Special delivery for me yesterday from my favourite engagement platform! Thanks to the @quizizz team for my prize! Shared some stickers and keyrings with our three biggest Quizizz fans in school Mrs A-D, Miss M and Mr Y!

A brilliant last day of term with pupils enjoying the Christmas Service, our annual FHS in the Hall with the addition of a fantastic Staff Panto. Huge thank you to everyone involved. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year @FalkirkHigh. #weareFHS #Article31

Thanks again Scott! I’m off to tinker with my 3D printer tomorrow and see if I can get it to behave!!! I will persevere this time, I promise!
Great to see you Scott @TheDesignClass at the @Scottish_TTA conference. Loved the CPD on 3d printing. Use so much of your materials in the department from your website. Have bought you a coffee to help. Would encourage as many of you can to do the same!

Queen Anne are one lucky, lucky school to be getting Miss P. I am absolutely gutted we haven’t got a space for you next year. You have been such a blessing this year and that feeling is very much mutual from our pupils too. You’ll be sorely missed!!! ❤️
Our new S4 have organised a wee get together to say goodbye to our lovely @MissBusEd1 who will be leaving us to join @QahsCdt in the Business Department. Fair to say she’s well loved and will be missed!

Come join our fantastic team! No experience necessary. I joined as a probationer in 2010 and have been on the committee ever since! My sister joined as a student teacher too and we used to car share and go for cake afterwards. First meeting is this Saturday in Glasgow.
We are urgently looking for new members to join the TTA. We are looking to get the conference up and running for this year and are looking for new members to help. If you would like to know more please let us know!

Something I don’t think is discussed enough - how important it is for middle & senior leaders to remember what it’s like for a teacher ‘on the ground’ to teach full period days, often for 2-3 days back to back. Also, the accompanying markload, and inevitable cognitive fatigue. – at Mountain Ash, Wales

Two days into October holiday fortnight and I’ve made a dress, made “Parent’s Night” name plates for the dept, done all my marking, decorated a S1 CDT project, prepped for a 4th Birthday Party and spring cleaned everything in my house. Where is this energy during the term?! 🤣

It’s not about being the best teacher or being the most research informed or being the flashiest, it’s about being able to be a teacher - day in day out, year in year out. That’s what the powers that be and many others have never got. Experience and resilience count. A lot.

New Year means a new lanyard. Had to be space themed! Love a bit of late night crafting! 🤣🤣🤣

Getting a little stressed out that I don’t have a correct timetable for starting back at school next week. I have a version from before the holidays that is wrong and I’ve printed a copy from our registration program but it’s got too many free periods on it. 😭

I feel like every year it gets more complicated and later and later. Being dual qualified means it could include 6 different certificated subjects anything from N5-AH or 6 different courses for BGE. 🤯 not to mention wider achievement classes. 🙈🤣

This. This. A thousand times this. Hated this in school.
FAO teachers in Scotland back at work next week. Some of your pupils had an awful summer- were hungry, felt isolated, & they didn’t go anywhere nice. Don’t force them to write or talk about their summer. You could ask them what they are looking forward to this year instead 👍

Never have I ever seen 102 Secondary Teaching jobs advertised during the summer holiday. WTAF 😱

Interlinked smoke alarms are a great idea… until you set them off cooking and can’t get them to stop screaming at you in stereo across your whole house. 😭🙈😂

Looking like next year I’ll be running a group for Young Enterprise for the first time since 2016. Any advise from those currently running it? #youngenterprisescotland @YE_Scotland #enterprise #level6
