Thanks for your comment. I've been so ...Hi Amit<br />Thanks for your comment. I've been so busy with the teaching that I hadn't updated so thanks for reminding. I now teach year 6 , I changed job share partner as the previous left. It's gone from strength to strength. We have shared beliefs and are both organised. We found the book became time consuming so texting is favoured method. We share news on the class and keep planning on joint file. Maths mastery has been brilliant and we split the maths better to ensure coverage. Lots of chat helps here. I still do most of the writing whilst she does spag. Works very well. Year six is highly pressured and a job share certainly helps. I do the math and read papers and she does spag. <br />As long as the trust and communication is there it can work really well. For me it makes the job manageable X Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03196242830270617518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767374934878877802.post-12627123383919423482017-06-28T07:12:44.300-07:002017-06-28T07:12:44.300-07:00Hi Anna,

Thanks for taking the time to comment.
F...Hi Steph,<br />Thanks for taking the time to comment.<br />Firstly, well done on the promotion!<br />Secondly, try not to worry...job shares are centered on communication and shared vision. Once you've established what you're both doing, trust your partner to do it. It dies take a while, but the freedom that comes from teaching fewer days will make other aspects of the job/life easier.<br />You've been the class teacher , so there will be, particularly in the first year of sharing, things that you have established and will be keen to continue , but always stay open to change and new ideas.<br />Without being flippant I have learnt to , "Let it go" and have become a better teacher as a result. <br />A communication book in which issues/parent meets are noted above is a must for me but needn't become onerous and texting/email/phone can work as well. <br />Good luck! I'm sure it will work well, be patient and don't try to fit five days into fewer ( it took me a while to get it very that hurdle!)<br />A<br />Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03196242830270617518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767374934878877802.post-78682074268184766062015-08-18T13:58:21.585-07:002015-08-18T13:58:21.585-07:00Hi, I am a fairly new teacher I have been qualifie...Hi, I am a fairly new teacher I have been qualified for 5 years and I have recently been offered a temporary promotion which means I know have to job share my class so another teacher can cover my class while I do my management role. I really like the other teacher but she is retiring next year and has not taught in the upper school in the last 8 years. I do not want to appear too pushy but I do feel it is important that we are both clear on what areas we will both be covering and that we both communicate regularly to share information. This is the first time I have shared a class and I have been in upper school for the last 4 years - I'm finding it really tough handing over reponsibility and giving up some of the lessons and material I have tried and tested in previous years.... Help! (please any advice would be great!) <br /><br />Steph xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
