We are in a fortunate position at our school whereby due to the number of co-educators and teaching staff available, each tutor group has both a tutor and a co-tutor – two staff members to assist in delivering a structured start to the day.
Across my placements and observations I have seen many versions of what should be done in that tutor period in the morning, ranging from mini-lessons to children sitting and having a natter for 20 minutes, which leads me to wonder what the purpose of that allocated time really is. Who is it for? The students or the teachers? Or is it simply an exaggerated time slot created purely to monitor attendance?
