Back to school blues is a real thing for students and staff. Stepping back into the classroom after the break can be challenging, but it's also a chance to ignite curiosity, foster growth, and make a difference. Embrace the fresh start and opportunity to inspire your students!

Too many teachers continue to work at full tilt in the holidays. But, taking time to rest isn't a luxury, it's a necessity. Prioritize yourself and your loved ones during breaks. Your well-being matters too and the students benefit when you return energised.

Vaping in schools is a serious and growing issue impacting our students' health and education. Teachers need support from students homes to tackle this challenge together. Building strong home-school relationships is crucial for our children's well-being and success

Effective behavior management in schools is a delicate balance – staying firm but fair, and being consistent. Children thrive when they know where they stand, they struggle when they feel the teacher is unpredictable

Starting the week as a tired teacher can be tough, but the impact we have on our students is worth the effort. Find that motivation, inspire young minds, and make this week count! Good luck

There are certain days you know your ‘to do’ list is going to be longer at the end of the day than it was at the start! #UpHillBattle

Breaking through behavioral barriers in schools demands a hard look at resilience. Without it, addressing student conduct is like pushing a rock uphill. Resilience education is key for lasting behavior improvement

Teaching children the skills to demonstrate resilience is crucial for fostering positive school behavior. Embracing failure as a stepping stone teaches invaluable lessons in perseverance, adaptability, and the resilience needed to navigate the challenges of the classroom

Out of interest, what is your average working day wake up time?

How many people have left work to the last minute, ruining their Sunday before the next half term starts? 🙋‍♂️

Teachers, as half term approaches, remember the power of rest & rejuvenation! Take time for self-care, unwind, and recharge. A well-rested teacher brings renewed energy to the classroom. (That and you already work bloody hard enough and deserve a break!!). #TeacherWellness

Starting the day positively as a teacher isn't just a mood boost for you, it sets the tone for a ripple effect of positivity in the classroom. Your energy and enthusiasm (as hard as the act can sometimes be) becomes contagious, creating a vibrant learning environment for students

Embracing phone-free schools promote meaningful face-to-face connections, and enhances attention spans whilst supporting authentic engagement, academic advancement, and reinforcing positive behavior. I can’t think of many compelling arguments for allowing phones in school?

A mobile-free classroom fosters a focused learning environment, encourages face-to-face interactions, and creates better attention spans. Banning phones in mainstream schools paves the way for genuine engagement and academic progress and also supports positive behaviour

Building relationships with the home, where possible, is vital. Very often parents may be moaning in front of their child and this empowers them to misbehave for ‘that’ teacher.

Children not only need clear boundaries - they like them. They like knowing where they stand. They like knowing what the expectations are. Avoid grey areas and negotiating.

Supportive funding comes too late for students. Tens of thousands spent by county councils on children at high risk of being excluded rather than little and often of proper early intervention. It’s just a sticky plaster on a wound. There still isn’t a forward thinking strategy

An Egress email mid chain - I can’t be the only one that finds this frustrating 🤦🏼😂

Radiating positive energy as a teacher is so important at the start of a week, a positive classroom atmosphere not only boosts student morale but sets the stage for a positive day. Your energy ripples through your students!
