A non-teaching friend of mine recently read the NQT diary entries that I have written for SecEd since taking up my post. He pointed out that I had referred to my own personal and professional satisfaction with teaching several times throughout the year, and this led to a discussion about why I find the job to be so fulfilling.
I confess that it is not something that I had stopped to consider in depth and my friend has challenged me to explore the nature of this fulfilment in more detail.
I certainly think that I have responded positively to the increased workload and responsibility that has come with being a qualified teacher.
