Keen to start conversations with those in #education about all things '#school' but mainly #behaviour and how we can support children. Will always follow back!

Trying to teach on a windy day is like herding caffeinated squirrels Learning goals: survive

Back to work in education after a break is tough, new routines, full inboxes. It’s tough for students too. Many need extra patience, structure, and support as they settle back in. We’ve got this.

The end is in sight! 🎄✨ Hanging on for that final push before a well-earned break — coffee, teamwork, and sheer willpower doing the heavy lifting now!

Christmas can be overwhelming for some children, changes in routine, sensory overload, and big emotions all at once My advice is simple-slow down, stay curious, and offer choice wherever possible. Small adjustments and connection can make the season feel safer and more manageable

Teaching math and reading is one thing… but somehow teachers are now responsible for teaching ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ too. The job keeps expanding, but the appreciation doesn’t.

Working in education hits hardest when you’re tired and run down - somehow the next break is always a couple weeks too far away.

Encouraging children (and homes) to take ownership of their behaviour and consider what they could do differently is as vital as making reasonable adjustments to support them. True inclusion balances accountability with support.

Confiscated several vapes this week. What surprises me most isn’t the number of students caught - it’s the number of parents angry that I won’t return them. We really do have work to do together.

Two days back into teaching and I’ve already aged three school years. #TeacherLife

First day back after half term and I already miss my nap schedule, my snack schedule, and my ‘not talking for 7 hours straight’ schedule. #TeacherLife #SendCoffee

One of the most unspoken acts of bravery in education? Telling a parent the truth when it’s hard to hear, about behavior, effort, or accountability. Not to blame, but to advocate for the child. It’s not confrontation. It’s courage. #TeacherLife

All behaviour is communication’ - often said, but is it always true? Or has it become a blanket excuse for avoiding accountability? Sometimes a meltdown is a message. Sometimes it’s just impulse, habit, or testing limits. Both can be true

Only one week to go until half term. Totally calm. Not frantically marking, surviving on caffeine, or quietly whispering ‘just five more days’ into my planner. Everything’s fine. #TeacherLife #HalfTermCountdown

Dear NQTs, the tiredness you’re feeling at the end of this half term? Yeah, it never leaves. Welcome to the club, coffee helps. #NQT #TeacherLife

Is it just me, or does the start of the week hit hard, like a surprise Ofsted visit?? Hang in there, everyone - we’ll find our rhythm by Wednesday (😬 hopefully 🤞). #BackToIt #SchoolLife

In education we are constantly mopping up the leaks instead of fixing the pipe. Students with academic or behavioral needs deserve proper early intervention. Without viable alternatives, we’re firefighting, not teaching. Our students deserve better. The system needs fixing

Weekend goals as a teacher: not grading, not planning, and not hearing my name 87 times an hour. Just me, snacks, and pretending Monday doesn’t exist!

Working in education we see it daily: social media and smartphones are stealing childhood. Kids are anxious, addicted to validation, and struggling to focus. It’s not just “screen time” - it’s shaping their brains, relationships, and self-worth. We must take this seriously.

In schools, strong teams make the biggest difference. Back your colleagues, especially when it comes to behaviour. Consistency, support, and solidarity are essential. We’ve got each other’s backs, because we’re in this together #EduTwitter #Teamwork

Everyone working in education is carrying more than we can see - workloads, pressure, and care for every student. Let’s lift each other up, check in often, and be the support we all need. Schools thrive when staff stand together.
