#TeachingHero

11/4/2018

Our latest #TeachingHero is @Peter_M_Higgins. Give his interview a read below, and if you'd like to get involved, let me know!

What motivates you to work hard?
Knowing that I have the potential to make or ruin a child’s day helps me stay focussed and keep striving to do the best I can for the children in my care. Remembering how I supported a child to turn around their school experience last year reminds me to keep looking for the good and cut myself some slack on the tough days.

Where do you go for personal and professional support or advice?
I am blessed to work at a school with a strong and support SLT. I know that I can be honest and open when asking for advice or support. The School SENCO is a good person to talk through challenges with and seek advice/reflection from without judgement.

What strategies do you use to manage workload and protect your well being?
Our School promotes cooperation and supportive relationships within both year group and Keystage teams. I don’t know where I’d be without my colleagues. We share planning, discuss judgments, and have a laugh. I try to work hard in the week so I can play hard at the weekend with my family. I go running and attend the staff bootcamp at school on Wednesday after school.

What advice would you give anyone who felt like giving up?
Listen to feedback/advice from SLT. Find a friend at school who you can be totally honest with and support one another. Help each other to identify and choose a couple of key targets within the area that feels tough (time management, work-life balance, behaviour strategies, etc)- and work on those a few at a time. Be honest and accountable.

Sum up our profession in 5 words.
Living love to see growth.
