Hello, hello, hello everyone! 👋 Firstly, I hope everyone is well and looking forward to the first term of the new academic year! A group of us met tonight with Patricia and came up with the idea of creating a page where we can ask and answer questions, share ideas and support one another. I’ve used Padlet to create this, and hopefully both ECTs and experienced teachers will use it and contribute to the page. You can ask questions, answer someone else’s question, upload pictures of ideas or resources, share something that has worked well in your classroom — it can be absolutely anything (obviously education/teaching related! 😂). Hopefully, this can become a useful space where we can all share our experiences, ideas and knowledge with one another. 😊 Also, yes I am currently up at 23:00 UAE time doing this... the grind never stops. https://padlet.com/ryanmadley1_1/teaching-support-vzlb1o8gjrnthvyo

Who can join me tomorrow ( Monday ) at 7.30pm for a getting to know you chat. I’ll post a link on here tomorrow- come and join me if you can 😊😊
