Students in secondary schools modify their behaviours according to the teacher they are with.
They want teachers that are strict but kind.
And they know the teachers that genuinely care about them and their learning.
Miss S Butler retweeted
As a rule of thumb, kids like the teachers who really like them. So it’s kind of important to like the kids.

One of my Higher classess completed the Imposters challenge today, becoming "SQA staff" for a double period to create a brand new 10 mark exam paper for Higher PE📝
So impressed with the section 3 style analyse questions - what an effort👏

After more feedback from pupils & slight changes to how I teach pupils answer structures, I have updated my Higher Command Word help cards again❗️

We used our hand eye coordination to successfully play 2 different serves!
We then had to decide what serve to use based on where our opponent was positioned🧍♀️

✏️HIGHER COMMAND WORDS✏️
Spent some time today updating my Higher command word help cards to reflect student feedback from using them last year and also change my explanation of certain questions 💻
Also a bit of re-branding with my new school logo and colours 🎨
What a brilliant first week @PeeblesHigh 😁
Amazing pupils & fantastic staff alongside a real sense of community & an inclusive learning environment 👏
Went "down the high street" after school today & pupils were all saying hi and waving - what a lovely end to the week 😊
After 4 brilliant years I had my last day at @newbattlehigh on Wednesday 🥲
It still hasn't sunk in that I'm leaving @NewbattlePE but I'm so excited for my new adventure in August 🥳
Thank you to all staff, pupils & parent/carers for your kind words, cards & generous gifts ❤️

Today @NewbattlePE said goodbye to two superstars. @MissmannionPE leaves us for the sun & sand of Dubai, whilst @MissButlerPE moves to the less sunny but equally as fabulous @PeeblesHigh. Both have been innovative, inspirational & supportive colleagues. We wish them well 💙PE
A little bit of personal news...
I will be leaving @NewbattlePE @newbattlehigh at the end of term after 4 brilliant years 🥲
Delighted to share that I will be starting @PeeblesHigh in August 🥳
Was great to get down and meet the team today 😁
