New blog - a review of the amazing Jennifer Webb ‘s How to Teach English Literature: Overcoming Cultural Poverty because it taught me so much and EVERYONE should read it 👌🏼 theroadtoinclusion.wordpress.com/2021/09/01/rev…

Could not actually believe it when Nyasha sent me this article. ‘Not racist’ U.K. let’s a white terrorist read instead of jail time. Is this a new program for all terrorists? I’m sure this will make everyone in the U.K. sleep well at night 🤦🏼‍♀️😤

Teacher interview and tests done... feeling probably the least confident I’ve ever felt - a few questions stumped me and I had to wing it 🤦🏼‍♀️ Hopefully I’ve done enough or it’s back to Bristol to teach!! 😂

Had my first casual teaching day today and I could cry with happiness. It was with stage 1 kiddies and they were too cute. Very different to Secondary English, but a welcome change... especially as it’s gotten me out of the house for the longest time in 2 months!

Forgot how HUNGRY I get after a day at school 😂

The perfect metaphor for what Johnson and Co. have done to Britain.

*takes mask off to eat* Kindy kid: Why is your nose so big? Me: I grew it myself Kindy kid: oh. Are you a witch? How did she find out?! 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

I want to read both. asap.

I've got a temporary position as an English teacher at a high school for Term 4. Met the head of department today and she's super lovely... got a lot to be cracking on with now. Excited is an understatement - can't wait to start this new challenge!

Review – This Book is Anti-Racist by Tiffany Jewell theroadtoinclusion.wordpress.com/2021/10/13/rev…

The school I’m working at is having a well-being day next Tuesday. My brain can’t compute this - I don’t need to set lessons, the students are set well-being tasks & I’m free to prioritise my own well-being?! This needs to be a thing everywhere. I’m obsessed.

If I were living in England, I would still be at this school. Such an amazing team and such a lovely school. Such a great opportunity for any English teacher!
