Schools, including staff, parents and pupils, have an increasingly difficult mission statement to fulfil – simply to enable future generations to thrive, achieve and live in a better world. Well, that’s not too much to ask of anyone is it?! Strangely, this puts a lot of pressure on those working to that outcome so let’s throw in a few things to mix it up such as financial constraints, teacher shortages and the need to work longer hours (the children in particular; the staff already have a lengthy day despite the long held view of their working hours).
Then there are those who are entrusted with the commitment to train the future outstanding teachers. It is not an easy task to be responsible for those who will empower tomorrow’s children. We can only do this by mentoring and shaping teachers to teach exciting, stimulating and effective lessons that will focus on pupils’ learning and achievements – after all, they are our future, future teachers!
So… reason²believe is a service that you may feel might just make your job a little easier rather than expect all those things to disappear. There are some days when just someone to take away from you something that is driving you to distraction or is a mundane task that takes forever but you need it done. A fresh pair of eyes may just do the trick.
Consider reason²believe to be a place where the smallest question, however ridiculous you think it sounds, is as important as the crucial task you might need support with. You may need to just talk it through – that’s fine; you undoubtedly will have an answer close to hand – you might just need a hint to find it.
Then there are those more pressing matters that are so important that you feel they must be done, sometimes all at once.
reason²believe is there too:
Headteachers have a prime view of what is happening, what the school represents and how to develop and improve. reason²believe is not here to tell you what works in your school, just offer advice, support and a listening ear as well as take away some of your stresses, so that schools have the opportunities to continue to excel in their mission statement and leave the rest to someone else.
