I have had a successful week, this past week. By no means flawless but I have developed routines with the planning and marking demands. I mark my GCSE exercise books fortnightly as best is possible.
We have a fortnightly teaching timetable which lends itself to setting home learning and taking in books on that rotation.
The whole-school expectation for marking is three weekly for a good performing teacher. I will endeavour to keep to my two-week plan.
In terms of planning I can successfully say that I am able to write lesson plans, create appropriate PowerPoints and supply resources, but I am finding that until you meet the pupils who have a 3A or a 7C (using the previous national curriculum levels), it is a challenge to make everything completely accessible.
