With online provisions at such a high standard from the university I believe I recieved the best teaching possible from the university. ]]> 2021-06-16 16:29:10 UTC https://padlet.com/graemenix/cqk2yq1lezqq9bxy/wish/1610374635 Online learning smcilroynewman https://padlet.com/graemenix/cqk2yq1lezqq9bxy/wish/1610376989 Although it was not possible it would have been more beneficial to have face to face lessons to gain confidence within the classroom environment. So although there were postives to online learning for time management, for classroom development it is much better to be in front of a class full of people. ]]> 2021-06-16 16:30:26 UTC https://padlet.com/graemenix/cqk2yq1lezqq9bxy/wish/1610376989 Placements smcilroynewman https://padlet.com/graemenix/cqk2yq1lezqq9bxy/wish/1610385669 It has been an incredible year to join teaching. Although there have been some difficult moments during teaching practice, the tranparancy of the importance of teaching has been well and truly established and it has been amazing to be joining schools and offering assistence where possible, teaching online was a challenge but was great to take part in something that may be a positive thing for the future of teaching. ]]> 2021-06-16 16:34:56 UTC https://padlet.com/graemenix/cqk2yq1lezqq9bxy/wish/1610385669 Mentors smcilroynewman https://padlet.com/graemenix/cqk2yq1lezqq9bxy/wish/1610395919 The mentors have been amazing in my experience. They show real care to how well we are doing and it is evident that they are really supportive and encouraging.]]> 2021-06-16 16:39:47 UTC https://padlet.com/graemenix/cqk2yq1lezqq9bxy/wish/1610395919 Timing Issues smcilroynewman https://padlet.com/graemenix/cqk2yq1lezqq9bxy/wish/1610398633 There were a few occasions when information was fed through to students late so added pressure. I believe this may have been due to the constant changing in the regulations for the year. Some information was given but then re-evaluted so some of the information wasnt as clear as it could have been.]]> 2021-06-16 16:41:02 UTC https://padlet.com/graemenix/cqk2yq1lezqq9bxy/wish/1610398633 Placements smcilroynewman https://padlet.com/graemenix/cqk2yq1lezqq9bxy/wish/1610405041 Some student were not able to carry out all placements which can really effect their ability in the classroom for future practice.
There were a few comments made during my placements by my mentors that the communication seemed a little delayed or poor so that could be an area for improvement. ]]> 2021-06-16 16:43:55 UTC https://padlet.com/graemenix/cqk2yq1lezqq9bxy/wish/1610405041 Observations https://padlet.com/graemenix/cqk2yq1lezqq9bxy/wish/1612964844 Observations this year were interesting, i was not allowed to have my university tutor visit so it was via audio on teams however i still received feedback which is important. I feel i would have preferred to have a visit face to face.]]> 2021-06-17 19:45:34 UTC https://padlet.com/graemenix/cqk2yq1lezqq9bxy/wish/1612964844 University teaching https://padlet.com/graemenix/cqk2yq1lezqq9bxy/wish/1612973494 It has been great to have been able to still teach during the pandemic - getting the experience of teaching online and face to face. The university has been great with having online sessions for our university based taught sessions, we were able to cover subject content/knowledge effectively and our tutor allowed us to explore topics that we were interested in.]]> 2021-06-17 19:52:20 UTC https://padlet.com/graemenix/cqk2yq1lezqq9bxy/wish/1612973494 School Mentor Support https://padlet.com/graemenix/cqk2yq1lezqq9bxy/wish/1612974884 In my experience i believe i have not received the support that i could have had this year. I feel like i could not freely discuss any issues i had or how i was feeling. I was not given much feedback from my mentor until after Easter and the observations i asked for were not completed or sent to me.
Most of the time i worked independently and just got on with what i needed to do. I feel it could have been better to have had two different placements over the year. ]]> 2021-06-17 19:53:30 UTC https://padlet.com/graemenix/cqk2yq1lezqq9bxy/wish/1612974884 The teaching file https://padlet.com/graemenix/cqk2yq1lezqq9bxy/wish/1612986425 Some documents were missing or students were told about them later on in the course.]]> 2021-06-17 20:02:01 UTC https://padlet.com/graemenix/cqk2yq1lezqq9bxy/wish/1612986425 Assignments https://padlet.com/graemenix/cqk2yq1lezqq9bxy/wish/1612987708 We have had excellent workshops and sessions on how to complete the assignments. The assignment questions were discussed well with us and we were given the opportunity to share what topics or issues we would like to discuss.
