Day 328 - Reality Gaps

Wednesday March 10th

Another big day and 4 lessons. I had my first formal observation with Year 8s and thought it went reasonably well. This was followed by Year 9. I had resolved to lay the law down with them and it worked  up to a point - they did some work.

I made it through my four lessons and then sat down for my feedback. The language my mentor used suggested that I hadn't done very well and my heart sank - there is nothing worse than a gap between your and someone else's reality. Fortunately, it turned out to be her turn of phrase - she ended up rating me good to very good with some really sound tips on how to improve. Same time next week then.
