How to relax this summer

How to relax this summer…. think back: As summer approached, you were giddy with excitement over the camping weekends, day trips, and holidays you planned to pack into the summer holidays.

Now it’s nearing the end of term and your excitement has waned, being replaced with fatigue from the go-go-go of the last academic year. Do you really want to start Autumn in a state of mental and physical exhaustion? No one says you can’t have a great summer filled with fun activities but balance them out with some well-deserved rest and relaxation that doesn’t require you to plan, travel, or spend money.

Here are six easy ways to really relax and reset this summer.

Get reading

Instead reading about The Great Fire of London, The Gruffalo, or books about ‘How your body works’, go and put your feet up with a good book. Colleen Hoover is a favourite author of so many, but if you like something a bit darker, you can’t beat a bit of Stephen King!

Get creative

Some like to journal, others like to paint, or knit, or do pottery. Find your thing and while away the hours developing a masterpiece of your own. (no PVA glue or crepe paper allowed!)

Local events this summer

No need to travel to have fun! Be a tourist in your own back garden (relatively speaking). Throughout the summer, every county is filled with many varied activities for families. Follow these sites for more details on what’s on in your area –

Gloucestershire – www.exploregloucestershire.co.uk

Herefordshire – www.eatsleepliveherefordshire.co.uk

Worcestershire – www.visitworcester.co.uk/

Walk

Stretch your legs and clear your mind. The Cotswolds and the Forest of Dean offer some outstanding places of natural beauty. The question is, how will you choose? These websites will help you to decide and give more information on the surrounding area, places to eat nearby and available parking etc.

Forest of Dean and Wye Valley – www.visitdeanwye.co.uk/things-to-do/walking

Reconnect

How many friends and family members have you said over the past year or so, ‘we must have a catch up’? We know – we are just as bad! Try and make time to schedule those meet ups, even combine them with a walk (see above!) or meet at a local event (see above!) or do a pottery class together (get creative, see above!)

Sleep!

Let this summer be the time you prioritise sleep. Not only is sleep crucial for your physical and mental health, but it’s also free! Simply go to bed earlier or stay in bed a little longer. You can even schedule a cat nap, as we all know that a quick 20 minutes can make a huge difference!

Whatever you plan to do over the summer holidays, we hope you make time to rest and recharge the batteries.

Interview tips for a teaching role

We are often asked for interview tips when applying for a teaching role. So, to help you prepare for your Teacher interview, we have put together six tips that will give you a good base.

Interviews are an essential part of the job application process, and for teaching role, they can be particularly daunting. However, if you have made it to the interview stage, it means that the school is already interested in what you have to offer. The purpose of an interview is not just to test your technical knowledge, but also to assess whether you will fit in with the school’s ethos and work towards its goals.

Research the School

Before your interview, take some time to research the school. Find out what makes it different and why you want to work there. Look at the school’s website and local news articles to see if they have won any awards or started any new initiatives. This will show the interviewer that you are genuinely interested in working at their school.

Think of questions to ask in the interview

Prepare a list of questions to ask during the interview. This could include questions about the school’s culture, goals, and how you can contribute to them. Writing down your questions beforehand will show that you are prepared and interested in the role.

Prepare your pitch

Think about what makes you stand out as a teacher. Consider your teaching philosophy and style. Prepare examples of how you have made a positive impact in previous roles. This will help you sell yourself to the interviewer.

Look like a teacher

Dress smartly for your interview, but make sure you are comfortable. This will help you feel more confident and relaxed during the interview.

Be confident

Try to be confident during your interview, even if you don’t feel like it. The interviewer wants to see that as a teacher, you can command a classroom and engage with students effectively.

Relax

While it’s important to show that you can take charge of a classroom, it’s also essential to show that you can put your pupils at ease and work well with your colleagues. Try to be relaxed and friendly during your interview.

We hope our interview tips for a teaching role have helped! If you’re looking for a new teaching role in a new school, we would love to hear from you!

How staff can help each other with mental health and wellbeing

An issue that extends past one day or an awareness week, we discuss what you can do as a teacher to help each other to raise awareness and help to improve wellbeing within schools.

The theme of this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week is ‘anxiety’. Anxiety is a normal emotion in us all, but sometimes it can get out of control and become a mental health problem.

