PD & SFD

Last Friday I engaged in a full day PD with my mentor. We participated i a PD on Scratch. It was done in school with 6 other teachers. We were taught specific coding of scratch that we were going to be teaching our yr 8 class for their assessment piece they were about to undertake. I found the PD really interesting and we all had a good laugh and a bit of fun in it. Knowing a little bit about the game I interacted with some of the other teachers to help them when they were unsure of what to do. There are a hep of tutorials I can use to refresh and to continue to update what i know on scratch, here is an example.

Monday was a student free day, I attended school and spent the day doing my planning along with my mentor. It was a very quiet day but i think we achieved a lot in terms of planning. I got all of my lessons created and designed and was able to have good conversations with my mentor about my professional experience and returning next year for my final 2 placements. Hopefully this is something that the prac office will let me do as I feel I will benefit from completing a whole term at the school rather than just bits here and there.
