Thinking about getting into teaching? Here are 5 reasons why you should become a teacher❤ A thread. @MarjonTEP #GetIntoTeaching #TeacherTraining https://t.co/yHlAMPkjtt

@CHLOECARRUBBA is an English teacher in a secondary school and @johnsonwenner is an upper key stage 2 leader in a primary school, a Year 6 class teacher and PE coordinator. They are here to give their perspective on teaching.

Reason one: No two days are the same. https://t.co/zptohgtUfN

Chloe explains: “What I enjoy about teaching is that you’re always bettering yourself and going through a process of being reflective. There's never a day where I do something and I think it worked by fluke because you’re always analysing and

Reason two: You get to be creative. https://t.co/kRIdbK93IG

While your school guidelines and the national curriculum set out what you must teach, you have freedom in the ways you teach

And, you will need to get creative in the moment as Johnson explains: “Sometimes you need to adapt things or multitask. Just take every day as it comes. Sometimes the plan doesn't work so you must learn to deviate from it."

Reason three: You’ll be challenged, in a good way! https://t.co/H1Wq1Z6xl1

At first, like when starting anything new, some things will feel hard. Johnson remembers this from his experience as a trainee: “Challenge isn’t necessarily a bad thing and as a new teacher you do get extra time in the day outside of the

Reason four: The children are amazing! https://t.co/jvEzBIJELm

Many teachers agree that seeing children progress is the most rewarding part of teaching Johnson says: “The children are wonderful. I’ve always had the mindset that a child is probably looking forward to the day with you, that's why I went into

Reason five: The work-life balance is improving. https://t.co/QxoP7yeyCr

Johnson says: “It's not 8.30 to 3.30, it's a bit more than that, but with the Ofsted framework that's coming in teachers work-life balance is improving significantly. I see that myself.”
