So far this year I’ve had opportunities to both observe and be observed by other teachers in my school, as well as engage in professional discussions around effective practice and subject specific methods - a great support for my first few months #edchatie
Won't be able to join #edchatie tonight, but my own experience is that Droichead is a waste of school time and resources. Kafka would have found the T*ch*ng C*nc*l's antics excessive. Bring back NQT workshops for all.
Repairing schools to cost ‘big money’, says Minister https://t.co/5DK23o1JGx#edchatie
Will any lessons be learned when building schools in the future? I'm really surprised by the lack of uproar outside the media. https://t.co/5DK23o1JGx
The workshops are the only component that I don’t view as actively beneficial, as they place a focus on what the Droichead process involves as opposed to adding to the process as a whole #edchatie
It’s as useful as you make it! Some people viewing it as a box ticking exercise, which I did at the start, but I’ve actually gotten a lot out of the discussions with other staff and simply knowing there’s support in your first year helps greatly! #edchatie

I think it's always good to be able to grow a professional dialogue/collegiality around teaching and learning.
Can bring about some very important discussions

We're at the halfway point in tonight's #edchatie live hour of discussion about "How effective is Droichead for NQTs and mentors and the whole school?"
There are some good points being made tonight about #Droichead for #NQT
It sounds from a few other comments tonight that it can be seen as quite supportive.
I'm wondering what the other non #NQT teachers thought about it too?
#edchatie
From what I've browsed on the website, a lot of Droichead seems to be about Droichead, not so much about teaching per se. #edchatie (sadly still too cynical for my own good) Nice to see positive responses from the upcoming !crop¡
I think the discussions arising from classroom obs, as one example, are what will lead to the building of practice in teaching (going by what was said tonight)

At Runnymede we've created a free online 'textbook' to support teachers who want to teach more diverse, inclusive & representative histories of Britain. We've done all the research for you - check it out at https://t.co/45gBI7uI3z

We're discussing "How effective is Droichead for NQTs and mentors and the whole school?" on tonight's live hour of #edchatie
Join in the last "official" 15 minutes of the discussion now
It's been a slow tonight on #edchatie and we're into the famous final five minutes of the hour long discussion on "How effective is Droichead for NQTs and mentors and the whole school?"
Any last comments, thoughts, ideas or solutions?
The usual transcription gathering service seems to now have gone down - I'm testing a new one - so transcript of tonight's #edchatie discussion might be a bit delayed - but hope to have it sorted out soon.
