Well thank you 😉
I'm taking a bite of each one after the other...

Yes. 😜

A3 I just mentioned this!! Must be on the right track 🤣😊

Paramount. Without the relationship, then it is virtually impossible to impact behaviour or understand what the behaviour is communicating #NewtoSLTChat

Hmm... how to communicate this in a post...

I guess all expressions of need are "behaviour" - but this can be weaponised by some to say that firm boundaries or expectations shouldn't be placed on some children #newtosltchat

A1 I think this is tricky.

Behaviour can absolutely a form of commination. But i do feel there are instances where this may not be the case.

This is why building relationships and understanding the children we teach is key #NewtoSLTChat

Agreed! Culture is such an important part of a school. Get it right, it’ll be an amazing place. #NewToSLTChat

A2 Big thing leaders do is set the culture. Yes there are other bits they can implement, but if the culture is right and supports teachers, that goes a long way #newtosltchat

I think that this shouldn't be an expectation. In fact, every teacher should try and get away early once a week. Yes, things need to be kept on top of - but I get in early so I can leave early for my family #NewtoSLTChat

#NewToSLTChat A1 Though I'm out of schools now, I know the bugbears are meetings that could be emails, high stakes observations, expectation to be in school until X o'clock.

Monitoring, reports that can just be used for the same purpose is a particular area #newtosltchat

A1 Unnecessary paperwork, in particular paperwork that is repetitive. Some data work is important - but I've been in schools where work is duplicated #NewtoSLTChat
