Hi everybody, I just
wanted to touch base as feel out of touch with my blogging. Since Module 2 I have
taken on the role of a maternity cover dance teacher in a huge secondary school
in Rochester Kent. I have stepped right into the deep end and joined the
students right before their BTEC/GCSE deadlines and if I’m honest feel a little
out of my depth. I have also
recently extended my after school clubs to not just a Saturday but a Thursday
and luckily had a successful opening day last week.
So its been relentless
to say the least, but things have started to settle a tad and I feel eager to
get back blogging and keeping touch with everyone.
Over the last month or
so I have been in regular contact with my SIG who have been supportive offering
advice so thank you for that.
I also managed to have
an interview that I recorded with a social worker about boundaries in schools
and I even managed to write a few literature reviews (all of which will follow
shortly).
I am now going to look
back through my journal at the summaries I made of reader 7 back in January and
my thoughts along the way of my new job role and journey. Hopefully some of
these thought processes will be worthy of blogging. Looking forward to some
feedback and advice from you all.
Hi Nina,
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see that you're blogging again and I'm really pleased to hear your news about your new job, although I appreciate you must be feeling the pressure right now with their exams looming. I'm not sure, but would Gemma be able to offer some specific support and advice? (I know she works as dance teacher at a secondary school, but I am unsure if she teaches BTEC/GCSE level). It's great to hear that your SIG has been useful. Unfortunately, mine has died off, so I am having to use my individual contacts as opposed to a 'group' effort!
Well done for writing literature reviews and for getting an interview done. It appears that you are on top of things Nina. I look forward to reading about your progress over the coming months.
Best Wishes,
Jo
