What you been up to? 31 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,100 I've had a great afternoon. Um, I'll be honest with you, I 32 00:01:36,107 --> 00:01:38,300 don't often do stuff. I'm one of those people. 33 00:01:38,300 --> 00:01:40,900 I will spend a lot of time just sit around doing nothing but 34 00:01:40,900 --> 00:01:43,500 this half time, I visited people Gloria remember, I am a capable 35 00:01:43,500 --> 00:01:45,600 Warrior. I visited some friends up North 36 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,400 so I couldn't be a keyboard Warrior and you'll know this 37 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,000 Dylan because I didn't message you every single, five minutes 38 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,400 Hayden. And I, for those who know us, we 39 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,100 are kind of one brain at this point. 40 00:01:55,100 --> 00:01:58,100 And, you know, my phones in my hand, I'm probably meshing 41 00:01:58,100 --> 00:02:00,600 Hayden weishaupt in that second because I can't go without doing 42 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,000 it. And it has been literally, I 43 00:02:02,008 --> 00:02:03,800 think, for days. So you really need to fill me in 44 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,200 what you've been up to, is the true bromance. 45 00:02:05,700 --> 00:02:07,500 Even on Valentine's Day, we didn't message. 46 00:02:07,900 --> 00:02:11,100 Well listen, I had a great time. I went up north and we visited 47 00:02:11,100 --> 00:02:13,300 the Lake District. That was a great day climbs and 48 00:02:13,300 --> 00:02:15,000 stuff. I realized I was really, really, 49 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,100 really unfit because we I have think about 30 seconds into 50 00:02:19,100 --> 00:02:21,700 walking up a hill. I think my heart rate was 160. 51 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,800 Yeah, not great, but it's fine we powered through and I got to 52 00:02:25,808 --> 00:02:27,800 the top of the hill and then I look to the mountains around me 53 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,700 and thought I was supposed to climb one of these recently. 54 00:02:29,900 --> 00:02:32,200 Glad that didn't happen. You said close the top of the 55 00:02:32,208 --> 00:02:33,300 hill. I've just got this image of you 56 00:02:33,300 --> 00:02:34,900 being really proud of yourself, but we did. 57 00:02:34,900 --> 00:02:37,300 It was good fun. I had a really, really nice day 58 00:02:37,300 --> 00:02:41,700 and then we had a really nice day at a spa as well. 59 00:02:41,700 --> 00:02:45,700 So it was my my partner's, but birthday during this little 60 00:02:45,700 --> 00:02:48,100 visit and we had a booked a spa day. 61 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,200 So that's really nice as well. So to just summarize there, it's 62 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,200 your partner's birthday. So you took her away to your 63 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,000 friends, find out and I booked a spa day for me. 64 00:02:56,100 --> 00:03:00,100 Anna, one of those backhanded presents. 65 00:03:00,100 --> 00:03:02,400 Yeah, I got you two tickets to watch man united. 66 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,800 Yeah, I'm already worried because you're not the only 67 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,300 person to This. Now I've had quite a few people 68 00:03:07,300 --> 00:03:09,000 saying, oh, you got spa day. You are you going? 69 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,000 I'll let ya. So you know for both of you is 70 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,000 it? Yeah it is. 71 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:15,700 Anyway, what have you been up to? 72 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,300 Well actually kind of our roles have been reversed, right? 73 00:03:19,300 --> 00:03:22,400 Because like you said, sometimes you can just sit in and there's 74 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,500 been a brand new game released, and I'll be honest, I've been 75 00:03:25,500 --> 00:03:29,000 sat in front of my PlayStation. Playing the new Hogwarts Legacy. 76 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,300 It's amazing. It looks so good. 77 00:03:31,300 --> 00:03:33,300 I genuinely really want to play. I might come on your house. 78 00:03:33,300 --> 00:03:35,500 Yeah, you can come play it, you can play it but it just Got me 79 00:03:35,500 --> 00:03:38,800 thinking it was really funny because I'm playing I'm playing 80 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,500 this game. Obviously it's in a school and 81 00:03:40,500 --> 00:03:43,000 it's a Wizarding school but I can't help but draw these 82 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,800 comparisons and this thing just really really made me laugh. 83 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,700 So the whole idea is that the start you're going around doing 84 00:03:47,700 --> 00:03:49,900 classes and each class. You do you kind of learn a new 85 00:03:49,900 --> 00:03:53,600 spell so you meet all of these professors and your learning you 86 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,000 know the curse for a fire fire flame or the curse to light up a 87 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,900 room or the curse to undo a lock. 88 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,000 And it said, one of the missions was to go to herbology and 89 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,200 herbology is just this study of plants basically wisdom. 