@emma_au_soleil @mtptproject Retention not recruitment crisis. #motherhoodpenalty #FEParents
In today’s education news... can you be an effective teacher and a good mum?

📢 #FEEnglish #FELiteracy where are the best resources for a new 16-18 yr olds E1/2 class, potentially with initial and diagnostic assessments. Jan to Jul. Focus requested to be on reading. Other teachers doing other areas. Think thrown into a role with the info above.

Returning to a workplace after a number of years is bizarre. I left due to my Dad being ill. I've returned as a mother of two. With a wealth of teaching experience in the UK under my belt. First day went well. #mtptproject #returntowork

Another great catch up, on individual reads together. A variety of topics but common themes were identified. Focused looks in the photo! We did smile and laugh too. Question : What connections do you draw between your text and other texts you've read? #fereadingcircle

I just realised that I hadn't updated my location on here. I am officially a resident of Spain, thanks to my husband. Reverse paperwork after he came to the UK to help my family. No thanks to Brexit on any counts! Back working from September. CPD for social media and VA.

Always one to not reinvent the wheel Anyone got any tips, documents or notes of support for someone who is about to become a new head of a department including learning technologies. Collate information about your team without being "another thing to do"? #FE #FEParents

A shout out to #FE people! I'm looking for where the workforce census is for #FE in relation to teacher retention, reasons for leaving, age groups, workforce level, maternity/paternity etc. #MTPTProject #FEParents

#ESOL #EfL #initialassessments Does anyone have any initial assessments in online forms format? The self marking kind they are willing to share before reinventing the wheel? Feel free to DM me!

I find travelling gives me space and time to think. Last week, in half term, we went to see some of our family. Sea air is lovely. Memories. #FEReadingCircle #FEParents

A professional trip to support a colleague and share best practice. A trip down memory lane 25 years after getting my A Levels! Sporting my #FEReadingCircle hoody in an #FE environment. Talking #FEParents too.

Working flexibly and from home means I get to spend a bit of time with #2 on the day and drop off #1 at school and be present for return from school. Last week consisted of normalising breastfeeding one meeting at a time! A parent does what a parent needs to do. #FEParents
