Since having my children, my career has been in the doldrums. I teach / taught a key subject at secondary level, and considering a move back, full time. I have kept my foot in, doing supply and lots of bits and bobs, keeping up to date with the changes at GCSE and ks2. However, the changes in the last 10 years (when I left full time after my daughter was born) are immense. I have seen initiatives come and go; arriving with great fanfare, and often just slipping away without a mention. A lot of these initiatives seem to be good practice and common sense just rebranded (or is this just me?). Some, however seem to be based on education psycho-babble (again, is this just me?). I have seen quite a number of young teachers enter the profession without degrees in their subject, climb the ladder having really got on board with Teaching and Learning. They are enthusiastic blog readers! I feel really old fashioned! Is Teaching and Learning' really all that, and do I have to jump on the bandwagon too if I hope to re establish my career?