90 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,700 It's and how to mix them together to make things. 91 00:04:08,700 --> 00:04:11,300 It's like two potions. So anyway, you go to herbology 92 00:04:11,300 --> 00:04:13,900 and it's basically is the greenhouse where they grow these 93 00:04:13,900 --> 00:04:16,200 plants and you learn what they do. 94 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,399 So it's the equivalent of just gardening basically. 95 00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:23,400 But for wizards fun and I want you to try and work out to try 96 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,200 and guess you go and you meet your professor. 97 00:04:25,700 --> 00:04:28,300 What do you think? The professor's name was, I'm 98 00:04:28,300 --> 00:04:29,700 presuming from your tone of voice. 99 00:04:29,700 --> 00:04:32,000 It can be so stupid, Professor route. 100 00:04:32,500 --> 00:04:34,900 That would have been good. I think in the real Hogwarts. 101 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,600 The real Harry Potter films is something like that, so I walk 102 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,700 in and I don't know why it should really made me laugh. 103 00:04:39,700 --> 00:04:44,400 Because hello. I'm Professor garlic, garlic. 104 00:04:46,100 --> 00:04:49,400 That's a brilliant name and basically obviously the writers 105 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,800 had a better day off on this day be and but what they did was to 106 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,000 change it from the real sweaty of garlic, they just put a K on 107 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,800 the end. So yeah, that's such a classic 108 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,100 thing to do in like any kind of fantasy thing, isn't it just 109 00:04:59,100 --> 00:05:00,400 just change the layer to another one. 110 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,200 That makes the same sound. It kind of got me thinking 111 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,800 though can you imagine, you know, in second just go. 112 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,200 You got into food Tech. Meet your new teacher check. 113 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,300 Hello, I'm mrs. Quiche Lorraine! 114 00:05:10,300 --> 00:05:13,400 Oh, if you doing the wrong room, my name is mr. 115 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:14,800 Algebra. This is mad. 116 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,100 I don't have much experience with the game. 117 00:05:17,100 --> 00:05:20,000 However, I have, you know, been scrolling through Tick-Tock and 118 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:25,100 the first one I saw actually, today was of the game and I just 119 00:05:25,100 --> 00:05:27,100 love the fact that it's already been modded. 120 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,800 There are mods out there because I was watching this video. 121 00:05:30,300 --> 00:05:32,400 And whoever the character is, I think it's not actually Harry 122 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:33,100 Potter. Is it know? 123 00:05:33,100 --> 00:05:35,100 You kind of make your own character and you can change the 124 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:36,400 The looks and change their names. 125 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,400 It's not a set character, right? Okay, all right, so I was a bit 126 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,600 distracted anyway because his broom stick with Shrek. 127 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:45,500 It's just flying on Shrek, not the character was Shrek, the 128 00:05:45,500 --> 00:05:47,500 known as the prusik was Shrek and hit. 129 00:05:47,500 --> 00:05:50,800 This, this character was just riding on Shrek, so linking back 130 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,200 to last week when we had another catch up. 131 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:53,800 We talked about cream, next.

Although I do sometimes have the 211 00:09:24,700 --> 00:09:26,900 other version but never mind Pepsi Max. 212 00:09:26,900 --> 00:09:30,200 I said to Hayden argue any Pepsi Max and he was like yeah he go 213 00:09:30,300 --> 00:09:32,400 you're not trying to be good.

This look of confusion in his 217 00:09:41,700 --> 00:09:43,100 eyes. It's because what I thought. 218 00:09:43,100 --> 00:09:46,300 Max meant maximum flavor, maximum sheer nonsense, it's 219 00:09:46,300 --> 00:09:49,800 nonsense, it makes nut, come on the word Max is like a good 220 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,800 thing so it's like I want flavor, you know, maximum flavor 221 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,200 and we all know flavor comes from the bad stuff sugar, Pepsi 222 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,900 Max to me it I still to this day, it doesn't make sense to 223 00:09:57,900 --> 00:10:00,600 me.

