Observation - Y9 Food Tech

Feedback received from SCH has been very good. Organisation, relationships with students, check points, seating plans, responses during lesson etc. were all positive. Discussed challenging students and how I 'pick my battles' - reacting in a calm manner to avoid confrontation/anxiety for both the students and myself.
Sarah has been a wealth of knowledge and a fantastic support throughout my first three terms at FFC. I always look forward to her observations and feedback feed forward.

Assessment Week - Term 3, WK6

Having to wrap my head around the logistics of the Assessment Week Timetable has been a struggle! Faculty meetings, chats with colleagues, chats with students (senior textiles), instructions and blank timetables (SLTs) has made a huge difference to my understanding. I've been able to support my Whaanau students in organising their timetables. Looking forward to two hour periods with my textiles students! Food tech is all organised with two practicals and the focus on healthy eating. My English class is moving onto a weaving/Hangi themed topic where they will be researching/building their knowledge about flax collecting protocol, weaving techniques and hangi prep. I will also be seeing my senior Textiles student's on Friday for a two hour period , unless they are in an exam.
