Before returning to work on Monday (just 5 days ago?!) I wrote about my experiences of shared parental leave. More thankful than ever that I haven't had to return this week with both kids in FT childcare and my husband at work @maternityCPD @kinzalouise mtpt.org.uk/family-friendly-…
🎙️How do you teach teaching to teachers? How do you get your colleagues to do it the way you want them to? What do you do when it doesn't go to plan? 🎧Listen to @Josh_CPD Sarah Martin and Carly Mitchell @OasisSouthBank tell all on @WeAreInBetaPod weareinbeta.community/posts/…

I LOVED listening to this from the brilliant @CheltTeacher - some of it was like talking to myself during my first mat leave when I also felt alone being a new mum who wanted to hold onto career aspirations. So pleased you've found the right school to enable you to do this 💪
📢 Well this is exciting! Here’s the @WeAreInBetaPod episode that tells the story of my maternity #CPD school visits with 👶 🍼 with @FKAEnglish sharing how to go about this as a school & be family friendly. @maternityCPD #MTPtTproject open.spotify.com/episode/5BZ…

Never think that you are shirking or compromising for working #parttime. The happier, healthier and more fulfilled you are, the better you will be as a leader b/c you will be able to manage situations calmly and with perspective #MTPTchat

Y6: "Miss, will you make us a Shrek beanie please?" Mrs Dowie: "When we get out of lockdown, I’ll make the whole of Y6 a Shrek beanie!" Government: "Children will return to school on 8th March" Mrs Dowie: 🤦‍♀️ 😂😂😂

The job of a teacher is to educate & inspire our future generation. To make the world a safer place for all, sometimes we just have to be a little bit brave. Acceptance without exception. Here’s my small bit for history. #LGBTHistoryMonth @stonewalluk bit.ly/3aOrVif

I couldn’t agree more with the sentiment of this message 👊🏻👌🏻 (and I’m also 31 🙃🤫).
"Society’s percieved milestones shouldn’t affect how we view women. I’m 31, single, childfree, all my possessions fit in a few suitcases, and I’m happy. Don’t let anyone’s rulebook or judgement define you." Artist and words by Lainey Molnar 👏
