I don't know who needs to hear this but... I haven't sorted my classroom out yet. I haven't covered any boards or done displays. I haven't planned the term as I haven't met with year group partners yet. I am an ok teacher, it will be ok. Don't try to measure up to social media.

Part of me is excited to be back to #school tomorrow but the other is already anxious about whats ahead. Ignoring COVID, anyone else get that before back to school. I always feel like I could of done more and should of had less of a break? #dtchat #educhat #secondary #teacher

My article in D&T practice about the #teacher in residence scheme with DATA..... learnt so much from the professionals! Great scheme to be involved in! Bringing #industry into the #classroom #design #dtchat #educhat #school #secondary @DesTechRyan Design & Technology Association

Thank you so much for the chance to showcase the amazing work DT teachers do and impact we have on the world! Can’t wait to promote teaching and showing the power design and technology has on a child’s life #dt #dtchat #education #school #secondary #teacher #design #school

I love teaching and 99% of the time I feel I’m good at it but wow this last week... anyone else ever feel like they just aren’t good enough? This year has just hit different... how do you shake that feeling off? #educhat #education #dt #secondary #teaching #school #teacher

Too true 😂😂😂 #teacher #school #dt #lockdown #secondary #education

Realisation of the day... you never teach the same lesson twice! 😳 even if you have the same lesson, you’ll always have different kids... crazy! #teaching #secondary #design #school #education #dtchat
