2- Set up my lesson paperwork out prior to the lesson, so my lesson flows better/easier.]]> 2018-01-26 10:00:57 UTC https://padlet.com/rachfocus/improvingmypractice/wish/224983116 rachfocus https://padlet.com/rachfocus/improvingmypractice/wish/224983120 Raise my concerns with others rather then trying to figure this out on my own. Other teachers could have experienced the same situation and can explain how they overcame the problem. ]]> 2018-01-26 10:00:57 UTC https://padlet.com/rachfocus/improvingmypractice/wish/224983120 rachfocus https://padlet.com/rachfocus/improvingmypractice/wish/224983121 I feel sometimes I loose control of the class-in respect of learners engagement. This is also something which has been made aware by other colleagues who have observed me and aided me within my teaching.]]> 2018-01-26 10:00:57 UTC https://padlet.com/rachfocus/improvingmypractice/wish/224983121 rachfocus https://padlet.com/rachfocus/improvingmypractice/wish/224983124 2018-01-26 10:00:57 UTC https://padlet.com/rachfocus/improvingmypractice/wish/224983124 rachfocus https://padlet.com/rachfocus/improvingmypractice/wish/224984666 2018-01-26 10:07:05 UTC https://padlet.com/rachfocus/improvingmypractice/wish/224984666 rachfocus https://padlet.com/rachfocus/improvingmypractice/wish/224984760 2018-01-26 10:07:28 UTC https://padlet.com/rachfocus/improvingmypractice/wish/224984760 rachfocus https://padlet.com/rachfocus/improvingmypractice/wish/224994244 1- Have extra handouts/resources for learners
2- Ensure learners understand respect is needed throughout the lesson.]]> 2018-01-26 10:45:23 UTC https://padlet.com/rachfocus/improvingmypractice/wish/224994244 rachfocus https://padlet.com/rachfocus/improvingmypractice/wish/224994876 When learners ask questions-sometimes I don't know the answer. This is not something which looks professional-the learners have put their trust in me and my knowledge if I make it obvious I am unable to answer the question then this obviously has a knock on effect with their confidence in not only me but the training establishment as well.]]> 2018-01-26 10:48:14 UTC https://padlet.com/rachfocus/improvingmypractice/wish/224994876 rachfocus https://padlet.com/rachfocus/improvingmypractice/wish/224995110 2018-01-26 10:49:13 UTC https://padlet.com/rachfocus/improvingmypractice/wish/224995110 rachfocus https://padlet.com/rachfocus/improvingmypractice/wish/224995200 I find myself talking to the learners too much when explaining theory in particular.]]> 2018-01-26 10:49:45 UTC https://padlet.com/rachfocus/improvingmypractice/wish/224995200 rachfocus https://padlet.com/rachfocus/improvingmypractice/wish/224996575 Attended every staff meeting available and other meetings such as staff development days.]]> 2018-01-26 10:55:53 UTC https://padlet.com/rachfocus/improvingmypractice/wish/224996575 rachfocus https://padlet.com/rachfocus/improvingmypractice/wish/224996738 1- Identify my knowledge weaknesses before the lesson and remove them by researching prior to the lesson-rather then relying on prior knowledge all the time.
2- Discuss with other tutors how they see a subject. Each teacher is unique. A difficult subject can be explained in an easier way possibly-finding how other tutors discuss this could help me.
3- Go on short courses to help gain more knowledge as well as re-cap on prior knowledge.]]> 2018-01-26 10:56:34 UTC https://padlet.com/rachfocus/improvingmypractice/wish/224996738 rachfocus https://padlet.com/rachfocus/improvingmypractice/wish/224997057 1- Implement researched ideas

2- I have researched the topic-this is part of my Specialist conference topic. Great ideas on Pear Tree Education. ]]> 2018-01-26 11:01:01 UTC https://padlet.com/rachfocus/improvingmypractice/wish/224997737 rachfocus https://padlet.com/rachfocus/improvingmypractice/wish/226671240 I feel if I am struggling I need to find the confidence to speak up and ask for help. Especially as I am a trainee teacher/tutor. I am sure colleague would help more if they knew I needed it.]]> 2018-01-31 16:57:02 UTC https://padlet.com/rachfocus/improvingmypractice/wish/226671240 rachfocus https://padlet.com/rachfocus/improvingmypractice/wish/226673657 1-I have researched short courses on Nail technology as this is something which has become more prominent about my subject knowledge.]]> 2018-01-31 17:00:54 UTC https://padlet.com/rachfocus/improvingmypractice/wish/226673657 rachfocus https://padlet.com/rachfocus/improvingmypractice/wish/253348837 This is something which was  mentioned in particular with my nails class-partly because when I took the class I thought I was just covering the lesson. Confusion on the learners side and my side didn't help the situation. ]]> 2018-04-19 10:29:15 UTC https://padlet.com/rachfocus/improvingmypractice/wish/253348837 rachfocus https://padlet.com/rachfocus/improvingmypractice/wish/253349735 I find myself struggling to answer questions in relation again to my nails class. As a profession-I should know the answer.

My learners progression could/was impacted by style of teaching. I have always wanted to ban learner led tea-however this is something I am not doing so  and plan continue with progression as my career grows.]]> 2018-04-19 10:35:45 UTC https://padlet.com/rachfocus/improvingmypractice/wish/253350328
