This is for that English teacher who’s burning out/working all the time. I remember feeling very similar my first year of teaching. My roommate from teacher’s college & I were talking and she commented saying that she was reserving one day a week for just “me” time. She would go to the movies, watching TV, whatever. But it was FOR HER. Not school. It sort of woke something in me and I started to do the same. It helped a LOT. Give yourself some “ME” time. Even if you think you can’t afford it

Your blog is brilliant btw! I was wondering how you decided to teach the subject you do as i wish to teach in secondary education but am still torn between several subjects? In terms of current qualifications i’ve kept my options fairly open by pursuing all the possible subjects i wish to teach, however for my degree i’ll have to narrow it down greatly and i just don’t want to regret what i chose. If you could get back with advice it would be appreciated. Thanks for working hard as a teacher! :)

Thanks for your comments!

For me, it was my major and minor in my Bachelor of Arts degree, but I have earned many more qualifications since then.  Research your area to see what you can do with qualifications after becoming a teacher.

Hi, I’m currently applying to graduate school for a Masters in Teaching degree with a concentration in Mathematics. I plan to teach high school math. On my application there’s a place to upload a personal statement and a resume, but there’s five additional spaces to upload any other works that may be relevant to my assessment. Would you upload anything? If you did what would you include? I already have an online teaching portfolio, so I’m debating about including more work.

Always showcase what you have done.  Include some highlights from your portfolio that will catch their attention.

Good luck!
