Bev is a Primary and Secondary Trained Canadian Teacher, who has made the move to East London UK through Protocol Education. This is her second blog entry, and is Part Two of a blog series about teaching in East London!
I have been supply teaching in London for the past 4 months so I think it’s safe to say that I’ve had a range of experiences when it comes to schools, classes, hectic mornings, smooth mornings and overall good days and bad days- thankfully majority have been good! I started with Schools, now let's move on to Classes...
Classes
First things first, I was told that I would cry on my first day of supply teaching in London…..well guess what I didn’t!! And to this day I still haven’t cried! People kept telling me that the kids over here are so poorly behaved and that they would drive me to tears. I think supply teaching anywhere (whether in Canada or the UK) requires a different kind of behaviour management than if you were the regular teacher.
Kids will be kids and most times they will try to take advantage of a supply teacher and they are obviously going to misbehave a bit. Yes, you will need to be quite strict at times and obviously utilize your behaviour management techniques some days more than others, but supply teaching in the UK is definitely not as bad as people made it out to be. I find most classrooms I enter have a behaviour policy set in place so my advice is to find out what that behaviour policy is and use it.
