Up and running

NQTs
The pupils have finally arrived in the classroom and our NQT diarist is focused on ensuring her behaviour expectations are clear right from the start.

I’m up and running. I have started facilitating lessons and now it feels great. 

With all the planning and organising in the world it is being with the pupils that matters to me. I have begun to see those faces; whether it’s excitement, interest or confusion I love it more than anything. 

Many of my first few lessons have consisted of the “getting started” stuff – handing out exercise books, talking through expectations and course/term topics. 

I am now starting to see pupils for the second, third, fourth time and this is lovely. They know where to sit, how to behave and are ready to learn.
