After feeling like I had a
pretty successful first term, I thought I would feel a lot more ready for this
next one but it feels like I’m back at day one with very little idea of how its
all suppose to work. We have implemented
an independent learning frame in our class.
SDL (Self directed learning) will fill our first block.
I’m feeling a bit out of
my depth but am sure that it will all start flowing once I am a bit more
familiar with the process. I will plan to observe Belinda run the SDL time on
Thursday which will help hugely. She has
done it before so has more of an idea of what it should look like. I’m glad that I am back
and am looking forward to a great term, I’m just finding the change hard to
adapt to after finally feeling like I had a grip on what I was doing last term.
I know that SDL will benefit all of us in Room 14 once it is all running
smoothly.
Overwhelmed
There is so much going on already and I feel
like I am struggling to keep up. There is talk of student led conferences
coming up as well as whispers of reports.
It seems that at the moment there is a lot of confusion over what we
need to do for each and even the teachers who have been here for some time seem
overwhelmed with it all. Not to take joy
in others feeling that way, but I have to say that it did make me feel somewhat
better.
In the classroom I am struggling
to monitor children's work. What is the best way to do it? Now that so much of
our work is online it is imperative that we have systems in place to make sure
we are actually seeing and checking the work that students are doing. Teacher dashboard
is great for some things but in terms of knowing when a student has completed
work, it’s not so efficient.
