My Crown Publishing Teacher Day book haul 😍 thank you! Going straight into my ever-growing CPD library.

Hit a wall today and having a wobble. Keep trying to motivate myself - only three weeks left and I have to get through observations next week... But I'm losing the will. I'm sure it's just a bad day but can't help feeling demoralised...

2023 was a really challenging year for me and my little family - illness, loss, grief, worry. But 2024 is looking brighter thanks to this little bump. Counting down to meeting them! (Hoping the pregnancy sickness goes away soon... Being sick at work is not ideal!!)

My school are advertising for a History teacher to cover my maternity leave. Supportive department and lovely students! Based in North Devon. tes.com/jobs/vacancy/t…

Officially finished ECT1 this week! And in style with an excellent observation that got a shout-out for one of the elements in our Friday Shout-outs - which was lovely even if it made me go beetroot red. I'll have time to complete one more ECT term before mat leave! #ECTChat

To celebrate the start of the new academic year I am giving away a copy of my new book Is Leadership A Race? Want to win? Retweet this tweet. Winner announced Sunday @ 9pm

COMPETITION- I'm giving away 3 signed copies of The Behaviour Whisperer, to help teachers improve behaviour as the academic year starts. Simply RT to enter. Lucky winners will be drawn out on the evening of Thursday 12 Sept.

Settled into life w/ a newborn, now starting to enjoy the extra time I have to read during contact naps while my 3yo plays w/ dad or is at nursery. Going to make my way through this brilliant book (several chapters in & learning so much!) Also reading Olusoga's Black and British

My new notebook for recording my mat leave CPD notes arrived! It's so good to have time to actually read and learn and develop ideas. It's something I try to do when I'm at work but I don't manage as much as I'd like.

Calling all students! Daunted by the prospect of archival research? Sign up to one of our upcoming (onsite) introduction days, tailored to support those who want to get started with postgrad/academic research: nationalarchives.gov.uk/about/our-rese…

Nap-trap reading for today - latest Impact from Chartered College of Teaching arrived! Looking forward to this one, hoping to set up a teacher journal club once I'm back from mat leave 🤞 so this edition is extra exciting! #NerdAlert