Straighten are faced with guys 255 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,200 on horses, just be off now get it honestly go down the pub 256 00:11:28,300 --> 00:11:31,600 Jesus Christ. We've actually had quite a big 257 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,800 response to say. That email that you really 258 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,500 kindly took the Mickey out. Yeah, I'm not going to read that 259 00:11:36,500 --> 00:11:37,500 again. It's so long. 260 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:39,700 What if anyone wants to know what it is. 261 00:11:39,700 --> 00:11:43,700 It's teach sleep, repeat POD at gmail.com and if you've got any 262 00:11:43,700 --> 00:11:45,700 funny stories send them to us because we're going to feature 263 00:11:45,700 --> 00:11:48,600 them and I'm really really really excited to say we have 264 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,200 one for today's podcast so we're going to do at the end, so stay 265 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,600 tuned for that. But I think what we need to do 266 00:11:53,608 --> 00:11:56,700 now is get into the main bulk of this podcast which is talking 267 00:11:56,700 --> 00:11:58,400 about well-being. Because like we said that link 268 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,300 to our sponsor from last week. What we were doing was just 269 00:12:01,300 --> 00:12:05,000 highlighting But some schools fall into the Trap of doing is 270 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,600 kind of what I like to call checkbox well-being, well-being, 271 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,900 ideas for the sake of it, to say they've done something, which 272 00:12:11,900 --> 00:12:16,100 actually don't have a positive effect on staff and sometimes 273 00:12:16,100 --> 00:12:20,400 end up having a negative effect. It's not even neutral so I 274 00:12:20,408 --> 00:12:21,600 thought we could talk about Hayden. 275 00:12:22,300 --> 00:12:25,100 It's just teacher well-being in general, some good ideas, some 276 00:12:25,100 --> 00:12:27,200 bad ideas. What state the profession is in 277 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,300 right now and see where the discussion takes us. 278 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,600 For me well-being is one of those massive issues globally By 279 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,300 the looks of it. Just from a little bit of 280 00:12:34,300 --> 00:12:36,800 reading earlier, about sort of the state of teaching in 281 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,200 different countries that just hide the no, it doesn't. 282 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,400 It just feels like it's not really being addressed like, is 283 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,400 it improving? Because it doesn't feel like it 284 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,300 is improving all these, from what I hear from other people, 285 00:12:47,300 --> 00:12:49,300 when what I read because it's hot, you know, you can't just 286 00:12:49,300 --> 00:12:51,200 take it on a like an individual basis. 287 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,500 If we happen to work in a school that had that, as I did really 288 00:12:54,500 --> 00:12:56,600 well with well-being. Then we couldn't say, oh yeah, 289 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,300 it's great in this country. We kind of have to look at what 290 00:12:59,300 --> 00:13:01,400 everyone thinks and that's the problem with kind of those 291 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,700 personal stories because Is don't get me wrong, there's 292 00:13:03,700 --> 00:13:06,500 personal stories are so important because this thing how 293 00:13:06,500 --> 00:13:09,300 someone's experiences are, that's vital to understanding 294 00:13:09,300 --> 00:13:12,100 the problem, but it's good sometimes to step back and take 295 00:13:12,100 --> 00:13:13,900 an empirical look. And I've actually got some stats 296 00:13:13,900 --> 00:13:17,100 here from education support their this charity set up in the 297 00:13:17,100 --> 00:13:21,300 UK solely to try and help teachers and support staff of 298 00:13:21,300 --> 00:13:23,900 well-being and schools. And these stats are quite 299 00:13:23,900 --> 00:13:25,200 frightening. So I'm going to fire some at you 300 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:26,400 right now. Hayden, see what you think about 301 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:27,700 them. This is from the teacher 302 00:13:27,700 --> 00:13:30,300 well-being index and they're scary. 303 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:34,300 So 59 percent of Staff have It leaving the sector in the past 304 00:13:34,300 --> 00:13:38,000 academic year due to pressures on their mental health and 305 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,500 well-being, 55% of Staff of actively sought to change or 306 00:13:41,500 --> 00:13:44,500 leave. Their current job. 68% of Staff, 307 00:13:44,500 --> 00:13:48,300 cited volume of workload, as the main reason for thinking, about 308 00:13:48,300 --> 00:13:53,000 leaving their job. 47% of all staff always go into work when 309 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,700 they're unwell. That is not a good place to be. 310 00:13:55,700 --> 00:13:58,100 If you're unwell, you're going to be stressed, you get into a 311 00:13:58,100 --> 00:14:02,100 cycle and 78% of all staff experience. 312 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,700 Total health symptoms due to their work. 313 00:14:04,900 --> 00:14:11,300 For in five people experience mental health symptoms due to 314 00:14:11,500 --> 00:14:13,900 being in education. You know, the whole thing is 315 00:14:13,900 --> 00:14:15,900 crazy. I'm just I'm not even that 316 00:14:15,900 --> 00:14:18,400 surprised you all sort of reading them and I understand 317 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:19,300 that other people might be shocked. 