I’ve been holding on to this for some time now but it feels like an appropriate time to open up.
I don’t have depression. I’m not medicated but I do find so many things frustrating and this gets on top of me too often for my liking. I’ve been teaching/leading for over 15 years & I’d class myself as a very good teacher - not outstanding but highly effective.
I enjoy making a difference to the lives of those I teach and I try my very best to leave no stone unturned in my pursuit of excellence for the children I teach. It’s not always about fancy resources or lesson structures but the little things you do across your time at a school.
I work with some fantastic “people” but too often they think quick fixes work better or that novel one offs that get a rise from the children are more effective. They don’t prioritise the small things: relationships with parents, making an effort to be consistent.