It should come as no surprise that school staff are experiencing more symptoms of poor mental health, with 77% experiencing symptoms due to their work.

We also know that great relationships at work can help you to deal with and share the stresses of school life.

Top tips to help a colleague who needs support –

Adapt your approach

Adapt your approach to each individual – remember not everyone communicates in the same way and what works for one person won’t work for another. If they’re finding it difficult to express themselves, let them know that you’re there when they are ready. Simply giving someone space to talk, and listening to how they’re feeling, can be really helpful in itself.

Be open

Be open and honest. Making yourself approachable can be pivotal in helping someone. Let your colleagues know that you can see they might be struggling and you’re there anytime that they may need some support.

Ask questions

Ask your colleague if you can help or if they need anything. Try and encourage an open dialogue, resisting the urge to simply ask how you can ‘fix’ the issue and focus on guiding conversations and ask instead how you can improve circumstances or make things better.

This can help pinpoint specific issues and often enables you to resolve them more efficiently than dancing around the subject.

Be kind

Express your empathy. Often the greatest gift we can someone else is the gift of empathy. It can sometimes be difficult for colleagues to show weakness at work, so be kind and take the time to listen and to offer reassurance.

Just be there

The organised chaos of a typical school day makes it hard to find the time to speak to a colleague who seems to be struggling, especially if you are also feeling the strain of work and life in general. Taking the time to just be there can really make a huge difference to someone’s day or even week and may even also help you to have open conversations and to share familiar struggles in the classroom.

The lowdown on NQT teaching jobs.

NQT’s ask us ‘When should I start looking for my first teaching job?’ a lot, and this is an interesting question. You started your PGCE in September and your fellow students are already talking about finding a job by December. This can make you feel rushed, but our advice is not to rush into it.

There’s a lot to consider when applying for your first teaching position. We hope this blog helps to answer some of your questions and helps to get your applications off to a great start.

When should NQT’s Apply?

Teacher positions can of course open at any time, but most commonly after Christmas for a September start date.

The peak time for applications though is between the start of March and the end of May. This is because Easter is the deadline for teachers to hand in their notice for the current school year. Some schools will advertise as early as January, while others may advertise as late as June or July, due to unforeseen circumstances.

It’s worth applying for roles, either permanent or temporary (or both), as soon as you’ve submitted your dissertation. Seeking a temp role as soon as you’ve completed your dissertation will allow you to:

  • Earn money in a relevant role
  • Gain valuable experience in a variety of schools while applying for permanent roles
  • Learn new skills
  • Boost your CV, helping you to stand out from the competition

The teacher recruitment timetable: what to do and when

Autumn term: Start looking early and don’t just apply to any school. Consider what’s important to you, the ethos, site, size and catchment of the school you’d like to work at. Autumn is a great time to do some research on the schools in your ideal area and to attend university recruitment fairs.

December and January: Local Authorities advertise vacancies and may have closing dates. In January, schools start directly advertising vacancies.

January to May: This is the busiest period for recruitment. Register with websites to receive updates on the latest opportunities. Make applications to teacher registration schemes and databases.

Consider registering with an agency for supply work. This experience will be incredibly valuable, giving you more to put on your CV to stand out, allowing you to gain valuable experience and another bonus, earn money.

31 May: The final date before which teachers leaving their jobs in the summer must resign, so more jobs appear around this time.

Where to Look

Most primary schools will advertise on their local authority website (look up local council education jobs) and in the local newspaper.

Secondary schools tend to use job websites.

Agencies are great resource also, with full-time and part-time contracts available, which could work around your studies and other commitments until you’re ready to start a new role in September. The more flexible you are, the more work you can get. As you get to know them more, you can work with the agencies to tell them your preferences and strengths.

Applications and CVs

Schools may have their own application form they would like you to complete. Sometimes this is a form set by the local authority. Other schools may request a CV and cover letter. Often the most difficult part of the application is the personal statement. This is where you explain why you would be the best candidate for the role.

Be very specific when completing the application form – tell them what you’ve done, focusing on your successes and giving as many examples from your time in the classroom as possible.

Personal statement

Write a strong 300 to 400-word personal statement; show you’ve done your research and understand something about the school you’re applying to, talk about your course and what you’d personally bring to that school. Get some feedback on your form before you send it off.