318 00:14:19,300 --> 00:14:22,200 I'm like, yeah, sounds about right based on my experiences 319 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,000 and it's just, it's just mad at me. 320 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,600 I want to know how that compares to other jobs, you know. 321 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,400 I mean I'm sure there are, I'm sure there are professionals 322 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,200 that are worse. And I'm sure there are like a 323 00:14:30,208 --> 00:14:33,600 plenty professions that whose It would not be like that. 324 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:34,700 Yeah. And they're actually, it's 325 00:14:34,700 --> 00:14:37,700 consistently in the top five teaching at least the top 10 326 00:14:37,700 --> 00:14:39,600 across the board and it is up there. 327 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,200 It's up there because it is so stressful. 328 00:14:42,500 --> 00:14:44,800 And like we said before, if it was an easy ride, but some 329 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,400 people in the Press particularly like to show then retention 330 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,600 wouldn't be as bad as it is. We wouldn't be struggling to get 331 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,500 people into the profession and these stats wouldn't exist and 332 00:14:52,500 --> 00:14:54,500 that's what we mean by just taking a step back and looking. 333 00:14:54,500 --> 00:14:56,000 It's really important to tell people. 334 00:14:56,100 --> 00:14:58,800 You are not alone. It's not just you, you are not a 335 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,700 failure for feeling anxious for feeling stressed. 336 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,000 It is not unusual. On you, no matter what your SLT 337 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,500 might be saying to you. If it's a certain school, it is 338 00:15:06,500 --> 00:15:08,900 a wide problem. I've actually been looking at 339 00:15:08,900 --> 00:15:12,300 some articles earlier on and I was really interested to see 340 00:15:12,300 --> 00:15:14,300 what while being is like not just in our country but in other 341 00:15:14,300 --> 00:15:15,800 places as well. I don't know if you know much 342 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:20,400 about this but Australia was having very similar issues right 343 00:15:20,500 --> 00:15:21,900 there. You know the kind of General 344 00:15:21,900 --> 00:15:24,100 consensus was. We're just overworked as 345 00:15:24,100 --> 00:15:27,100 teachers and it's ridiculous. You know, our mental well-being 346 00:15:27,100 --> 00:15:29,800 is not good which leads to our physical well-being, being not 347 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,900 so great and then our social with like it just affects 348 00:15:31,900 --> 00:15:34,200 everything. Do you know much about the 349 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,500 scheme's? They've got out in Australia to 350 00:15:35,500 --> 00:15:37,200 help with this? No, not at all when I see. 351 00:15:37,500 --> 00:15:40,400 Okay, so obviously you are you'll have heard of the word, 352 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,100 sabbatical, it's something that gets thrown around is this idea 353 00:15:43,100 --> 00:15:45,700 of kind of leaving work? But you've got that guarantee of 354 00:15:45,700 --> 00:15:47,100 a job when you come back sort of thing. 355 00:15:47,500 --> 00:15:50,900 But as far as I understand in Australia, they have a like a 356 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:56,700 sabbatical scheme where teachers can leave for like 125 years. 357 00:15:56,700 --> 00:15:58,300 As far as I'm aware quite a long time. 358 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,500 From the profession, have a guaranteed job when they get 359 00:16:01,500 --> 00:16:05,500 back. But also get paid during it and 360 00:16:05,500 --> 00:16:07,800 that was the bit of shock to me, it's reduced pay. 361 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,800 But the idea is it has to be, you have to reply, you can't 362 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,700 just do it. I randomly you have to be like a 363 00:16:13,700 --> 00:16:18,300 certain way into your career as a teacher, and the idea is you 364 00:16:18,300 --> 00:16:21,500 apply for this with the sort of mindset of, I'm going to come 365 00:16:21,500 --> 00:16:23,700 back to teaching with even more to give because I'm going to go 366 00:16:23,700 --> 00:16:25,300 and work on something. I'm going to go and learn this 367 00:16:25,300 --> 00:16:27,100 skill. I'm going to go and do something 368 00:16:27,100 --> 00:16:31,300 that I wouldn't normally get to do and then come back and be a 369 00:16:31,300 --> 00:16:33,900 better teacher. I think that's the whole idea is 370 00:16:33,900 --> 00:16:36,700 just so just out of this world to us, you know, that's 371 00:16:36,700 --> 00:16:38,100 unbelievable. And I, you know, I'm hearing 372 00:16:38,100 --> 00:16:39,700 this for the first time and things are going through my 373 00:16:39,700 --> 00:16:42,300 head. The first thing is, what an 374 00:16:42,300 --> 00:16:47,200 unbelievably good way of showing an example of how a government 375 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:52,600 can step in and create a scheme. Be proactive to try and retain 376 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,100 experienced staff without just letting them fall out of the 377 00:16:55,100 --> 00:16:57,600 profession. Now, this might not solve it in 378 00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,900 terms of the job isn't fundamentally changing. 