Working with the Tutorial class has been an interesting challenge for me so far. I haven\u2019t really gotten to adjust the fact that they\u2019re much quieter than my normal classes, and that means I can\u2019t rely on them to provide input during class discussions or during the lesson phase of each day. Having said that, they seem to be responding well to me as a teacher and that\u2019s made it possible for the work to get done that needs to be finished.<\/p>\n
Over this weekend I\u2019m going to be attempting to complete all of the marking that I have obtained over the last two weeks. I\u2019m learning very quickly that staying on top of my marking is going to be one of my main challenges as a teacher, both in terms of ensuring that students hand in all the assignments that are due, but also returning them in a timely manner. These problems are compounded by the fact that I haven\u2019t really learned when the best time to collect something is during a class, and there\u2019s still some confusion on occasion about what is worth collecting and what should just be used for a formative assessment.<\/p>\n
The CPR stations activity was very good and worked well with my grade 10 students, I think that there are some things that could have been changed to ensure that they were able to get more out of it. In particular, I should have informed the students beforehand which items I would be marking through a rubric or other marking scheme, and which parts of the assignment I would be marking for completion. Of course, that would create the concern that they would only focus on the ones that were worth marks and do a less complete job on the ones that were just for completion, but that would at least ensure that the assignments were completed in a timely manner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
