Teaching Practice 1
It's been ages since my last post because that's how busy I've been! There's always something to so on the course! However I've survived my first teaching practice! I was with Year 2 in a school in Dulwich Village so a very posh area.
It's been a long 4 weeks and I haven't really had much of a life. I've basically worked 7 days a week writing up lesson plans, going to meetings, writing evaluations and doing paperwork for the university. I've still got lots of paperwork to do ready to meet my tutor on Monday. I had a good time though but I don't think I really want to teach Year 2. Too many tears and arguments! I hope I have become a better teacher but I still need to work on my behaviour management. I have picked up lots of ideas that I could use when I have my own class but also things that I want to do that this school did not (such as merits).
I think I will miss the children (especially the really camp little boy) but I don't think I would want to work in that school as it was a very stressful environment with the teachers being constanatly observed and having to hand in thier lesson plans to see if they are up to scartch.
The work doesn't end now though! I've got to start applying for jobs now even though I don't really feel ready!
Just watched Lost and it's very good. Also saw cloverfield yesterday which was very good too althoughy the shaky camera did give me a headache!
