I am writing this on a Monday morning, during my first free period of the week.
I wanted to get this up and running after a long weekend of planning lessons and getting myself prepared for the week ahead, especially after a long week of OFSTED visits last week!
My intentions for this blog are to provide an insight into my teaching life, and provide some support for the classes I am currently teaching. Whether this be revision support, homework support or just general guidance and help with learning.
A bit of background about me:
I am 23 years old, a recent graduate of Bishop Grosseteste University in Lincoln (no one has ever heard of it, it's only a tiny university but specialises in education studies and teacher training). I moved from Tameside to Lincoln and back again, wanting to set up roots near my hometown.
I have landed on my feet quite nicely this year. I am only an NQT, and have ended up teaching back in my old high school. It's definitely odd being back here as a teacher, but it feels good being in an environment I know I am comfortable in to set myself up. My classes are all wonderful (wonderful doesn't negate challenging though), and I really feel as though I am making a difference to their education.
It's far from easy, but with my colleagues' support and guidance, I know I can become the teacher I want to be and provide all the kids I teach with a quality maths education. I am looking forward to my career ahead and building this blog from the nothing it currently is to the support network for my lovelies that I hope it can become!
