Today I met with my mentor. He is a Assistant Principal as well as a Geography teacher at School A. We went through what I needed from the school in terms of practical experience, we went through the USQ time table and the expectations they have for me whilst I am on prac. I think its rather unfair on schools to be expected to hand over the reigns to some stranger for 3 weeks!
I am a learning-on-the-job type of person, so I really wanted to start being around the school ASAP. The sooner I get in there and start observing and seeing how the theory is put into practise the better! I asked if I could be around 3 days a week to begin with, just being around to watch and learning and help where I can. That seems to be possible. YAY. So excited!
I met the HOD for Geography and she seems very lovely. Both my mentor and HOD are making a timetable for me. I will be observing 4 teachers in a variety of classes - mainly year 7, 8 and 9's. A couple of yr 10 classes and 1 yr 12. I am so so excited to start! Tuesday 13 March is my first day!
