How easy is it for an assessment only qualified maths teacher to join #GTCS? Anyone done this and willing to explain?

#ukmathschat #mathsteacher #scottishteacher #teacherchat #education

Looking to connect with anyone who has completed the #Mathshub #PDLead programme but is’ just’ a teacher! Lots of people in my cohort have more experience and need some morale boosting chat!

Deciding that we need to take control and not let life control us… so…I have 18 months to find an ideal #school… with a #mathsteacher vacancy..near a beach…with a cheap bungalow without needing much work…with enclosed gardens for the crazy spaniels…. Wish list complete. Now will it happen?
