Diary of an NQT: Three basic rules

NQTs
As lessons get underway, the strict adherence to three basic rules is helping our NQT diarist to maintain a consistent approach with all his students

Well the week has started and as I write this diary entry we are now on day two.

It turns out that covering boards in your classroom takes a strange level of skill. However, after fighting the roll of brightly coloured backing paper and the funny frilly borders I finally have a presentable classroom.

And, even if I do say so myself, my room looks the best it has ever looked. It is strange how coloured paper and some fresh posters can change the feel of a room and really make it feel like your own.

Having Monday off timetable with my form group for the first two lessons of the day was great! I have a lovely tutor group (so far), although I can already see some friendships forming that I can tell are poor choices.