Here are a few helpful tips to tick off as you write your personal statement:

  • tailor your application to the school, for example their ethos, Ofsted report and latest exam results
  • visit the school, as many recruiters view this as a part of the application process and it can help you to see if you would want to work there
  • get it proofread to ensure there are no spelling mistakes
  • ensure your employment history has no gaps and if it has make sure they’re explained
  • tell them what skills and extracurricular opportunities you can bring
  • convey a passion for teaching
  • evidence your success, where you bring added value and have met targets.

Managing Expectations

Finding the perfect role can take time, and sometimes it takes a while to get into the flow of interviews. Some people will find this easier than others. It’s important to persevere and have someone to talk to who can support you during this potentially difficult time.

Good Luck!

Mental Health – How You Can Help

With mental health awareness becoming an ever-pressing issue in our day-to-day lives, it seems fitting that each year we dedicate specific time to addressing the subject. An issue that extends past one day or awareness week, we discuss what you can do as a teacher to help both colleagues and students alike to raise awareness and help to improve well-being within schools.

World Mental Health Day

Ask The Questions

The stigma around mental health is slowly diminishing, however people are often still too afraid to ask. Get to the root of wellbeing issues in a school by asking the questions, whether that be through online surveys or 1:1 sessions with individuals. Resist the urge to simply ask how you can ‘fix’ the issue and focus on guiding conversations and ask instead how you can improve circumstances or make things better.

This can help pinpoint specific issues and often enables you to resolve them more efficiently than dancing around the subject. From this, you can take the time to talk and utilise school therapists to help get the best out of staff and pupils. For the majority, mental health problems are treatable should they be detected early, so take a time out and make this a priority.

Make it normal to talk

Its often difficult for children to express exactly how they are feeling, so make it easier by naming emotions and feelings in a way that children will identify with. Enabling the development of emotional intelligence will ensure that issues can be raised clearly. Try doing this through photo cards or a range of interactive activities to cement the process. Invite children to talk about how they’re feeling by asking questions such as “you look upset today, how can I help?”.

The organised chaos of a typical school day makes it hard to find the time to assign additional time to speaking to a student or colleague who seems particularly disheartened or low, however this is perhaps a more pressing issue than that never ending pile of marking sat on your desk. Taking the time can really make a huge difference to someone’s day or even week, so this mental health day make it more normal to talk.

Controlling emotions

The journey of learning emotional intelligence isn’t an easy one, but a key element is to develop specific strategies to regulate and control these emotions. This world mental health day, devote a few hours to talk and develop awareness into what your students are feeling and why they feel it. From this, you can assist in establishing a set of exercises that they can do to suppress this, whether that be star jumps or colouring.

“When adults support and encourage young children as they take risks, face obstacles, and grow from failure, young people learn how to bounce back from life’s ups and downs.”

— Marilyn Price-Mitchell, PhD (Quotes About Resilience That Foster Children’s Determination and Self-Confidence).

Make yourself approachable

When it comes to discussing personal mental health, making yourself approachable is pivotal in being able to help someone. Take part in a mental health first aid course and educate yourself around managing each situation, or simply make it known that you are there for students and colleagues should they need you. Encourage activities that allow students to get to know each other and you and make an effort to find out and show interest in what students get up to when they’re not at school. Everyone’s favourite topic is themselves so start the day with an open dialogue to ignite a positive feeling from the outset.

Make Use of Online Resources

As a crucial issue making significant headway in becoming an integral part in the school curriculum, there are some great online resources available that you can integrate into your lessons. Of course, teaching resource site Twinkl features a plethora of free to download activities, from positive affirmations to mindfulness and breathing exercises. Additionally, charities such as Young Minds understand the juggling act that teachers re having to go through on a daily basis and are fighting for all young people to get the mental health support they need, when they need it, no matter what.

If you’re looking for a new challenge or change of scenery, Initial Education would love to hear from you so please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us via email or call us on 01452 740001.

Celebrating Diwali in the Classroom

Creative ways to celebrate Diwali in the classroom

Every year Indian communities come together to celebrate the religious holiday Diwali, the celebration of lights. This year, the five day festival spans from the 21st of October to the 25th, providing a perfect opportunity to educate children with a range of literature, food and values that originate from the Indian festival.

