NQT Special: Diary of an NQT – term one

SecEd’s NQT diarist writes every week detailing the trials and tribulations from her first year at the chalkface. Here, she looks back on her first term at the successes, failures and lessons learned...

I can’t quite believe that we are (almost) a third of the way through the year.

As the climax of the first term draws ever closer, I would like to sum up a range of things that have gone well since September – and also some things that have not gone so well! Hopefully, there are some commonalities between your experiences and mine.

I am also thinking ahead to next term when I want to give myself some manageable goals to focus on. I think this is really important. I find that it is quite easy to get caught up in the classroom routine and forget that there is still lots of personal development and growth for me to gain this year.