379 00:17:00,100 --> 00:17:02,800 But those people who are like you said, Way through their 380 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,500 career and thinking okay well I'm often because I'm not doing 381 00:17:05,500 --> 00:17:07,300 this anymore. They're actually going to get a 382 00:17:07,308 --> 00:17:09,900 waiter to actually stay in the profession and keep the best 383 00:17:09,900 --> 00:17:12,000 teachers teaching our children. That's brilliant. 384 00:17:12,099 --> 00:17:14,000 Now, hilarious, they're on the reverse side of the coin. 385 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,599 I do this same article that I was reading. 386 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,300 It was talking about how the government are really trying to 387 00:17:19,700 --> 00:17:23,000 combat what's actually happening with this in mind, if it really 388 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,800 is, you never know what the news but what they're saying is that 389 00:17:25,900 --> 00:17:30,100 teachers are doing this and then just going to get another job in 390 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,100 will pay for a couple of years and then just Craig teaching 391 00:17:33,100 --> 00:17:34,400 afterwards. So they're really trying to 392 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,100 crack down on. People not taking advantage of 393 00:17:36,108 --> 00:17:39,700 the scheme, but I do. I do like the premise of that 394 00:17:39,700 --> 00:17:42,600 scheme. So I was thinking, basically, I 395 00:17:42,608 --> 00:17:45,100 want to have a little chat with you Hayden about what you think 396 00:17:45,100 --> 00:17:47,100 might be good practice for helping well-being in schools. 397 00:17:47,100 --> 00:17:50,400 Now, I just want to say very quickly, we are not experts and 398 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,000 at the end of this little segment will point you in the 399 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,200 direction. If you need some help with 400 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,900 anything, we're going to more detail later but I was just 401 00:17:55,900 --> 00:17:56,900 thinking. Okay. 402 00:17:56,900 --> 00:17:59,800 What can schools do? That's really simple because I 403 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,200 know what you and I say all the time and the first ones really. 404 00:18:02,300 --> 00:18:04,300 Blindingly obvious. So let's not waste time in it. 405 00:18:04,300 --> 00:18:07,400 It's giving time and giving money in form of Taylor's to do 406 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,400 extra within the job. If you're just a classroom 407 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,500 teacher and you're asked to do something extra than that you're 408 00:18:13,500 --> 00:18:15,500 already doing Lots outside of school. 409 00:18:15,700 --> 00:18:18,800 So being given money and time to perform that job, that's an 410 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,400 obvious way to help your well-being. 411 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,400 What else do you think that schools can do to help teachers 412 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,600 out? I really think there is a 413 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,500 fundamental flaw in the profession, right? 414 00:18:29,500 --> 00:18:33,500 And it does link to well-being, But and you know, the way I see, 415 00:18:33,500 --> 00:18:37,600 this is, we have directed time and we are paid for these 416 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,800 directed hours are contracts. Literally, tell us what these 417 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,300 hours are that we paid for in which the school can direct you 418 00:18:43,308 --> 00:18:49,600 to do things, but my problem is Within that directed time, we're 419 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,600 not directed to plan lessons or mark them and that really just 420 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:57,400 grinds my gears so much because they are expected. 421 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,100 It's just like what? So imagine it would talk to 422 00:19:00,100 --> 00:19:01,100 employers saying. Alright. 423 00:19:01,100 --> 00:19:02,000 Okay. So don't have to do those. 424 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,200 Then they're just sort of like extra things I can do. 425 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:05,500 If I want to know, know you've got to do them. 426 00:19:05,900 --> 00:19:07,300 I'll see your directed me to do them. 427 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,300 No, they're not. You directed hours obviously not 428 00:19:10,300 --> 00:19:11,200 directly. I don't have to do them. 429 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:12,800 Then you have to do then we would be fired. 430 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:14,700 What what were you talking about? 431 00:19:14,700 --> 00:19:16,300 Why do we have this system? That's okay. 432 00:19:16,300 --> 00:19:18,000 Because You can just put in for overtime, right? 433 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,000 No, no other time. Yeah. 434 00:19:20,100 --> 00:19:23,500 Other than, of course not. It's just a just made me so that 435 00:19:23,500 --> 00:19:26,900 that kind is my context that links into what I don't like 436 00:19:26,900 --> 00:19:30,400 about the profession. Which I because I think it 437 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,000 negatively affects our well-being essentially. 