Mr G "enjoys"his job as a teacher and occassionally what he does has some educational benefits to the children. While this is a light hearted look at the profession, does some of what he is saying happen in our own teaching? There will always be areas that we are stronger in than others. How can NPA help improve student outcomes and help me develop as a teacher?
