Well, the course is more than half way done now. Leighton and I have been working our little booties off trying to keep up with the work load. We have "study mornings" all this week to give us extra time to plan lessons and write our assignments. We need them!
Last Thursday I taught my 4th lesson, the official mid point. I received my second "above standard," which is the highest score possible on the teaching practices. I'm pretty proud of myself on that... it was as close to a perfect lesson as I could have done except for a few little things like timing. The trainer, Percy, had so many good things to say and so few bad things that he redacted the space for bad things and wrote more good things. He told me it was the first time he's ever had to do that! Gave me a little jolt! I was also scored "above standard" for the half way review. I guess that means I'm on track to pass!
The course does have different "grades" but they don't really matter. The only thing it means is that you're more ready to teach without supervision if you get a "pass A." The one thing it means for me is that if I have a couple of bad lessons I'll get a stern talking to from the trainers!
Anyway, I've really got to get back to work. I have a lesson plan, an assignment, and heaps of materials to get done!
Good day to all!