438 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,200 It could be summarized by just saying we have to realize that 439 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,700 the Baseline of this job of what's expected is already way 440 00:19:39,700 --> 00:19:43,300 more than what our contract and our actual expectations are on 441 00:19:43,300 --> 00:19:44,300 paper. Yep. 442 00:19:44,300 --> 00:19:46,500 I think in a traditional school if you took the average school 443 00:19:46,900 --> 00:19:48,400 Right? And you took the average working 444 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,600 hours of the average teacher in that school, it's already more 445 00:19:51,900 --> 00:19:53,900 than what the the Peds director time hours are. 446 00:19:54,100 --> 00:19:56,400 And I just think that the end of the day, that's crazy because 447 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,600 there aren't many professions, I know there are some others that 448 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,400 will do this sort of thing, but in general we want to get paid 449 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,700 for the hours we do, and it gets people's backs up. 450 00:20:04,700 --> 00:20:06,700 Eventually once what, you know, once you're a few years into 451 00:20:06,700 --> 00:20:09,800 your career and you've kind of stopped giving into all this 452 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,700 stuff and you realize actually, I'm just giving my time away for 453 00:20:11,700 --> 00:20:14,300 free all the time. You kind of just get a bit fed 454 00:20:14,300 --> 00:20:16,600 up with it especially when you start having families and stuff. 455 00:20:16,700 --> 00:20:20,100 Are you know like that where that time becomes harder to 456 00:20:20,100 --> 00:20:23,500 segment. And again, look, we've been 457 00:20:23,500 --> 00:20:25,600 young teachers without families, right? 458 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,900 And we understand sometimes, when people say, oh, I've got 459 00:20:27,900 --> 00:20:30,100 kids at home and you're thinking well, yeah, but you know, we're 460 00:20:30,100 --> 00:20:32,000 both still getting paid to do this job. 461 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,400 I think both of our minds have changed as we've got older to 462 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,700 say that's crazy. Those teachers who raise a 463 00:20:37,708 --> 00:20:40,900 family and work full-time are. Miracle, workers. 464 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,300 They are unbelievable, human beings. 465 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,800 I've worked with so many unbelieve, and they usually 466 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,400 women because I prefer She's full of women. 467 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:52,100 Unbelievable, mums, who managed to do this job? 468 00:20:52,500 --> 00:20:57,100 Inexplicably care for 30 children during the whole week 469 00:20:57,300 --> 00:20:59,900 and raise a family and they're going to Breaking Point. 470 00:20:59,900 --> 00:21:03,600 They are reaching breaking point because the Baseline of this job 471 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,400 is unbelievable and stuff is piled on top without time or 472 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,100 money. It just needs to change but 473 00:21:10,100 --> 00:21:11,700 we're doing that thing. We said we weren't going to do 474 00:21:11,900 --> 00:21:14,400 talking about time and money which is the obvious stuff. 475 00:21:14,700 --> 00:21:18,700 What else do you think we could? Improve well-being with in 476 00:21:18,700 --> 00:21:22,100 practical ways I think us having a chat fun enough about this 477 00:21:22,100 --> 00:21:26,900 with a friend recently, but I really think that just having a 478 00:21:26,900 --> 00:21:31,600 bit more fun at school, just for me, massively boosts my 479 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,700 well-being. And what I mean by that is just 480 00:21:33,700 --> 00:21:36,500 having those days booked in where it's like a fun afternoon. 481 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,400 Perhaps someone's coming in, or you're taking the kids on a 482 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,100 school trip or you're going to the local theater to watch 483 00:21:42,100 --> 00:21:43,900 something. Or just basically, anything 484 00:21:43,900 --> 00:21:46,100 where you get to bond with the kids, that's not in a science 485 00:21:46,100 --> 00:21:47,600 lesson or a mouse. Listen, I don't know. 486 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,000 Just those moments are nice, and they also come with reduced 487 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,600 marking, which makes the day a bit better, you know, it kind of 488 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,200 comes with its perks and it doesn't have to be a Skydive or 489 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,100 anything like that. It's culturally culturally 490 00:21:58,100 --> 00:22:00,300 enriching for the children. You could have someone come in 491 00:22:00,300 --> 00:22:02,400 and give a talk. One of my favorite days ever in 492 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,700 scores, when an author came in, and the children are writing 493 00:22:04,700 --> 00:22:06,800 poetry and what was unbelievable about. 