My Starters For Five

When I first heard about Starter for Five, I was instantly taken by the idea - short, concise, fun... perfect for the busy, new teacher.

"Starter for Five is a UK based advice blog for new teachers. Each post gives 5 quick pieces of advice on a particular topic for new teachers and trainees submitted by experienced teachers. Use  search, tags and categories to look up the topics you want to know about."

As such, I have tried to provide some insight into some of the stuff that I was never told as an NQT. I posted my first 7 contributions under my old handle, @iteachre, so I thought I would collate them here for your reading. Enjoy.

• The Photocopier 
• Beards
• The Pub
• Staff Footy
• Facebook
• Hot Weather
• Outside Speakers

• Using TFL to commute for the first time
• Key People
• Tea

Some of these have had a ridiculous number of views - much more than my usual blog postings. Thank you.
