28.12.2022 - I've been attempting to finish a couple of books before the end of the year and updating my journals. I should probably be working on my essay but I'm so tired that I can't face it until term starts again.

Currently reading: Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott; Rhythm of War by Brandon Sanderson; The Red and the Black by Stendhal

I am a studyblr but I have NOTHING cute to say about my studying experiences.

I will say that I am proud of myself for actually sticking with it and not completely losing the will to live because yet again, the institution have let me and my mental health down. 

The transphobia I experienced while on school placement was honestly soul destroying. I got moved to another school and was expected to just pick myself up and keep going at like double the rate from my previous school placement.

I couldn’t access counselling as they only operated during school hours when I was teaching. I don’t think they really understood how desperately I needed counselling, especially after that experience. I am still processing it months later. I will always be wary of schools that say they are “welcoming” now.

I had ZERO protection from harm from my university, even my peers were blatantly transphobic to me and when I reported them, they were not pulled up on it. 

The only person who was my champion and understood what I was going through was this extremely successful headteacher of my lead school who stepped UP and got me out of that situation and put me with his husband in his class and if it wasn’t for that allyship and solidarity I would not be graduating tomorrow.

Oh yeah, I am graduating tomorrow! My family are not attending. It will be just me and my partner. I am learning to not expect anything from my family anymore which has been extremely lonely because this has been one of the hardest years of my life and they were not around, never checked in on me, and when I phoned them in pieces they just said I would be fine. I wasn’t fine, I am not fine. I am strong as heck and I pulled myself through.

I made it. I did all my assignments and now I am on the other side knowing I can only count on myself to get through life’s challenges, but that it is safe to reach out and there are some real amazing people in the education system and I cannot wait to connect with more of these incredible professionals.

I am a qualified teacher in PGCE Primary with QTS (tbc this summer aaaaa)

I am sorry that I don’t have a nice fluffy thing to say about my studies, but the reality is that it wasn’t fluffy and I nearly quit and had a terrible experience. But I still made it. I am still qualifying! I am proud of myself and have never felt this resilient in all my life

You got this, and when things are the worst, they will get better, but reach out and speak out, say what you need to happen and make sure it does.

Assessment in Primary Science

Assessment is at the heart of teaching and learning. It allows teachers to make informed decisions about the needs of our learners in order to make further progress. There are two main types of assessment: formative and summative. Formative assessment: Runs alongside the learning and informs the teacher and the children about next steps. Summative assessment: Takes place at the end of a block…

Honest truth: I'm bloody terrified of going back into my study again.

I'm excited to ace this, but terrified of just being suddenly dropped again.

21.01.2023 - I've been finishing off the last of my essay reading before writing my plan tomorrow. I'm bored but plodding along now I have just over a month before submission. Abstract thinking about how to teach history is worse than actually planning a lesson...

Not happy with the fact it's -3°C... I'm freezing cold, so I'll be spending the evening shivering in bed with Twelfth Night.

Currently reading: A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K Le Guin; Twelfth Night by Shakespeare; The Red and the Black by Stendhal
