Anne, 50s, qualified as a primary school teacher in 1985 and taught in reception for 20 years. Originally from Yorkshire, she is now a lecturer at a small university in northern England.    "In 2005 I was made redundant after 20 years as a teacher. Our school was shrinking, the numbers of children dropped. It wasn't my choice. It was all done on a points system  - very fairly - and I just didn't have wide enough experience. I was at the top of the pay scale so I was too expensive for another school to employ and, I didn't want to go into management. The local autority put us forward for interviews but the jobs going were being snapped up by younger and cheaper teachers. I didn't have many options. "It was very lucky - my husband was playing tennis and he got talking to this guy who worked at a local Further Education college. He'd been asking around for someone who knew anything about Early Years teaching and they were looking for someone to work o

Time to talk - how has the Covid lockdown made you feel differently about your job as a teacher?

Hello! Well, this has been a very strange time, hasn't it? Normally on my Teacher Talking Time blog, I interview teachers and present profiles of their experiences in education. I ask them questions about what it means for them to be a teacher, and how they feel about the job that they do. But, with the enforced time at home and the break of normal routines, many of you may have used the time to reflect on the way that you work in education. One of the big questions we can ask is: how has this time made you feel differently about your job as a teacher?  Perhaps like never before, teachers need to talk with each other and support each other, learning from our shared experiences. Maybe you have already decided what needs to change when you go back.... More time with the family and less time at work? (or the opposite...) Is there a part of your job that you have sworn never to do again? Is there something that you have learned really matters? Perhaps it has reaffirmed you

If I am starting this blog, it only seems right that I should go first. Stefan, late 30s, is a former primary school based in Yorkshire. In 2014, he left full-time teaching and now is a university lecturer, a writer and independent consultant. "I think back often to the day when I resigned from my teaching job at a primary school. There was no red mist, no tears, no door slam. Writing the letter, printing it and dropping it onto the Head’s desk happened somewhere between wiping the board clean at the end of the day and clearing away the table clutter. I had no job to go to, no plan of what would come next. As far as I was concerned, I was done with teaching forever. The end of term came and I felt no regret or worry. Just relief. "That was six years ago. I still work in education. I write, teach creative writing in primary schools, and lecture at universities. On the outside it might look impressive or like an upward trajectory, but all this has happened under the sha
