Disclaimer: I am definitely not a pro but I have been through quite a journey during my first year teaching and these are the things that turned it around for me and allowed me to end the year with a better work life balance and strong love for the profession
1. OBSERVE -as many different teachers as you can, as often as you can. Just because you aren’t a trainee anymore doesn’t mean you can’t set observations up yourself - this was hands down what had the most positive impact on my teaching this year and helped with specific problems

We have made a formal complaint to the BBC.
dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8…
Tanya Carter says : “The BBC is promoting a damaging ideology to children. In so doing, they are breaching their own guidelines on editorial impartiality and the 1996 Education Act, which stipulates that an education provider cannot promote a political ideology to children”.
See our previous thread here
@bbcbitesize deleting your tweet & then retweeting with replies disabled is not a solution to you promoting political ideology to children. This is against new @educationgovuk guidelines. We will be writing to @GavinWilliamson & @BBC to complain. @Baroness_Nichol @Tanni_GT #LGBT
This is also still available on the @bbcbitesize Facebook page. It has not been well received. @KateGreenSU @KemiBadenoch @LordPhilofBrum @BBradley_Mans @JackieDP @RosieDuffield1 #edutwitter #WomenED #SLTchat #NQT #ukedchat #teamenglish #LGBT #safeguarding facebook.com/12896626378036…
The image chosen to illustrate the article on twitter & Facebook appears to show a mixed sex changing room. Mixed sex changing undermines #safeguarding.Here is the full article from @bbcbitesize. There are a number of concerns with the article itself. bbc.in/3mbwd66
One of our supporters has successfully challenged her children’s school on their use of the Genderbread figure in #RSE. This graphic goes against latest @educationgovuk guidelines.

The new @educationgovuk guidelines state that external resources used by schools must be ‘evidence-based’ & that ‘materials which suggest that non-conformity to gender stereotypes should be seen as synonymous with having a different gender identity should not be used’ #edutwitter

Safe Schools Alliance support good quality inclusive #RSE & #PSHE for all children. This must be biologically accurate, #safeguarding compliant & correctly represent U.K. law. The materials we have seen from many providers do not do this.
It is the responsibility of each individual school to ensure the suitability of any resources that they use with pupils. They must also comprehensively consult with parents. We will be releasing more guidance shortly on which organisations do not comply with new guidelines.

This video is great for Reception & KS1 alike to explore adding one more and finding one less to a range of numbers. Opportunities to explore number magnitude, order of numbers & practise lots of vocabulary.

Just under a year ago, Laura Dell focused on the skills needed to tackle the KS2 SATs Reasoning papers by looking at ‘representing’ and ‘re-presenting’ maths problems: Read more here: hertsforlearning.co.uk/blog/ks2-sats-…
This KS2 game focuses on place value, decimals & rounding & can be easily adapted to add support/challenge. Despite the simplicity, there are lots of opportunities for pupils to apply other mathematical skills &through careful questioning:

Reactivating and building on from learning from year 1 is going to key and this blog includes simple but effective ways of using games involving dice, dominoes and cards: hertsforlearning.co.uk/blog/dice-domi…

This blog first published in 2018 remains popular, with practical examples of how to develop manageable and meaningful mathematical recording in KS1: hertsforlearning.co.uk/blog/year-1-ca…
This is great for Rec & KS1 children. This is a tug of war style game where children get the chance to explore adding one more and finding one less to a range of numbers. Opportunities to explore number magnitude, order of numbers & practise vocabulary.
Year 4 can sometimes feel like the ‘inbetweeners’ of primary. Not quite UKS2 but miles away from KS1. It's a great place to be though & we have created a Year 4 thread to support teachers, NQTs, newbies, returners & experienced LKS2ers… #primarymaths #NQT #edutwitter #mathschat
The NC expectation for the end of year 4 is recall of multiplication facts to 12 x 12. This blog provides practical advice to support the recall, and crucially the understanding, of the times table facts: hertsforlearning.co.uk/blog/starting-…
The video demonstrates how the remainder game can be a fun way to explore what happens in division. Children explore the number in each group (when sharing) or the number of groups (when grouping) and remainders.
Who's in year 3 this year? The step into KS2 can be a big leap for some pupils. We have created a Year 3 thread of some of our best bits to support teachers, NQTs, newbies, returners & experienced LKS2ers…

As pupils move into KS2, gaps in a true understanding of place value can creep out. This blog examines how securing regrouping ten ones for a ten when counting up, and regrouping ten ones for ten when counting down, can support more complex calculations: hertsforlearning.co.uk/blog/cant-calc…
Fancy a game? ‘How to place race to 100’ is perfect for reactivating knowledge from year 2 and providing an invaluable assessment opportunity:
1. Keep it simple.

Just spent 1/2 hour in the ☀️ colour coding my planner so that I keep on top of marking and homework. I don't know how anyone does it without a system 🤯
Pink = set homework
Green = collect books
Yellow = collect/check homework
Red pen = books to mark
#geographyteacher #NQT

I definitely rotated that image. Och well.
I have this system because I like to be really organised, keeps me clam with all the other NQT stresses.
Also, I got quite a lot of grief back in September (September of my NQT) for having missed my 2 week marking target for one class

Double marking on a Thursday because I like to get out as early as possible on a Friday.
This system ensures every class is marked/whole class feedback prepped every 2 weeks, and that every class gets one piece of homework every week.
Started using it after Oct half term.
