Today I was watching the sun set from my balcony and thinking to myself... I owe so much to the people who got me my PGCE, and not just a way out of the awful situation I was in, but into the amazing life I bow have. I also wonder how none of them spotted my then undiagnosed Audhd!!

Any science teachers looking for an international teaching position starting this summer? Comes with a lab, lab tech, fully fledged sow, resources, staff development and, and lots of promotion prospects. (And year round gorgeous weather imo)! #edusky

Chemistry in current events: the connections between fertilizer, the Haber-Bosch process, and the Persian Gulf. Read this and your knowledge will exceed that of most of our current political leadership after only a few minutes of light work:

I live in a country with a pretty inefficient (but present) public transport system. Most foreigners here use apps similar to Uber to get around to be honest. I currently do to go to work (laziness) and commute home by bus, next week I will start busing to work as well. Apparently, I am "Brave" SMH

Nonfiction science new releases for March, 2026! Which of these books are you adding to your TBR? I plan on reading EXPECTING INEQUITY. I already read SALT LAKES. Read If you like books that blend science w/ memoir. #nonfiction #booksky #science 🧪 #sciencebooks #womeninscience #nonfictionscience

I graduated a physics PGCE when they were giving out £30,000 bursaries to train. I was not a fresh grad PGCE, I was also not eligible for the money. Didn't get a penny of it. I wonder how many people who did are still teachers?

Anyone got any resources/advice for new Chemistry A level teachers, or non-speciallists moving it to it? #Edusky #ChatChemistry

If you are a trainee Physics teacher or train teachers, this compendium of resources by Richard Brock is fantastic. Please share widely 🙂 #iTeachPhysics #Science 🧪 emckclac-my.sharepoint.com/:w:/g/person...

I am pleased with the past year. It has meant taking a break from my online activities, but being in a school where I am inspired by teaching again and seeing my commitment appreciated has turned my life around. I wasn't in terrible schools, so I didn't realise this was missing. #Education #Teacher

Are you a science and/or maths teacher looking for a new international teaching opportunity next year, or maybe even your first? I have a recommendation for you: tinyurl.com/yuvk989e #InternationalTeachers #teacher #education

Oh no :( my backups were lost, now I have to rebuild my site from scratch!

I see James Watson has died. What did Watson discover? Rosalind Franklin's lab notes. Only we spell it 'S-T-E-A-L' these days.

I've always taught classes with heavy girl balances (nearly 50:50) and I wonder how much the fact I am the physics teacher helps that. When i was at school my teachers were very clear that physics was a subjects boys excelled at so girls should probably stick to other subjects and I am not that old!

I know I have shared it before, but I want to share FlippedAroundPhysics with you all again. This is an EXCELLENT resource and well worth paying for the answer access to! jihyeteaches.com/flipped-arou... #PhysicsEdu #EduSky

Hello, my Wonderful #Edusky! I am looking to expand my sources for reading journal articles and scholarly magazine articles. What free (or affordable sources do you use). Key areas of interest: Education in general, Secondary Ed, International teaching, SEND, EAL, Science Teaching.

Neurodivergent minds bring a wealth of innovation to science – but many still face barriers in workplaces built for neurotypical people. We explore how organisations are rethinking recruitment, communication and culture to become truly neuroinclusive.

Sometimes I feel really out of place in the international teaching community. I am not trying to make a tonne of money. I just want to teach, continue my career, and have a good (simple life). I have lots of local friends but work itself can feel lonely.

An if it isn't, it probably does not need "re-writing from the ground up". It almost certainly just needs clearer explanations or a couple of minor tweaks.

I thought I was reasonably tech savvy, but I didn't know about this? If this works even reasonably well it's amazing!

Sometimes I get exhausted by how often I am clearly overlooked for something simply because I am a woman, or a woman who doesn't fit a stereotype people are comfortable with.

So much this. So many educators do not believe me that the reason I get such good engagement and behaviour is simply by treating my students like (age-appropriate) humans. If i would react badly to something, why do I think they won't?

I have only three weeks left in my current job. After that, I'll take a short break to move, and then I'll start my brand-new job. The new job excitement is real, and it will hopefully give me more opportunity to focus on edu stuff!

I will never stop being confused by this? I am on bluesky in a number of different capacaties and I am not here to try and reach a marketing demographic. I am here because I like the nature and tools of the site, and can reach enough people in my niche to exist happily.

Perhaps controversial, but here is my next recommended resource for teachers... this time with a caveat or two. www.jihyeteaches.com/teachmate-ai/

jihyeteaches.com/tales-from-t... I will always be their favourite... until shift change.

It is important, ESPECIALLY for those teaching in EAL environments to remember just how heavy the vocabulary load is for sciences. jihyeteaches.com/glossaries-a...

I can't wait to be somewhere with less light pollution, or at least have easier access to less light pollution. I want my night sky back!

I am so bad at remembering to post here! Here is a post I made sharing a a useful resource for Secondary school and A-Level Physics Teachers jihyeteaches.com/flipped-arou... #Edusky #TeachPhysics

Stories, anecdotes, connections to the humanity behind science. All of these things are important not jsut for engagement, but for understanding!

Teacher tip. How to tell if a set of data should be on a straight line or curve. Look down the data diagonally 🙂 #PhysicsEd #iTeachPhysics #SciTeachUK

If anyone needs a brief, lighthearted break from the seriousness of the world right now, my next teaching anecdote is up on my website jihyeteaches.com/tales-from-t... #Edusky #Teaching

If a male colleague, without request, continuously "teaches" you how to do basic parts of your job (how to write an email for example), yes that is sexism. 👩‍🔬

I have finally started to post on my blog again! It is very exciting to get back into. To start off, here is something about using folklore to teach plant biodiversity #Edusky #Biology jihyeteaches.com/category/edu...

I am going to sound very out of the loop, and it is because I have somewhat become so. I can't help but feel that the methods I am using are out of date. So #Edusky, what methods do you use to keep up with education research? Where do you find reading? I feel like my methods are all out of date.

My designs aren't usually humor-based, but I couldn't resist a #dadjoke on this baby onesie. 👩‍🔬🧪🍎🥽🪨🐡👶 www.redbubble.com/i/baby-onesi...

I have set up a "study resources" Google Classroom for our students, with information on things like forgetting curve and spaced repetition as well as links to useful revision/self-study resources. I asked teachers to recommend links and one told me "They just need to memorize my powerpoints"🤦‍♀️

New nonfiction science book releases for November, 2024! What books did I miss? Which of these books are on your tbr? I am hoping to read THE SERVICEBERRY this month. I have heard it is a more distilled version of Wall Kimmerer's masterpiece BRAIDING SWEETGRASS.

So many exciting things coming in my teaching career! I can't believe how exciting my future looks right now!

It's me, hi... :( if only I hadn't had to leave the UK to find work.

My edu website is coming back. Well, blog. Yes, I am retuning to flood the world with yet more edu stuff. (but really it is so I have a portfolio of what I make/do.)
