I'm not worried or stressed about being in this particular school environment- because I actually am very familiar with it since I used to go there!
That's me, back in 1998 and 1999, when I went to the school for my last three years of primary school. I had a fantastic experience there (I even remember our prac teacher we had in Year 5!) and hopefully the school is still as great a place as it was back then.
Here are my aspirations for this prac:
- Get to know all of the kids' names, and a little bit about them
- Learn how to differentiate my lesson plans, and make them easily adaptable depending on the students' needs and abilities
- Get a greater understanding of the syllabus and what it looks like in real life when implemented into the classroon
- Gain insight into the real day-to-day working life of a teacher
- Hopefully make some good connections and networks (ie. career opportunities!)
