Thank you both for your replies... Congrats on being offered a permanent post, meli!! I'm all about the bellringers in my classroom... I also noticed that when I was at Reading Girls School as well... Were you able to bring a lot of materials from home? I have several binders/teaching resources I would love to have over, and once I know where I'm teaching/living, plan on mailing a huge box to a friends address...
To me, it sounds the same as if I were teaching somewhere around Ohio... Making it to December would seem key... :-) Establishing a rapport and routine with the students, etc...
Could either of you elaborate on this paperwork I hear about so much? As in formal lesson plan paperwork or IEP kind of paper work, or??? |

| Hey just a quick question, what is a bellringer? I am completely unfamiliar with that term. lol sorry if I'll seem daft after its answered! |

It ("Bell-ringer) was a new term for me, but something we of course have always done in the US and here . . . it's a starter activity, something that the kids do as soon as they enter the classroom, while you take the attendance register, etc.
Regarding the previous discussion, I came here on a permanent contract (well, a four year contract . . . I have to get QTS in that time to stay forever). Other people come here on a temporary contract, hoping for something permanent when their short-term contract is up. |
