Let the four-week countdown commence!
1. Mock exam
Year 11 English/English Language mock is today. Scripts will be passed back to teachers asap for marking. JKY will make marking, feedback and lesson materials available to Year 11 staff asap. Remember that we have Simon and Ruth available to cover lessons for marking and computer rooms have been booked for these two weeks. To book Simon or Ruth, email Charlotte Baker; to book a computer room, use the sheet pinned up in the Eng Dept office.
2. Lesson observations
All members of the team will be observed in the next few weeks. The schedule has been sent out, please let JKY know if there are any issues. I know that observations are often stressful for people on both sides of the equation, so please see this as a chance to have a conversation with a professional colleague that, if handled correctly, should be a learning experience for you both. I certainly feel I learn as much from observing other people's lessons (and stealing their ideas!) as I do from receiving feedback on my own teaching.
3. Storytelling workshops
On Wednesday, there is the opportunity for you to be a part of a two-hour storytelling workshop, run by members of the Storytelling Museum. See email from PWA for more details.
4. Christmas meal
We're booked in at The Black Boy on Mon 12th Dec. Please let me know if you are coming, what you intend to eat (either from the Christmas party set menu: http://www.theblackboy.uk.com/pwpcontrol.php?pwpID=8031 or from the a la carte menu: http://www.theblackboy.uk.com/cp2.php) and give JKY a tenner for the deposit.
Have a great week.
