Headteachers who have your back when it matters are worth a career. Heard a story recently where a teacher was assaulted and instead of supporting that teacher, they were blamed for it. Meetings followed where the teacher was humiliated into believing it was their fault through subtle gaslighting. Things like this you don’t recover from easily. On the flipside, leaders willing to sacrifice themselves for the teacher in these situations, because it’s the right thing to do, are worth their weight in gold.
