I applied to get on the #GTCS register to teach in my home country.. head home when HWP illness takes over. It seems everything I am in England doesn’t count up north. Their loss!
I know I don’t have a maths degree but…I have a 1st BA #teaching and #learning degree!!

A gentle reminder:
It’s okay if you’re struggling right now.
Take a moment to pause, catch your breath, reflect — and then keep going.
You’re doing better than you think.

@arithmaticks.bsky.social, I hope you don’t mind me asking but I’ve been asked to do a training session for the start of term on #Ratiotables!
I know you did a session at maths conference a while back, can you help or point me in the right direction? I would appreciate any guidance!
