Today is Saturday the 9th of May and it’s the end of what has been a really long week. I feel tired and exhausted but happy with how hard I’ve worked and with the level of effort I’ve put into the last few weeks. The last few weeks of Uni has been a never ending mess of unit plan assignments, lesson plans, presentations and group work. I have spent days at Uni where I’ve been tucked away in computer rooms for 12 or so hours. However, like I said the hard work has been paying off. I have also been using these assignments as a way to re-familiarise myself with course content. Especially in History. I make sure that I design my lesson plans around content that I’ve forgotten or have never actually studied. For example, I have never studied the French Revolution before. So I chose that topic for my first unit plan assignment. And now because I spent the time researching and looking at the French Revolution in depth I am confident that I could successfully teach that topic with ease.
Next week placement is supposed to start. However, I have not yet received my placement. I am hoping that I will get Waldorf at Mt. Barker. I am extremely interested in how Steiner education works. Of course it is difficult not knowing where I’m going but if I stay positive and be patient I know that a really good school will come my way. Generally I am pretty nervous about prac. I don’t really know what to expect. I constantly worry about not being good enough. I’m sure that these are just nerves and once I’m in the swing of things they will become less apparent.
Anyway, now it’s time to tie up those loose ends. For example, finish this post and work on my ePortfolio.
