Teaching and Assessment am I ready to teach.......
I had my pract this week I liked my experience and the lecture this week really help me find balance in what I'm feeling should be taught and whats expected.
Standards for me represent a bench mark of whats expected from teachers and are really a short cut for those lacking understanding(me). I've had probably ten jobs and I'm very surprised that it's only now teachers are being measured nationally together to maintain students education in the different faculties.
My faculty won't be part of the National curriculum till 2013-14 and only in 9-12 but I'm interested in what the shared understanding's are.
This week Kylie and I presented the class our 10min lesson, the feed back we received was above average which is I guess daunting I mean we spent about two hours on a ten minute lesson. I wonder is that average?
thanks....
I really enjoy reading your posts. They are filled with questions (a good sign!) and also show that you are seeking out ways in which to make the learning real for your needs. I liked your cartoon (though must say the use of the word 'academic' linked to the wealth is interesting! Despite three degrees I reckon I still earn less than many people much younger than me who went a less academic route!! Funny! But the point that education is needed for future well being is definitely what I believe!
