A TYPICAL DAY

My day starts at 8am, although like my colleagues, I am in earlier to get set up for the day and check in with the team. I have a duty this morning, getting the learners in from the buses from 8am. Today I am teaching 3 out of a possible 5, 60 minute lessons. I often spend time when I am not teaching in the flexible learning spaces to support colleagues and collaborate on how we can create the best learning experiences for our learners. I prioritise building learning-focused relationships with the team to create a mutually supportive environment in line with The Nexus Way. I use a non-contact period today to update the new scheme of work with some changes we agreed to in our last departmental meeting. I also explore how I can better communicate the curriculum to the community through the new learning management system. At lunchtime I go to the cafeteria and eat with colleagues from across the school. After lunch I have another non-contact to follow up on an email from a parent who has some questions about an upcoming assessment. The Head of School pops in to ask about an application I have made for Professional Learning. The teaching day finishes at 3.25pm and today I am running an after-school activity with technical lego in the Makerspace as this is a passion of mine! After I return the learners to the cafeteria to be picked up, I head back to my learning area to collaborate on some planning, complete some marking and check my emails.
