 If the government declares a five-day week for its employees, it will definitely bring a smile to their faces. but is seriously thinking of adopting a five-day week in state government offices.

To help students see they can change the world.

Why I became a teacher:• Make your learning real: don't use dress rehearsal learning. Give them opportunities that are real right now, involve them in the world and the things that really matter. Show them that their actions are important, are valued and count.• Develop high quality relationships with students: Once you get those in place you can tailor everything else around them. Get to know about their hobbies, their friends, their likes and dislikes and their families. You don't have to be harsh or nasty to get good behaviour; have a calm environment and a calm considered approach.

• Praise: Look actively for chances to praise children and if a child is showing an odd behaviour then don't react emotionally, step back and try and look for why that child is behaving differently. Ask yourself if they are tired or if something has happened at home. Take time to speak to the child and be on their side, let them know they can trust you. Each child is different but if you take time to build a relationship with them the rest will fall into place.