494 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,900 That morning was, I wasn't stood at the front of the room going 495 00:22:09,100 --> 00:22:11,300 children. I have told you I need to see a 496 00:22:11,300 --> 00:22:13,500 front adverbial and the pronoun and every sentence. 497 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,800 It wasn't that at all, it was an actual poet came into the The 498 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,800 school only had a Flipboard children were lying on the floor 499 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,100 in the hall with big pieces of paper, felt-tip pens, and they 500 00:22:23,100 --> 00:22:25,700 produce some unbelievable. Poetry, it was one of the best 501 00:22:25,700 --> 00:22:28,400 days I've ever had as a teacher. I think what needs to be really 502 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,300 recognized and I know people be nodding their heads like, how 503 00:22:31,300 --> 00:22:36,900 this is that teaching in front of a class is unbelievably 504 00:22:36,900 --> 00:22:40,500 exhausting. It is so taxing on the mind, 505 00:22:40,700 --> 00:22:42,900 right? Just just think about it for a 506 00:22:42,908 --> 00:22:45,400 second. Imagine you had to arrange 507 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,300 meetings all day because that's What they are and you've got to 508 00:22:48,300 --> 00:22:50,700 plan the meeting lead. The meeting feedback on the 509 00:22:50,708 --> 00:22:53,400 meeting afterwards, and they're back to back six hours a day. 510 00:22:53,500 --> 00:22:55,800 Oh, and there's all. And there's 32 participants, you 511 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,300 know it. That's how big my classes 512 00:22:57,300 --> 00:22:59,900 anyway. 32 participants in this meeting and you've got to lead 513 00:22:59,900 --> 00:23:01,800 it like what? Oh, and by the way, those 514 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,200 participants on adults, their little children who you've got 515 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,400 to keep focused. Yeah. 516 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,500 So that that comparison to really good, but it still breaks 517 00:23:11,500 --> 00:23:13,200 down that might sound crazy to some people. 518 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,300 But then at the fact, their children at the fact that some 519 00:23:15,300 --> 00:23:17,800 of them have higher educational needs and how in, like, some 520 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,900 sort of office jobs, you can every now and then you maybe 521 00:23:19,900 --> 00:23:21,900 turn around, you can chat to someone checks, whenever I do, 522 00:23:22,100 --> 00:23:24,000 it's not too lonely. Forget that you're in front of a 523 00:23:24,008 --> 00:23:26,500 class all day by yourself. A lot of the times, you're the 524 00:23:26,500 --> 00:23:29,000 only adult in there is actually like, weirdly lonely. 525 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,700 Sometimes you don't really get to converse with other adults 526 00:23:31,700 --> 00:23:34,800 much in the day you might do, but generally, you're not, yeah, 527 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,100 and those relationships between staff are actually really. 528 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,100 Early really important because it's that empathy, I think which 529 00:23:40,100 --> 00:23:43,200 lets us not get into a spiral of misunderstanding. 530 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,100 What someone's job demands are for example, if you move into a 531 00:23:46,100 --> 00:23:49,300 higher position in a school in, what you really easy to forget, 532 00:23:49,300 --> 00:23:52,100 actually just being a class, teacher is really demanding 533 00:23:52,100 --> 00:23:54,800 already and an equally. If you're just a class teacher 534 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,600 getting stressed at SLT, they've got huge pressures on them as 535 00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,800 well. So just maintaining that empathy 536 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,000 and that actual bond between staff. 537 00:24:02,100 --> 00:24:04,800 I think it's going to lead to much less stress and just in 538 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,100 general allow well-being to prosper a bit better. 539 00:24:07,300 --> 00:24:11,300 School, I agree and I think talking to other people such an 540 00:24:11,300 --> 00:24:15,200 important part of breaking down just that stigma around mental 541 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:16,900 health as well. Like just being able to talk to 542 00:24:16,908 --> 00:24:19,100 another human being and other adults about what's going on in 543 00:24:19,100 --> 00:24:23,900 your job and actually the DFE have released a well-being 544 00:24:23,900 --> 00:24:26,800 Charter, right? That schools can essentially 545 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,300 sign. I think it's like there is their 546 00:24:28,300 --> 00:24:30,400 way of encouraging schools to actually take a bit more of an 547 00:24:30,408 --> 00:24:33,100 active role in improving the well-being and their schools, 548 00:24:33,100 --> 00:24:35,700 you can check it out. It's easy to find on Google and 549 00:24:35,700 --> 00:24:38,500 they've got like a like a nine in point checklist of things 550 00:24:38,500 --> 00:24:40,700 that it says, we will do this, you know? 551 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,200 And one of them is about breaking down the stigma around 552 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,800 mental health, and another one is in bed. 553 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,500 Well, being in training and professional development. 