I just want to teach.
Really teach.
Hey! Do you get the feeling that there are so many demands to juggle that you're in a constant state of putting out fires instead of just teaching?

Play the long game
Running on empty tanks doesn't serve us or our students well and it's not sustainable long-term. Challenge your own perspectives on the way things are and explore how we can improve the way we operate:
Find balance 🧘
Look wider 🗻
Make a change
I'm on a mission to help teachers excel at their jobs and get back to the best bits of teaching; those reasons we became teachers in the first place.
My mission is for all of us to:
Be purposeful teachers
Who are in control
Feel inspired
And know they've done enough.
If that sounds like where you want to be, I'd love for you to join me in making my mission a reality!

PURPOSEFUL
This pillar is the driving force behind our actions. It’s about having intent. It means having an end goal and taking deliberate actions to reach that.
IN CONTROL
In this area, we want to focus on what is within our locus of control, rather than all of the factors that aren’t. It’s about having teacher agency to make informed decisions in how we teach, how we manage our classrooms and how we use our time.
INSPIRED
Inspiration keeps us fresh. It energises us. The bubble of excitement that works its way up and surfaces in creativity, mind-blowing ideas and brilliant lessons. That buzzing-for-the-rest-of-the-day feeling.
DONE ENOUGH
Most importantly, we need to value ourselves and our efforts. We need to treat ourselves with the same care, patience and benevolence that we show our students. The only way that we’re going to rid ourselves of the guilty feeling of not doing enough is if we truly believe that we have done our best.

About me
Hey! I’m Kath, a primary-trained teacher from NZ! I'm currently working between three awesome schools doing a combination of fixed-term teaching work, relieving and running after school clubs.
