Your Worries
What is/are your biggest worry(ies) at this moment in time?

Personally, I'm scared I won't pass the induction (NQT) year of teaching. It's all based on evidence (such as "Teacher knows how to use innovative teaching styles", "Teacher knows how to teach challenging, well-organised lessons") which goes into a big fat folder.
Normally I'd have until the end of the Summer term (June/July) but as I officially have done 1 term in my last school, before I got cancer, I have to have it all finished by Easter. It's pretty stressful as writing up and collating evidence is very time-consuming.
As well as getting all the evidence, I have one "final assessment" where one of the deputy heads comes into my lesson and watches me teach. I need to get a reasonable grade (minimum: "satisfactory") and if I don't, then I effectively fail and won't be allowed to teach ever again. So it's quite a big deal, just based on this one lesson!

Apart from that I don't have many worries, except for the obvious one of "scared that I'll relapse". I live quite a sheltered, comfortable life.


Share your concerns and worries with the rest of the forum! -100 internet points for jesting/ridiculing at the expense of others! +100 internet points for offering advice and reassurance! :bluepeter:
