Talk to me about #perimenopause and teaching. I know lots of people are discussing it, which is great, but I'd like to probe a bit more deeply and maybe write a blog, as it strikes me as a big topic for women of around my age... #edutwitter 1/2
I'm interested particularly in how (or if) it manifests itself, has an impact on work and life, and what strategies people have for managing it - and leaders have for supporting colleagues. 2/2
Gosh! Just finished work and this has clearly hit a massive chord. I haven't had time to reply to individuals at all but I promise I will be delving further into this and doing some writing!
