  • Ep 8: Managing behaviour

    In this episode Scott, Sarah and Mrs H discuss the art of behaviour management! An area of teaching that is always much-feared by student teachers and NQTs, you'll hear what strategies have worked well for us, what Sarah has found useful as a supply teacher and our thoughts on reward systems and getting children's attention.

    What strategies do you use? What would you never try again? Maybe you've got strategies that we didn't mention in this episode?

  • Ep 7: Being an NQT: the inside story - with Chloe Butcher

    As you get ready to start your NQT year you might be wondering what others will think of you. Will you have a really supportive mentor? Do you still have lesson observations? What other support will you get from outside of your school? What is different if you do your NQT year as a supply teacher?

    In this episode we are joined by the wonderful Chloe Butcher, an experienced teacher, External Verifier (EV) and NQT Professional Learning Day lead. We discuss all things related to being an NQT and Chloe gives her expert inside knowledge on what you can expect from your mentor and EV, as well as some very useful advice that she would give herself back at the start of her career. It's a must-listen for any NQTs!

    We know you're going to love listening to her, let us know exactly what you thought @vision4teaching on Twitter. We love hearing your feedback! You can also follow us individually @MrsH_primary, @SmartTeach20 and @MrHannTeach. Please do subscribe to the podcast as well, so you never miss an episode!

  • Ep 5: Planning

    This episode does what is says on the tin - it's all about planning. We know that for NQTs, planning is one of the biggest causes of stress and anxiety. How do you plan a topic? How do you use 'pupil/learner voice'? Do I have to write lesson plans? 

    Scott, Sarah and Mrs H talk all things planning, including tips and advice that they have picked up during their NQT year. Hopefully this will answer some questions you may have, as well as giving you a few pointers to get you started. 

    Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast as well, and if you've found it useful why not recommend us to a friend? Also, if you have any questions or thoughts about planning after listening to this episode please get in touch with us on Twitter @vision4teaching - we love hearing from our listeners and helping as much as we can! Is there an aspect of planning we didn't talk about? Have you had any really good or bad experiences you want to share with us? Drop us a message - we'd love to hear from you!

  • Ep 4: Starting life as an NQT - what to expect (Part one)
    We've talked a lot about your NQT year, but how do you get started? What will that first term be like? Or the first day? What sort of things do I need to be thinking about now ready for my first week? Do I need to change all of my display board before 1st September? What about if I'm on supply? What will it be like going to a school for the first time?
    All of these questions will be buzzing around the head of an NQT right now - we know because we were the same! 
    In this episode we discuss all of those things and more, hopefully settling some of the nerves you may be feeling whilst answering some burning questions. We know we can't fit everything into one episode so this is just part one - if there are topics or questions that you'd like us to cover in part two then please let us know @vision4teaching on Twitter! 
    Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and follow us on Twitter, and keep giving us your feedback! We are always so grateful for any feedback we receive because it helps us to keep improving!
