So, my first step onto the career ladder for the new academic term began with a teacher training day. In fact, it began with two.
A nice welcome into the school as myself, as opposed to “miss” or “ma’am”, where I was able to meet my future colleagues and briefly be taught the ropes – everything from the headteacher’s office location to where “we” sit in the newly developed staffroom.
I have been “cliqued off” already within my department for coffee time – I am yet to decide whether this is a positive or negative development!
When visualising my first day, I maybe saw it slightly differently to how it seemed to pan out. Birds weren’t singing (although the sun was shining!) and the school seemed strangely desolate without the students.
