I started my second placement on Monday 25th of February.
What a difference!
From the moment I stepped into a class I could feel the difference compared to my first placement. Pupils throwing exercise books around, and running around like headless chicken.
Anyway, during my first professional studies session I learnt that not all “Outstanding” lessons need be “Wow” lessons in order to be classified as one by OFSTED. Any lesson where progress is made by all pupils can achieve that classification.
- Spent the first two days observing lessons.
- Met 5 other BTs from another University.
- Got to see all the classes that I’ll, eventually, take over on from Thursday.
- Spent an hour after school in the my first faculty meeting.
- Asking to be attached to the form group of the class that one is going to teach may not have been such a good idea.
- Also realised that I have to start building relationships with pupils again.
Overall, although I’ve had mixed vibes about the school. I somehow get the feeling that I’m going to have ‘fun’.
