I've been teaching for 12 years now and feel kind of stuck. I never made it higher than a classroom teacher as fell pregnant the year things were being put in place for that and my school doesn't support progression past main scale on a part time role.
When I was young and carefree I loved the music side of things in the primary curriculum and would do the choir etc.
Since I went on maternity leave 6years ago and came back part time I've lost the joy of that.
I definitely struggled to find who I am as a basic classroom teacher as in, it became a job. I didn't create the bonds with some of the children as I was adjusting to a job share.
6 years on and I've just come to realise that. I had an interview last year which is what made me finally realise I don't really know what I want out of my career at the moment. I'm not sure I'm 100% happy in my school so have tried to look around but can't settle on a path to follow.
My youngest won't start school until 2022 and I don't want too big a change before then. I've got time I think to try and find my passion again. Find my avenue but I have no idea where to start!
Anyone know of where I can get teachers career advice? Or some reading that might be useful.
Thanks.
