Miss R

@Morrisons the free from freezer at my local branch has looked like this for over a month. I’ve asked staff and they just look blankly and say they don’t know. As a coeliac, it’s deflating to go in every time and see this. Is there a reason? Thanks in advanced!

@trafficscotland There’s been an accident on the A82 just after Ballachulish. Any ideas on when road will be cleared?

Scotland’s teachers currently have 22.5 hours of class contact time, more than teachers in many other countries in the OECD. Class sizes in Scotland are amongst the highest in the OECD, meaning that Scottish teachers have responsibility for the learning, teaching, assessment and care of more pupils than the majority of their international counterparts. Contractually, each week, teachers only have up to 7.5 hours of time set aside for planning and preparing learning and feedback for all of their pupils. Research has shown that teachers are working an additional 11 plus hours at home and this time is being used for planning and preparing learning - the Preparation and Correction component of their role. A further 1.5 hours for preparation and correction will give teachers more time in the contractual working week to plan and prepare quality learning and feedback for pupils rather than them doing it in their own time. There are 13 days left for COSLA and the Scottish Government to meaningfully and collegiately commit to addressing workload.

Seeking some ideas for implementing play in upper primary? I want to start with having half an hour of play every morning but I don’t quite know where to start #edutwitter

Applying for a teacher job can be soul destroying. I’ve applied for 5 jobs so far and not a single interview. 1 school didn’t even acknowledge receiving my application! It’s making the worry about September heighten. I want a job. Just makes me wonder why I’m not wanted?

@DougieClarkTOK I’d love to know more about this if possible?

Are you looking to bring Meta Skills to life in your school? Did you know Treehouse is aligned to Meta Skills, Wellbeing Indicators and the E’s & O’s. Get in touch if you wan to find out more #treehouse #metaskills

@Mr_Minchin @MrsLElliottPT1 I think this looks amazing! I was actually going to ask how you plan and assess these types of lessons? Would love to know more if you are both willing to share? I’d love to implement this!

I’m doing supply till the end of term in a school who has access to a beach for outdoor learning (mainly rock beach). I’ve never done anything like this before. Any advice or ideas for lessons or activities to do here? TIA ♥️ #edutwitter

@KJohnsonCTeach Thank you! I’ll have a look today!

@MissRScot The whiteboard app on the iPads does I think

Hello lovely educators in my phone. Is there a jamboard equivalent where I can set it up and children can add things using an IPad without logging in? Really love jamboard but logging in takes faaaaaar too long! Please help #edutwitter

This is not what World Book Day should be about. Why is the underlying message being taken over by expensive fancy dress? Let’s take it back to the real meaning - promoting a love of books and stories and the magical world they can open up for children of all ages. #worldbookday

@NUthmani Thank you! This really helped me a lot. I was told it was so, so clear how “inspirational”, “enthusiastic” and “in the know” I am in relation to learning and teaching but i still didn’t get it because of that comment. Honestly at a loss over what I’m to do?

How do people take interview feedback? One interview I was told I was too stiff and need to laugh and show my personality. The next I was told I was too bubbly and had to remember it’s a professional situation? It doesn’t make this tough journey easier 😩

@_missmartin22 Thank you! When I was in your position I kept telling myself to just wait it out and it will get better. I was lucky enough to have something every year up until now, 5 years in. It’s truly disheartening ♥️

@MissRScot So sorry that you’re struggling. I just finished my probation year and I’m fed up with it already, I have no hope or positivity bc I know in a few years time I will be in the same position as I am now 😢 Feel free to send me a message if you want to chat. You are not alone ❤️

@Cazza_1972 I was thinking about going down this route as well. How is she finding the application process?

@MissRScot This is sad to read, my daughter qualified in 2020 and still no full time secondary job. Now applying for nurseries

@teachwellall This is what I’m telling myself too, thank you for validating my feelings ♥️

@MrRobHistory Thank you, it truly means so much ♥️

@MissRScot Really sorry you feel like this. I've been there. If I can help please ask. You're not on your own

@Oggs26 Thank you ♥️

@MissRScot Sorry your not feeling great

@EdnaKrabapple1 @aldometalman @dogsandrobins Thank you so much, honestly it means the world ♥️

@MissRScot @aldometalman @dogsandrobins is correct. It's good to keep that network of teachers as there some of us who can appreciate how you are feeling. Hopefully, something will come your way. Best wishes. ❤️
