“This raises the questions: what can be done to arrest this trend? The general response from government is that teaching will be improved by reducing workload removing unnecessary tasks and increasing pay. Many of our sample thought they could cope with the workload, but lack of support and the target accountability culture seemed to be worse than they had thought and led to many leaving, and further numbers considering it. “Underlying this loss of commitment seems to be a contradiction between expectation and reality, the practices of being a teacher impeding the ability to be a teacher. “This amplifies the problem of teacher attrition, as those who want to be teachers are committed to the profession and yet, somehow, that commitment is eroded in a very short space of time,” authors Dr Jane Perryman and Graham Calvert note. However, this does not reflect the numbers leaving the profession. The majority of those who entered the profession viewed teaching as a long-term career, with only 7% seeing teaching as a route to another career. It makes me really sad that I had to leave a subject that has a shortage of teachers, but I could not do the things I want to do in my life like have children and continue being a mainstream secondary school teacher.” One respondent said: “I feel I came into teaching for all the right reasons (passionate about my subject, a strong work ethic and a love of watching students learn) but am leaving for all the wrong reasons (workload, specification changes, not being able to have a life and too many classes). However, once they started in teaching, the work-life balance and accountability culture dulled their enthusiasm. The survey also explored the reasons why people became teachers and found that teachers entered the profession because they wanted to work with young people and ‘make a difference’. The study found that it was the nature rather than the quantity of workload, linked to notions of performativity and accountability that was a crucial factor. When the patient is properly positioned, as in Figure 2D, it is evident that coverage of the dorsal acetabular rim (white arrows) is similar on both sides.Workload is the biggest reason for teachers leaving the profession, new research by UCL Institute of Education (IOE) shows.Ī survey of around 1,200 current and former teachers showed that despite being aware of the workload challenges before entering teaching, it was still the most frequently cited reason for having left, or for wanting to leave in the future. The dorsal acetabular rim (white arrows) appears to provide more coverage of the right femoral head and less coverage on the left side. Oblique positioning will result in false assessment of dorsal acetabular rim coverage of the femoral head, as shown in Figure 2C.

Additionally, the left (down) ilium appears narrower. In this image, the right (up) obturator foramen is increased in width compared with the left. In Figure 2B, the right hemipelvis has been elevated from the imaging plate. The pelvis is rotated with the right hemipelvis farther away from the imaging plate. The right stifle should be moved axially (medially) so the femurs are parallel. The right femur/stifle should be further internally rotated (so the patella is more centrally located over the femur). In this example, there are multiple positioning errors. Pelvic radiographs must be assessed for adequate positioning and should be repeated if the pelvis is oblique, as in Figure 2A. Ensuring that both limbs are positioned similarly allows side-to-side comparisons. This can be useful when radiographic changes are equivocal. Figure 1C shows an example of the pelvis correctly positioned.Īltering the degree of limb extension or flexion and changing the degree of internal or external rotation can significantly affect the appearance of the femoral head and neck. Ideally, the sacrum, ilial wings, and entire 7th lumbar vertebra should be included in the image. Note the uniform and equal size of the obturator foramen on this well-positioned radiograph. In this image the femurs are parallel with each other and parallel with the imaging plate. If the stifles are kept internally rotated, the patella should be centrally located over the distal femurs, as seen in the normally positioned radiograph ( Figure 1B). The limbs are then extended, maintaining the internal rotation, until the femurs are parallel with the table. While in a flexed position, the limbs are internally rotated and abducted so that the stifles are almost touching. All but the pelvis and hindlimbs are within the trough.

This view is best obtained with the dog placed in dorsal recumbency, which is done by using a foam positioning trough.
