I’d never come across schools that had teachers on contracts until now. Current school would have everyone on contract if they could. Madness imo. Or is it? Is this the norm and I’ve just been lucky?

Massively stuck on what to do. Contracted long-term supply told her TA on Friday, "if I'm not back next week then theres the planning and resources." I know she is having a really tough time and struggling. Head wasn't in Friday, so I couldn't share my concerns. Should I reach out on a Sunday?

Oh the irony of listening to this driving home with 90 books in the car and our teacher ‘marking and feedback’ matrix in the hope of getting moved from emerging to developing in Mondays book scrutiny… 🙄

Death by Marking - Who is it Really For?: The Morning Break with Liz Webb and Rachel Gilyeat | Teachers Talk Radio
Burdensome workload is the constant cry of teachers, and marking is so often front and centre of the tasks which weigh us down. Why are we still so obsessed with written feedback? Is it really for the students? Or is it about accountability and box ticking?

Is it normal practice for schools to state 2 out of 3 appraisal targets rather than giving staff a choice? #eduskyprimary

Does anyone know if your headteacher is saying 'no things are too busy you cant do your NPQ', then can you still do it outside of the school?

Its funny because prior to being a teacher I valued my kids reports. Then I became a teacher, realised things like the copy and paste, or Twinkl phrases being used, and suddenly those reports had zero value. As such I always try my hardest to make my really individual and specific to the child.
The phase breakdown: Just 6% of secondary teachers and 14% of primary teachers describe the report as being “very useful” to parents.

An incredibly emotional day.
When I left teaching because LGBTQ+ inclusion wasn’t good enough, I never imagined I’d be at a Pride event talking about our work.
More Than Flags and Rainbows’ first Pride. I’ll never forget it. 🏳️🌈

Today it has occurred to me in the following week I face attempt 2 of giving evidence against my ex in court and then move house. Nothing is packed. I keep ignoring it. I can’t deal with all this on top of work! It’s easier to ignore it all!
