I had an interesting meeting today. I met with a group of English teachers- we were trying to make the New Curriculum relevant to our pupils - we all work at Special Schools and while we have some similarities our pupils have different need types. It was good working with a group of intelligent, committed people who all wanted to get it right and find ways of helping the pupils they work with to learn and enjoy what they learn. It would be good to hear the government genuinely acknowledge the commitment and dedication many people put into their jobs ( not just teachers) and then people would feel more appreciated for what they do. At the moment the mood seems to be one of checking up and criticism and this can be very demoralising for people who put their heart and soul into what they do.
