The CPD session was canceled on Monday. Took my Year 10’s for the first time. Despite the strong winds and rain outside, the mappd in the class was very settled. I was taken back with the amount of noise and disruption, comparatively non-existent.
Tuesday… (to be continued)
Wednesday… During the professional studies session I received news of my tutor coming to observe me next week. (to be continued)
Thursday was Pupil Review Day. Being bilingual I could do much more than just listen in on tutors talking to parents. I made phone calls home, spoke directl to parents, and discussed and shared their concerns, if any, with their tutors. Although it got very repetitive as they day wore on it was still highly enjoyable. The fact that I didn’t have to teach any lessons on that day also helped!!!
My mentor told me that he met my (university) tutor at the conference, where he gave a presentation.
Started period 2 with my Year 7’s. The class teacher made a new seating plan. It was very effective. Pupils did a lot of work during the lesson despite the fact some of them did not like the seating arrangement. Finished the day with the Year 8’s in period 5. They were very lively! But what else can you expect on the last period of the week.
