How many times do we have to hear the same thing, a thing we all know and feel, before something is done and unions stand up and advocate for what is becoming(and arguably has already become) a depleted, disenfranchised profession?
Union leaders have warned of a 'system in crisis' as teacher wellbeing rates have plunged to a new low

"Know that, ultimately, no matter what your role, you can positively impact the life of a child through consistency and care."
A great way to end your book, @connoracton in routledge.com/Pastoral-Care-…, @routledgebooks

"Reflect on where pastoral care sits within your school - is it a means to an end to solve problems as they arise, or are you looking to develop within your school pupils' ability to self-regulate & manage their own emotions & experiences?" @connoracton: routledge.com/Pastoral-Care-…

A good question: "Do we have staff who are experts, or frequently successful, when holding difficult or challenging conversations, & if so do we capitalise on their expertise for training/guidance of other staff?" @connoracton in routledge.com/Pastoral-Care-… @routledgebooks
Connor Acton retweeted

"The issue of how we manage the behaviour of students can be an incredibly polarising one, & as with most polarising issues, there is always middle ground to be found...I stand on the side of balance - children thrive upon consistency & predictability." @connoracton in 👇
The best part of the job is developing others.
"Part of your role as a pastoral Middle Leader is to develop those around you & to ensure that the staff who are working with you have opportunities to grow." @connoracton suggests some strategies for doing this in his new book: routledge.com/Pastoral-Care-… @routledgebooks
