Thinking about it

[mrswashi]

Hi all. I am currently working part-time, 2 days a week. I have been at my school for almost 8 years and have had 2 children in this time. I recently went back to the same class. The staff are really low at the moment and I am not feeling very motivated.

vantages -

• no job security
• early morning calls (urgh!)
• work could be sporadic - tends to be quieter at beginning and end of term
• if you go through an agency, you have to pay them commission (working direct with a few schools is much more preferable)
• may have a longer journey

Could you stay where you are and do an extra day or 2 supply (at the same school or at a neighbouring school?)

Can I add this

Advantage - you don't have to go back to a class/school if you don't want to/don't like it. Ooooh and no team meetings/after school clubs etc.

vantage - you don't get to build working relationships with people and often feel a bit outcast at schools who can sometimes be a bit unfriendly. And behaviour management can be difficult

More additions

Advantages

• no reports
• no display
• no parents evenings
• no subject leadership
• no IEPs, IBPs etc

Disadvantages

• behaviour management can be more difficult
• you don't know you way around, where resources are, you may not be able to use IWB, not familiar with times
• some schools are not supportive or friendly
• you don't have the lovely rapport that (once in a blue moon) happens with a class and get the satisfaction of seeing how much progress they make.

• no display
