NQT Chat

‘Twas the night before term starts, when all through the house, all the NQTs were... #NQT #BackToSchool #NQTchat #Edchat

This has inspired many a teacher!

It is with heavy hearts that we announce Sir Ken Robinson died peacefully yesterday, 21st August 2020, surrounded by family after a short battle with cancer. We will be following up with a further update as we begin to follow Sir Ken’s wishes and honour his legacy.

Who should wear masks in school this coming year? #coronavirus

We’re looking for new NQT hosts for this account. If you’re interested, please DM for more information.

@BexN91 I set this up back in 2013. Seems a lifetime ago now!

Loved my time as part of NQT chat, seems a long time ago now! If you’re going to be an NQT in September get involved!

My mum told me her colleagues have been bashing teachers in their WhatsApp group today. Saying that their kids aren’t getting enough support from online lessons, and it’s not differentiated perfectly to their child’s needs so they are struggling to do it and they can’t help.

@mathsjem Dropping into this thread as an English teacher

Saw a Year 11 pupil do this today. Classic worrying misconception. Can you guess what he was thinking? #misconceptionchat

@TeachUsMrBlack Definitely brogues, mainly because I’m so annoyed and jealous that you can wear shorts that I don’t want you to fulfil your fashion potential here.

This and @ITTchat are the reasons twitter became such a big part of my life when I started teaching - it’s so lovely to connect with others who are in the same boat as you, and so many experienced teachers helped us out too. Please consider running it! They’re my babies!!!

If you need a bit of #MondayMotivation here's a blog I wrote for Pen Green about facing your fears at story time. Useful for those who dread story time or NQT's. @MrEFinch @earlyyearshour @NQTUK @HertsEnglish @TSLTTheLinden

As teaching and the job slowly took over last year our activity slowed considerably. I can only apologise for this. Therefore if you want to join this year's team and help spread the load please get in contact with us! It can be very rewarding. @Joshuadenton

For the first time in a while, we are back next week!! Please let us know what you would like to discuss #NQTchat

Good luck to @missb_teach this term, who is going on to an leadership role already in her career - very admirable! Follow her for brilliant ideas and advice.

@NQTUK I wrote this blog giving tips on getting through your NQT year based on my own experience. The blog is aimed at PE teachers but it very generic to all subjects if you could RT and share

Been a little quiet on the Twitter front lately. Apologies! NQT life is crazy! Hope everyone is ready for Easter break! 😃

My class recreated the front cover of one of their favourite books as part of #WorldBookDay. Every class in school has done this, so we’re going to have a “book tapestry” display of those going from EYFS - Y6! #readingrocks
