I returned to teaching in September after 6 years off having babies and I just can't get my confidence back.
I'm 0.6 so I hardly have any ppa time and no time in the evenings or on days off to plan lessons really well. I feel like I'm just delivering crap lessons. I'm behind with marking and writing new schemes.
Because I'm part time I've missed inset days, when there's usually time to get your shit together. I miss all the dept meetings so I never know what's going on.
I want to cry after every lesson because I feel so bad about them.
Is this a blip? Will I get back into it or should I get out?
Anyone else struggle on returning after a break? How did you manage? I still really want to teach but I Don't want to be a shit teacher.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
