want to achieve this year 🙌🏻 little things matter!

I’ve been really slack with the OCR Sport Science google drive of late! Apologies! 😳 I have reorganised it and prepared for the new speciation (first teaching Sept ‘22). Great opportunity to share resources for new spec 🙌 pop your email below and I’ll get you added ASAP! #RT

GCSE revision pong: questions in each cup, if you get it in the cup the other team have to answer the question. Points for getting in the cup and answering correctly. Had to adapt to floor due to exams taking place where tables were but still went well 🙌🏻👍🏼💯

Secured a permanent job for September with a really nice school 🙌🏻 seeing that contract has allowed me to relax from the panic of job hunting and interviews!!

Being told you aren’t needed anymore half way through your ECT years with a couple months to find a job is stressful 😫
