Deficit beliefs about minoritized students can cause students to feel disenfranchised and prevent them from experiencing equitable learning opportunities. In this blog, I explore 4 harmful myths that propagate such beliefs | TESOL Blog shar.es/afGyyS

Teacher (new) mums: how are you doing this? Its been 2 days & I want to throw in the towel.

If racism is learned behaviour… Surely that means it can be unlearned, right? Wrong. That’s not quite how it works. Our biases are embedded - and it takes work to remove them.

I'm so happy to have my own classroom and tutor class this year. This is the year I really.make my mark on my school.

@_MrsC_S 😅 I really feel like I'm a trainee again.

@Senior_Psych I forgot how to do save as into a folder 😅

I've returned to work from maternity leave and I have forgotten how to use PowerPoint

Its been a while since I've tweeted... Hi 👋🏾 I'm currently on maternity leave after having my daughter... I miss the classroom and my students but this is the best role. My daughter is amazing 😍

I can’t wait fir all students to come back, so I can clear my calendar of every online lesson! I can’t wait to click on that cancel SERIES option. I will be clicking that option with unfathomable joy! #freedom #edutwitter

@smoggydownsouth I hadn't thought of that. Thank you for the suggestions.

One of my year 12 students has asked me about doing work experience in the social work sector. Can anyone point me in the right direction of what I could recommend for him, please?

I definitely want to get into research when I am finished with teaching. Or, I could do both 🤔

@Findlotte 🤣 I needed that laugh. Thank you loool

@Senior_Psych It's just Imposter syndrome. Everyone is shit at online teaching 😂

Trying to navigate this new teaching career as an NQT with only half the training and never having taught a remote lesson before is really kicking ass and making me doubt my capabilities.

Financial education at home... WHAT IS TAX? My 2min video (suitable for age 13+). Feel free to share. No 1 of 4 #financialeducation films I made for @itvmlshow last year. I'll tweet the mortgage, pension and credit ones across the week. (Schools u r welcome to show these)

My fave part of teaching remotely so far is students sending me their extra curricular work; poerry, art, etc, and asking for my opinion. 🤩

@CurriculumBlack @akala @mentivity I have been looking forward to teaching that lesson ever since I got the job lol I am happy, at least, tbay they will engage with it and know what The Black Curriculum are about

@Senior_Psych @akala @mentivity Sounds like a fab lesson already! 🤩

I was really excited to deliver my sociology lesson on critical race theory and its examination on the racial inequalities in education Unfortunately, Teams is not working.
