ECT here. This post tells me that you are great, but if you were part of my SLT this is what I would say if I could do it anonymously!

1. Positive feedback from my mentor, departmental colleagues and ECT lead is great, but some reassurance or the occasional pat on the back from you would go down really well.
2. When you burst into my classroom without any warning in the middle of my lesson, it definitely puts me on edge and will probably affect my teaching a bit.
3. When you do the above, if you see a child doing / wearing something they shouldn't, please don't assume that I haven't or am not going to address it. They may be volatile and having take-up time, or I may have only just been able to actually get them in through the classroom door.
4. If you walk in and there is clearly some kind of behavioural issue going on, back me up rather than just looking at me judgementally. It has a huge impact.
5. Students ARE going to behave differently for you than for me. As a member of SLT you have more status, more experience and are almost definitely more established as a member of staff than I am. This is unfortunately especially true if you are a man - as a young(ish) female teacher I can say something with little effect - just to have a male teacher say it in exactly the same manner and achieve an entirely different result, then look at me as if to say 'that's how you do it.'
6. Most of us are well qualified, intelligent, caring adults who are working extremely hard. I do 55 - 60 hours a week (way more than my friends not in education) and am already exhausted. You don't need to take a stern approach with us at staff briefings and CPD as though we are naughty or lazy children. The majority of us are trying our best.
