1/4 When I was a biology teacher I used to love teaching sex education - so I guess it's no surprise now I'm ancient that I'm supporting schools with perimenopause and menopause!

1/4 Even when we love our jobs that first day back can feel hard. Nerves can strike for the best of us, and when our amygdala is being buffeted on our changing hormones, then anxiety can be intense.

I help school leaders support their colleagues through perimenopause.
Because we all want all our school staff, in school, doing their jobs to the best of their considerable ability.
These are some of the options and what they cost.

1/2 Just in case you missed this wonderful article by Dr Hannah Ainsworth. She's spent the last few years researching the impact of menopause on the working lives of secondary teachers.

1/3 Going through perimenopause in school can be a perfect storm.

1/2 When I first watched Bill and Ted a VERY long time ago I thought this was naïve.
Now I think it's difficult and complicated but worth a try!
But, there's a big but...
You also have to be excellent to yourself.

Menopause can be really hard to talk about.
I remember when I found it hard to talk about.
But that's something that can change.
It's my mission to change it!

1/5 I wish I could just fix menopause.
Take this and perimenopause will be gone.
Do this and you can stop thinking about it.
Rub this lamp no-one will ever have to deal with any of this again.

How are schools currently managing the thinking behind writing assessment, and not just the marking itself?
Feels like a lot of that insight still lives in teachers’ heads. We're interested how others are approaching it.

1/5 "If anyone has a problem with menopause they'll let me know".
They might.
Then again there are lots of reasons they might not.

April Fools is one thing.
But thinking marking writing takes half an hour after school… that’s the real joke.
There’s a lot of unseen graft behind those books.

Assessment isn’t a tick-box. It’s interpretation, judgement, and care for every pupil. That responsibility adds up over time: https://air-ed.com/blog/

Behind every piece of writing is deep teacher insight, but it often lives in their head, not the system. That’s where the weight builds: https://air-ed.com/blog/

Hello. For those of you that haven't 'met' me yet, I'm Helen. When I'm not helping schools support their staff through perimenopause and into menopause I'm messing with fabric and wool, and having quality time with my cats. I also really like feeding ducks!
