Are you fed up with those scrappy sheets of paper stuck on your door to inform students of important notes such as when you have moved rooms or if there is a test going on?
Well look no further, these quality door signs will look fabulous all year round and will save paper too!
These are really unique as depending on where you work, you might have to share your classroom, so these door signs are not only gorgeous, but can adapted for ANY teacher and room! Simply laminate or put into a plastic sleeve, pop on your door then write straight on the plastic with a white board pen. These signs have space to write the teacher name, date, lesson and where the class needs to go to. Each type of sign comes in 3 different and quality styles.
There are also a set of testing signs as well, so passers by know to keep the noise down! So much better than those scribbled notes and much more environmentally friendly too!

Performance Management: Teachersā Standards Evidence Binder
With Performance Related Pay now in full swing for teachers, it is more important than ever to document the evidence to prove that you are meeting the standard requirements which enable you to earn a pay rise, or at least remain at the top of the scale.
Oftentimes during the appraisal meeting season in September, we are reflecting on our achievements from the previous academic year but it can be difficult to remember everything we have done if we rely only on our memory! It is also often confusing to know where we can find evidence to prove we have met the standards; this is why I created this resource.
Tired of being less than inspired by dull blankets of text and confusing layouts of these standards, I decided to design something a little more aesthetically pleasing and easier to navigate and organise evidence with. With this 20 page binder, you can clearly see each of the standards and you have a simple and efficient system of both making quick notes and recording hard evidence of how you are meeting the standards.
So get organised with your performance management and ensure you get the pay you deserve as a teacher!
