Wondering if anyone has experience with moving abroad to teach? Currently 29 & thinking about moving to the Middle East to teach next year but worried I’m too old to make the move! Know I need to start thinking now #teaching #teachabroad #TeamEnglish @TeamEnglishNC @EnglishWales

I decided to go for this & have a final interview for a HoD role. They seemed keen & told me I was a strong candidate. But I’ve a holiday booked until the end of August (might be moveable). How would you navigate this in the interview? @educatorabroad @MsConnellTeach @SimonPobble

Is there a job where you can eat cake and drink coffee whilst reading books that pays a decent whack? Asking for a friend.

Someone told me a few days ago about a colleague who keeps a standard bag of Maltesers in her desk drawer at work and makes them last all week, and I'm so mind-blown that I keep thinking about how this is humanly possible.

Any other teachers feel like they binge eat when they get home? Be it a tough day or workload stress, I always find myself craving junk food on an evening to comfort me 😢 any advice?! Struggling with motivation atm too 😭

Looking for some new reading comprehension strategies. Can anyone help out? So far I have the reciprocal reading strategy and using the 5Ws to summarise but was hoping to trial a few more! #TeamEnglish @TeamEnglishNC @Team_English1 @OLSP_Literacy @EnglishWales @FunkyPedagogy

Hi all, I’m making the decision to go for it! However, I’ve booked a holiday next summer 18 Aug - Sept 1st. I’m going to hazard a guess that schools in the Middle East don’t honour holidays? 😬 it may have to be a Jan ‘24 position 😢 @NeilMaidment2 @MissTurnerChem @MrHagan85

Yesterday, we published a report about struggling readers at secondary school. Reading is a fundamental life skill. But only 10% of disadvantaged pupils who leave primary with poor reading skills get a pass at GCSE English and maths. 🧵👇 (1/7) gov.uk/government/publicatio…

Wow, thanks so much everyone for the responses! It’s so great to hear from so many people that have enjoyed it; you’ve all made me so keen to go!! I’m reaching out to connections to help, ones which many of you have suggested, so thank you. Ahhh, I’m so giddy! 🤞🏼🥳

Also, I totally recognise 29 isn’t old. I simply worry about wanting to settle down & leaving it too late. But as some people have said, it might be that I meet someone there! I think I’m scared deep down & need to make the jump 🙌🏻 thanks again to everyone for the encouragement🥰
@MsConnellTeach @TeachDramaDani @teachmiddleeast know anyone that can advise?

Anyone else really struggling with work? Worked late every night this week setting up SOLs/lessons/strategies for next HT. That’s without time to mark books/mocks/etc 😢 just feel like I’ve been so irritable this week & worried what people think of me #teamenglish @EnglishWales

Had a fabulous day at the @Ambition_Inst Conference today to kick start my NPQ in Leading Literacy. Thanks to @MissAddymanEYFS & Jo for leading a wonderful session 🙌🏻 I’ve already gained a lot of knowledge to take away for literacy projects in the pipeline @LeedsEastWay 📚 #NPQLL

Thank you #TMEngicons for the opportunity to speak today! Loved having the chance to present on what I've learned this past year. The other speakers have been absolutely 👌👌👌
Up now is @KatePretsell, talking about improving writing at sentence level. It's great to hear how small changes can make a big difference.

Thinking about how to run library lessons next year 🤔 what I’d like to do is a class reader followed by short activities to develop oracy. Thoughts? What do other people do in their library lessons atm? #literacy #English @EnglishWales #TeamEnglish #edutwitter @Team_English1
