So far so good, but after saying that I realise there is so much more I don't know than what I do. Thankfully, everyone at my placement continues to be more than supportive and as the weeks progress they get even more supportive.
I had the opportunity to post test a class today after giving them the initial test 3 weeks ago. It was such a relief to see that every student had improved their grade which, as I see it, shows I did something right!!!! Phew . . . Three and a half hours of exam supervision today had my poor 'ole feets throbbing. I must have walked miles up and down and up and down the isles. After an office job where my backside barely left a chair for 12-16 hours a day, spending 3.5 hours on my feet constantly running from one student to the next was a shock to the wee toe-digits. I really should have worn trainers! hahahaha...... Difficult to believe I tramped around the whole of Stewart Island several times. My poor round squishy self wouldn't manage that now. Once this Diploma is done I think its time to get a health balance back in play, and get some of these earthquake kilos off once and for all.
Anyway, I digress! All is well and I couldn't have hoped for a better placement even the junior class was much noisier than preferred today. I am thinking to place them in a seating plan on Monday just to separate those that seem not to be able to control themselves in certain pairings or groupings. Will they hate me I wonder? Is it overkill considering every student did improve their grade in the post test..... hmmmm...... I may take the risk and see.
Well, off to write my weekly reflections and section log before Coro starts (Kaz - I know you are rolling your eyes now - lol).
