The summer term can be a strange time of year for those in the teaching profession. A time of high highs and some very low lows with intensive revision lessons and exams combining with the long “empty” days of untutored study leave as the normal school day starts to disappear and we ebb towards the holidays.
As such, it can be tough to retain the school day’s structure and pupils’ focus, particularly for those young people who are not going through tests or exams this year.
Given this, teaching now requires the ability to balance supporting those who are struggling desperately with revision, testing and exam stress while at the same time motivating others who are perhaps preferring to focus on the summer holidays ahead rather than on their studies.
