Paperwork - I received a trainee handbook, transfer record book, a headteacher handbook, mentor handbook, preparing for the second school placement, RBWM Grading trainees' attainment on the Ofsted 4-point scale, monitoring and assessment handbook, and standards for the award of qualified teacher status (qts). That's about one trees worth of paperwork! Oh and also a book called The Bristol Guide which I've got to annotate and highlight
We also discussed the many portfolios we have to create, and fortunately this blog can go into my professional development folder as my learning/reflective log :)
I met loads of really interesting people from all sorts of backgrounds, and had to discuss with the person next to me: what makes a good trainee (?) and the key features of an outstanding trainee. Here's what we came up with:
What makes a good trainee?
· Organised with good time management
· Focused
· Open to criticism
· Confident in your own ability
· Able to form successful relationships with learners
· Motivated and enthusiastic
· Cooperative and be collaborative
· Professional
· Team player and individual learner
· Willing to share experience
Key features of an outstanding trainee
· Goes above and beyond
· Willing to try new things
· Resilient
· Passionate about what they want to achieve
· Approachable as a subject teacher and pastorally
· The ability to be inclusive and provide stability (including all learning styles)
· Continually evaluating their own teaching
· The ability to relate theory to practice
· Flexible
Oh and just reading back through my notes, I have two more assignments, I'm going to be observed every term, and the external assessor is looking for outstanding, so no pressure then!