The celebration of lights does just that, championing light over darkness and good over evil, lighting up homes across the globe. There’s more to Diwali than just putting up some lights, if you’re looking for creative ways to celebrate Diwali in the classroom, carry on reading as Education Recruitment Agency, Initial Education, have come up with their favourite ways to bring even more magic to the festival of lights.

Host a Mela

A Mela is a type of Indian street fair where local residents come together to sell their home grown produce and handmade goods. Providing the perfect opportunity to ignite student’s creative sides, hold an arts and crafts lesson or day to create pieces that students can later trade in a year group-wide or school wide Mela. Not only does this inspire imaginations, this creative way to celebrate Diwali teaches children about significant ancient artifacts an sculptures synonymous with the religious festival.

A Festival of Lights

You can’t celebrate the festival of lights without a nod to the beautiful clay candles lit by Hindu, Sikh and Jain households alike in honour of the goddess of wealth, Lakshmi. Allow students to decorate the classroom with clay tea light holders and LED lights to illuminate the room throughout the 5 day festival. If you want to go a little further, introduce the magic of rangoli patterns to the class, perhaps by using coloured pencils or pens instead of sand at first to keep the mess to a minimum.

Share Stories

Include students in story time by sharing Indian stories behind the origins of Diwali and encourage students to share their own anecdotes of what each tale reminds them of. Ask students to interpret the concept of light over evil and how this occurs in their everyday lives, perhaps even ask them to bring in an object that symbolises that concept most to them. Creating relatable situations, particularly for younger children, during story time can aid in magnifying the impact of the tale you are telling and encourages a collaborative atmosphere that can create personal connections to the legend.

Food!

In line with the brightness theme, sweets are an integral part of Diwali celebrations, with the second day of the festival typically dedicated to the buying and sharing of sweets such as Halwa. Allow children to make their own sweets and take it in turns sharing tasks such as mixing to make sure that everyone gets a chance to be involved. Simple sweets to make include coconut Burfi sweets, made out of desiccated coconut, condensed milk and food colouring. Be careful of allergies as many traditional Indian sweets contain nuts and milk as a base, so be sure to read the ingredients list before sharing.

Other, more savoury snacks include bhajis, pakoras and samosas. Set children the task of going home and baking traditional Indian snacks over the weekend ready to bring in on the Monday.

As an education recruitment agency, we’d love to hear about the creative ways that you are planning on celebrating Diwali in the classroom, whether you’re an experienced teacher, ECT or teaching assistant, just get in touch via email, Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter and be sure to tag us!

Anti-Bullying Week in Schools

Anti-Bullying Week in Schools – One Kind Word

Throughout the week commencing 14th November, schools across the country will be celebrating Anti-Bullying Week, an annual event dedicated to raising awareness of bullying. As with Black History Month in October, this awareness event should not be limited to a week, however Initial Education, an Education Recruitment Agency, have come up with their top ways in which you can mark anti-bullying week in schools and make a lasting impact that gets children talking for weeks to come.

One Kind Word

This year’s theme centres around the concept of ‘one kind word’, creating the perfect opportunity to frame your messages around positivity and inclusion when discussing anti-bullying week in schools. Alongside combatting bullying, this theme was derived to highlight the importance of everyday kindness, helping to eliminate the issue at its roots. Encourage students to say one kind thing to each other every day when they come into class and ask them to pin point one positive aspect that they have got out of their day when the day comes to a close. Teach kindness and empathy from an early age and be sure that children will carry these values with them throughout their lives.

Anti-Bullying Week in Schools

Odd Socks Day

The week will kick off with Odd Socks Day on Monday 14th November, where adults and children where odd socks to celebrate what makes us all unique. A concept that encourages children to celebrate and embrace their differences by standing out from the crowd wearing odd socks to school.

For older children, the buzz on social media is an important part of Anti-Bullying Week, and a great opportunity for schools to share how they’ve embraced the anti-bullying message. Get involved via #AntiBullyingWeek and #ReachOut on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and Twitter.