554 00:24:47,500 --> 00:24:51,100 Like, actually there's, let's talk about this and put one of 555 00:24:51,108 --> 00:24:52,800 our staff meetings on it. You know what, guys, the the 556 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,900 staff meeting there's 17 staff meeting on science which is 557 00:24:55,908 --> 00:24:57,200 going to put that back for a bit. 558 00:24:57,300 --> 00:24:58,700 And we're just going to talk about your mental health. 559 00:24:58,700 --> 00:25:01,400 Actually going to give you a bit of a break for once as well and 560 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,700 just show you that we do care. Like you're not just machines 561 00:25:03,700 --> 00:25:06,900 that have to work through this job all day relentlessly. 562 00:25:06,900 --> 00:25:10,100 And Go home when you finish the job way, after the hours you're 563 00:25:10,100 --> 00:25:12,500 supposed to work, you know, and you've not only just got home, 564 00:25:12,500 --> 00:25:15,200 you taking your marking as well. It just made me think then when 565 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,500 you mentioned 17th staff meeting on science in a row or something 566 00:25:18,500 --> 00:25:22,500 like that, another way that I think I've seen in schools do 567 00:25:22,500 --> 00:25:25,900 this in various ways, right? And I think a massive thing for 568 00:25:25,900 --> 00:25:30,700 well-being and just the sanity of your staff is to focus on 569 00:25:30,700 --> 00:25:34,200 something as a group that you're improving one at a time. 570 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,700 Right? And letting change have The time 571 00:25:37,700 --> 00:25:41,000 to embed itself across the school, and not changing things, 572 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,400 for the sake of it, I've worked in schools before I've seen it 573 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,500 happen where something's brought in for maths in term one. 574 00:25:46,700 --> 00:25:48,900 But also at the same time by the way, next week we're changing 575 00:25:48,900 --> 00:25:50,300 the English scheme of reading as well. 576 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,400 Oh and by the way, in which three the afternoon science 577 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,000 lessons note, they need to be scrapped because we're going to 578 00:25:54,008 --> 00:25:56,900 do this instead and it's just too much. 579 00:25:56,900 --> 00:25:58,600 We need to have one focus at one time. 580 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,900 This is my opinion. Really, really do that. 581 00:26:00,900 --> 00:26:03,900 Well, understand that perhaps. Perhaps okay, we know this needs 582 00:26:03,900 --> 00:26:05,400 to change. Next time we're going to nail 583 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,100 this first, get our staff working on this. 584 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,000 That soiled. Let's go into the next thing. 585 00:26:09,500 --> 00:26:11,300 I remember when we started our career and I know that we would 586 00:26:11,308 --> 00:26:12,600 have both had these conversations. 587 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,300 We spoke to some teachers that have been in the car a lot 588 00:26:15,300 --> 00:26:17,200 longer than are some of them near retirement of the time as 589 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,100 well. And when we when these new 590 00:26:19,100 --> 00:26:21,200 schemes initiatives came in, I know that you and I are be a 591 00:26:21,208 --> 00:26:22,600 little bit buzzed because we're new. 592 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,800 We're excited by everything. Well I wow, that sounds great. 593 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,400 That sounds a bit like what I learned at University and these 594 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,800 some of these teachers are just sort of roll their eyes kind of 595 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,600 unenthusiastically uninterested and I don't be offended. 596 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,000 Like they don't have passion anymore and I'd talk to these 597 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,700 people and I just It stuck with me then just saying things like 598 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,600 Yep, this is the third time in my career, that this exact thing 599 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,600 has been rehashed and come back around and they just got this 600 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,300 idea in my head over yet, it's just Cycles. 601 00:26:48,300 --> 00:26:50,700 We just we try things and we get bored of them and we bring back 602 00:26:50,700 --> 00:26:52,900 in old things. They don't work anymore and it's 603 00:26:52,900 --> 00:26:55,600 just goes around and around and around all this workload 604 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,300 basically for nothing, because they're just doing things they 605 00:26:58,300 --> 00:27:00,200 done in the past. And that really stuck with me. 606 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,500 Maturing as a teacher, is realizing that those teachers 607 00:27:03,500 --> 00:27:05,800 were right and trying to wrap up this chat about well-being 608 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,300 Hayden, because you've kind, Touched upon mental health. 609 00:27:09,900 --> 00:27:12,900 And again, we're not experts.
