Teachers are so hard on themselves. I've had so many conversations this week with colleagues who are doing incredible jobs and making a hugely positive impact, but agonising over a days absence or some minor failing. Sometimes we need to realise we're doing a great job! 🧡
Had a long hiatus from Twitter as I was feeling quite overwhelmed. Pressure of being a new HoD in 2020 was immense. Enjoying being back on twitter now and seeing teachers pulling together. Just heartbroken for my Y11s though. So many emotions!

Hi #teamenglish I’ve created a group DM for new English HoDs in September to chat, share ideas/worries and generally support one another.
Please reply or DM if you’d like to be added.
Any RTs to spread the word gratefully received #edutwitter

You choose to be a teacher because you want to inspire children. You give up time, emotional energy on support, spend your own money on books/food for pupils.Working harder in lockdown. Do you get a thank you? No. Instead you're criticised for asking how 4 year olds can distance
Finding it horribly difficult to fill out an NQT report when I haven't seen the NQT teach in over two months!
Anyone else ever get so excited for a book that you end up not reading it for ages because the occasion never seems momentous enough, and you know you'll never again be able to read it for the first time?

Nice to see the daily mail has gone from weird racist nonsense paper to actively trying to kill all teachers

2 days. With no extra funding, resources or materials. That's how long it took schools to go online.
This guy should be kissing the ground teachers walk on for that logistical miracle.
But instead this.

Happy Sunday everyone! Hope you're all enjoying the lovely weather, staying safe, and having a restful, stress-free weekend ☀️🌳🌈
Consciously exercising more than I have in years. Still putting on lockdown weight! I think I underestimated how much cardio I was doing on a regular basis...prancing around my classroom, dashing to the printer, doing my 100mph 'teacher walk' 😂
Wondering how other schools are approaching CPD at this time? Are you being given CPD training at home? How much time are you expected to spend on it? #edutwitter
Definite stress dream last night! School reopened, no one was social distancing, I had to hold assembly with Y11 who had gone wild. Head wanted me to perform a card trick (which I didn't know) for ALT, none of my lessons were planned and Percy Weasley rang and shouted at me 😵
I'm not finding isolation too hard, because I have a big house, a loving fiancé, a cat and a garden. But it keeps hitting me hard how many of the kids I teach are stuck in tiny flats with nothing to do, and maybe abusive adults. Schools are vital for more than just education.
Putting together a 'home isolation bucket list' of activities for my Y7 form to do, to keep them occupied and enriched over the next few weeks. Suggestions welcome! #CoronavirusLockdown #Learningathome
Out of interest, who else here delivers the Ark @english_mastery curriculum to KS3, and how are you delivering that as remote content? #englishmastery #remoteteaching
