Fair enough. That's not always possible given the geography etc.. I do always recommend people change school before they leave the profession though.

If you have read Unlocking Teacher Development and enjoyed it then I would really appreciate it if you could write a short Amazon review. As a self published book it's never going to be top of the charts so reviews really help establish its authenticity. ,🙏

I know it's unpopular but the last week or so I just get restless.

Want to get stuck back in!
