New year, new learning? Resolutions for teachers

Pedagogy
As a new year gets underway, Sean Harris speaks to teachers about what resolutions we might make for improving our teaching and learning habits

Happy new year! So, did you make any resolutions? Are you struggling to find time for those tummy crunches on the classroom floor at the start and end of break duty? Are your staffroom biscuit cut-backs as severe as the school budget cut-backs? Have you been falsely informed that marking a multitude of books is a good way to burn a lot of calories?

Research carried out by YouGov in 2017 found that only a quarter of Brits who make new year’s resolutions manage to stick to them. By the end of the spring term, almost 50 per cent of people have abandoned at least one of their well-intentioned resolutions that they set in January.
