Taking a few more risks as NQTs

NQTs
With the autumn term under her belt, our NQT diarist resolves to take more risks this time around, especially in a bid to really stretch those gifted and talented students.

As teachers, we have the capacity to over-think a fair amount, which is why after last week’s diary entry I belatedly decided to create yet another more personal new year’s resolution – to become a little more spontaneous, or “less time thinking, more time doing”.

So far, my resolution has seen me get a tattoo, (which I vowed I never would), travel hours across the country visiting my distant friends, and book an American road trip for the six-week summer holiday (the stability of being able to plan that far ahead is certainly a major perk of the education industry. That road trip has become my motivation for getting through the copious amounts of paperwork!).
