Technology Learning for Life

Wow, what a great time.

I really enjoyed this experience at St Joseph’s, the teachers I had the chance to work with were very professional Teachers who had a great deal that they could share with me.

I had the chance in my first week to go on retreat with year 11 which included little sleep and very cold whether.  Even with what I know now I would still go, as the chance to get out on a group excursion, and experience the logistics of group co-ordination will be valuable.

To classes, I had the chance to work with 4 teachers each with their own style of classroom management which was great to experience.  The classes I had when shared classes and this is why I had the chance to work with this many professionals.

I’m not sure how else to put into words the value of the effort, support and help that everyone gave to me on my prac.  I joined in a range of different classes room subject which only further increased the amount of observations that I could make and learn from.

I attended my 2nd of 3 day visits preparing us for our three week block.  I feel more confident after this visit, as to the expectations of my experience.  Kim has given me an outline for my year 9 and ten classes I will be taking.  I have 2 year ten classes that I while be able to teach my lessons twice with.  Many of my classes are share-teaching classes, so I well be working with a number of teachers.  My classes are currently all Food tec classes with a large number of prac lessons.  I have been invited to observe a number of year 12 Industrial Arts class with the Subject coordinator Glenn Lowe.

My time table includes recess and lunch duty’s and Facultymeeting on the second Tuesday.  There is no set sport day and this will not be part of my prac.  I am thankful that all the member of staff have been very open, helpful and very welcoming.  I would love to have the chance to work in an environment like this one.
