*I originally created these posts for the micro-blogging education site Staffrm, which shut down mid-2017. I wanted to re-share these early forays into the blogging world but have not edited any of these posts from their original form. *
Confession: I’m a little bit of a Twitter-holic. I love following the national conversation on Twitter (more on this in another post) and I love taking part in that conversation too but reading from the shadows is often all I feel I have time for. My Pocket is overflowing with saved articles and Feedly is brimming with my next potential read. As for my bookshelf, I’m slowly making my way through the titles but have a long way to go. Don’t even get me started on my Amazon wish list of edu-books. Currently, I am studying for my Masters in Educational Leadership with the University of Warwick and am a Primary Fellow on the Teaching Leaders Programme working towards NPQML. I am also Chair of the Teach First East Midlands Action Network and try to stay as involved as a Teach First Ambassador as possible. Oh, and did I just hear someone say something about having a life outside teaching? I love my job. I love doing my best to make a difference in children’s lives. I love getting better at what I do. And, if it wasn’t already obvious, I also love throwing myself into the wider teaching community. But doing all of this doesn’t leave much time for much else right now including (micro)blogging. When it comes to tweeting, I tend to do it in fits and starts generally around events I attend or policy announcements. I always intend to get more involved in #SLTchat and #PrimaryRocks but life and all that often seems to get in the way and I forget! So here is my mid-year resolution: I will carve out the time to write a micro blog every so often and I’ll tweet a little more frequently. How am I going to find the time to do this? Time will tell but for now, this is a good enough start for me. *A few months later, Staffrm closed its doors for the final time and so my mini micro-blogging adventure went on hiatus. Different priorities took over until I decided to start this blog again now - in early 2019.*
