Welcome to my blog!
This will feature my ramblings about my job as a teacher. I say 'job', because that is what it is. It can be very life consuming if you make it so.
Just to tell you a little bit about myself. I'm from the UK. I graduated with a Psychology degree and a Masters in health psychology, with the original view of becoming a clinical psychologist, work for a few years, then become a psychology teacher in the future. That plan didn't work out so I trained on a PGCE in Birmingham in 2011-12, did my NQT year (it was also my first year being married!) and for my second year landed a job in South London in my dream school. It was all a bit of a whirlwind, but being the spiritual person I am I felt it was all part of a bigger plan and everything had fallen into place quite nicely :).
I'm not sure exactly how I want to treat this blog, but it will be general ramblings of my day-to-day life (not too much though - have to protect myself and others around me!), maybe touch on some issues like achieving the work/life balance, OFSTED and jumping through hoops, giving tips and snippets on issues in schools, behaviour management, maybe some funny things children have said. If there are topics you would like me to write about, please leave your suggestions in the comments and I will be happy to post about them!
Disclaimer: By no means am I an outstanding teacher, or label myself as one - I am simply doing the best job I can and if the senior staff think I'm doing a great job then so be it. I have learned so much in my 1.5 years of teaching (as of Feb 2014) and I feel like I want to pass on little nuggets that I have learned. I struggled as a trainee and I really don't want people to have the same horrific experience I did. I could do another post it and tell you all about it!
More soon!
Mrs K.
