How to Research for an Interview at a School
Just like any other job interview, preparation is the key when it comes to landing your ideal teaching role. But along with practicing your answers to common interview questions, it helps to know a little bit about the school you could be teaching at too.
This is because it shows your enthusiasm for the role and why you are the ideal candidate. What’s more, it also tells the school that you are willing to go the extra mile, something they will no doubt want from a potential member of staff.
Child Safety Week 2017 – What you need to know
As you may or may not know, Child Safety Week is the CAPT’s (Child Accident Prevention Trust) flagship community education campaign, which aims to raise awareness of accidents that injure or kill children and how to prevent them.

Creativity In The Classroom – Helps Early Years
Remember when going to school involved sitting up straight in a classroom while the teacher pointed at the chalkboard and asked you to recite what was written? Well, as we now know, this wasn’t exactly the most enjoyable way to learn and not particularly effective either.
Thankfully, today’s generation has access to more engaging materials and modern technology such as tablet computers, which means that traditional teaching techniques are being increasingly left behind.

Top Tips: Teachers Setting Tests
Regular testing of students is an excellent way to determine their comprehension of the material being taught in class. It allows teachers to identify any areas of the curriculum which students are struggling with and to identify individuals who are struggling.
However, for a test to be valuable, it must be well-structured, free of bias, consistent and fair to all students. Here are some useful tips to help you prepare high-quality tests that will give you valuable insight into your students.
Making Maths Fun
Most children are naturally inquisitive and interested in learning new things. Unfortunately, this principle does not always apply when it comes to maths! Many children find the rote learning of mathematical tables and memorisation of mathematical formulas to be boring. It’s no wonder memorising an abstract mathematical rule is far less exciting than reading a story, playing music or learning more about history.
Top Tips on How to Make a Job share Work
Job sharing has become increasingly common in the education sector over the past 10 years. It is an innovative new approach to employment that involves multiple teachers sharing a single employment contract. They share all aspects of the position, including its responsibilities, benefits, hours and vacation days.
How the contract is split can vary, ranging anywhere from 50/50 to 80/20. This type of arrangement is often preferred by teachers who are returning to the workforce after a pregnancy or illness. Job sharing is also used by teachers who prefer a more flexible work/life balance.
