And it doesn't help when your PT has high expectations of you, "because you've done this before, in your first placement".<BR/>But, as you say, it's only six weeks. (And I haven't the faintest idea how to teach programming either: I guess we'll <B>both</B> find out!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18805156.post-1138658849833549102006-01-30T22:07:00.000+00:002006-01-30T22:07:00.000+00:00Hi Lesley, Hope your first day went well - I have ...Hi Lesley, <BR/><BR/>Hope your first day went well - I have no doubt it will have. I too was feeling less than excited about being back in school, but like Chris said, I think it was more the thought of having to 'settle in' again. I keep thinking we students have such a tough time, having to waltz into a class who have their own way of working and relationship with a teacher, and expect them to work the way we want them to. <BR/><BR/>Anyway best of luck for the remainder of placement....stuck_in_the_middlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11165087858704692868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18805156.post-1138579545186043272006-01-30T00:05:00.000+00:002006-01-30T00:05:00.000+00:00Amen to the above - and I'll add that being in a s...Amen to the above - and I'll add that being in a school full-time is a totally different ball game from all this dropping in and out (very unsettling). You make friends, you belong, you're not a visitor. The staff aren't strangers any more.

In the time I've been teaching I've never known everything about anything. As a primary teacher teaching I have no chance of knowing even a small percentage of what I am teaching (especially ict). A couple of valid choices, be one step ahead, or don't worry about making mistakes,they can be teaching opportunities, my answer to 'how do you spell?' is lets look it up ;-)<BR/><BR/>BTW you should get over to:<BR/><A HREF="http://scotedublogs.wikispaces.com" REL="nofollow">http://scotedublogs.wikispaces.com</A><BR/>when you have a spare moment.<BR/>Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