Get Talking

As the saying goes, a problem shared is a problem halved, so invite children into open discussions about what they think constitutes as bullying in order to educate them on key principles. Highlight issues concerning race, ethnicity, gender and appearance and emphasise that the use of prejudiced language towards someone as a result of one of these factors is unacceptable.

Additionally, building on social and emotional intelligence through having in depth discussions on bullying, children will be able to better spot clear patterns that lead to this unacceptable behaviour, helping to eradicate it from the classroom. Let children know where you are should they feel the need to speak up and dedicate a hour a day, perhaps in lunch or break time, to set aside to listening to those who are struggling.

Go Online

As always, the likes of Twinkle and the Anti-Bullying Alliance are on hand to provide some fantastic resources designed to bring Anti-Bullying week to life in your primary school. Indeed, both associations have teamed up with the BBC this year to create engaging and high quality resources designed to combat bullying.

We all play a part in preventing bullying and right now, with the rise in technology and online activity, it is now more important than ever to raise awareness and draw attention to the destructive behaviour that is bullying. As always, as an education recruitment agency we would love to hear your stories as to how you have marked anti-bullying week in your school. Whether you’re an experienced teacher, ECT or teaching assistant, share your stories with us via Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter!

It goes without saying that if you are interested in a career in education, get in touch today. With supply and longer term teaching roles in Worcestershire and Gloucestershire, we will be able to find the best opportunity to suit you.

Black History Month Resources For Your Classroom

The leaves begin to change and Autumn well and truly settles in as the month of October arrives, and so does the month in which we celebrate the best of black history. First occurring in 1987, Black history month is a fantastic opportunity to educate students and bring awareness to some of the greatest snippets of British history, no matter their background.

Beyond simply raising awareness in school assemblies, there are a plethora of creative avenues to explore in the classroom to get children engaged in black history. This month we will be celebrating the very best of black history month and sharing our tips on how to integrate it into the classroom.

Black History Month

Black British Stories

Young children spend years idolising those around them and the BBC has created a series of short films dedicated to significant black individuals in post-war Britain that children can relate to thanks to the use of like-minded children taking on the role as interviewers. Incorporating elements of their school PSHE curriculum, these stories help to build on a more visual approach to student learning. Spanning from identity to culture and community, these short films cover a broad range of topic areas that might otherwise be left fairly undisturbed.

Black History for Schools

With topics ranging from black presence in the Tudor times and the East India Company to the Apartheid, this resource is fantastic to get a basic understanding of key events in world history that significantly impacted our lives today.

Explore Great Literature

Literature such as Twain’s ‘The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn’ and Kathryn Stockett’s ‘The Help’ remain classic staples in the teaching of the African American journey through literature. Indeed, Twain depicts a young uneducated, adolescent who possesses the heart and conscience to understand the immorality of slavery, demonstrating that anything is possible with a little kindness. Not only an informative and educational piece of fiction, this novel can instil key values into children that will be crucial throughout their school careers.

For a more modern take in literature, take a look at must reads such as Eddo-Lodge’s ‘Why I’m No Longer Talking To White People About Race’ or Sulwe by Lupita Nyong’o.

Twinkl Resources

Aimed at Key Stage 2 children, Twinkl has done much of the leg work for you and has put together an in depth PowerPoint celebrating black heroes past and present, from Mary Seacole to Sir Lenny Henry. What’s more, there are plenty of flyers and further resources available on the Twinkl website, so there’s bound to be something that will fit in with your lesson plan. Keep it simple and perhaps stick a few posters up around the classroom to get children engaged all year round.

Education Through Film

Just like a good book, films are a fantastic way of engaging and educating children in an emotive and relatable manner. From brilliant classics such as The Colour Purple to more subtle tales such as the Princess and the Frog, Into Film has compiled a list of the best films to use for students of all ages this Black History Month.

Whilst fantastic that we are able to denote a whole month to celebrating black history in Britain, it is crucial that schools and teachers are able to move beyond this and integrate such integral issues into a diverse curriculum for students. Indeed, promoting diversity and inclusion has perhaps never been so important and empowering stories and resources such as these do not solely exist throughout the month of October, small changes can make a big difference to the overall picture.

Are you getting involved in Black History Month at your school or do you have a fantastic resource that we haven’t shared? We’d love to hear from you, just get in touch via Facebook, Twitter  or Linkedin!
