My personal thoughts on teaching. Old vs. New. Two terms, albeit short terms, into teaching the new specification I have had a chance to reflect on the positives and negatives of each specification. Just place this into the context I have been teaching optional OCR GCSE for five years and prior to that full course OCR GCSE for the whole cohort nine years. However in saying all of this once we swapped to Religion and Family for term two the attitudes started to improve. Why.it was ‘real life...The new spe...

Are the students working hard? – mrsbakersblog
https://religiouslyminded15.wordpress.com/2016/04/30/61
My personal thoughts on teaching. Are the students working hard? Just to place this all in context I teach in a non selective school in Kent. We have students with incredibly low reading ages and families who face social deprivation. When students arrive at our doors many feel like failures as their friends have gone off to grammar school and they have not. So how do we get them to work harder or should that be smarter? How would you respond in the lessons? Wouldn’t you feel more valuable? Finally I want...

‘Avoiding Heresy’ – mrsbakersblog
https://religiouslyminded15.wordpress.com/2016/04/16/avoiding-heresy
My personal thoughts on teaching. 8216;Avoiding Heresy’. On Saturday I attended the London RE hub conference. It really was a wonderful day and it was wonderful to catch up with fellow passionate teachers of Religious Studies. However the day was also challenging as we were encouraged to develop our teaching of Christianity, Judaism and Islam. So where do I go from here? 1 thought on “‘Avoiding Heresy’”. 23/04/2016 at 2:40 pm. Reblogged this on The Echo Chamber. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Whose job is i...

My personal thoughts on teaching. The Day Fractions Broke My Brain…. 34 years later and I get fractions now. Well, you know, I get them enough to teach (most of) the basics to my class of 9 and 10 year olds without weeping. Just. But, I am beginning to see that as my head clammed up and my tear ducts opened, not only did I turn my back on the. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

My personal thoughts on teaching. Once more unto the breach. This time 15 years ago I was about to embark on my NQT year. I only planned do 3 years however as time went on I realised this was definitely the career for me. Over the last 15 years I have seen a lot of things change some things for the good and other things not so. I’m also excited to start this year. Having consecutive GCSE RS grpups was previously unheard of at my school. Leave a comment on Once more unto the breach. Old vs. New.

My personal thoughts on teaching. They think it’s all over. . Today marks the end of the craziest term I’ve had teaching for a very long time. Now before you think it was exam pressure I didn’t actually have year 11 this academic year. It wasn’t even the amount of paperwork I have to do as a Head of department. No it was the whole option process that caused it to be crazy! A class of 14. Now that may not sound great but the cohort is only 127. So I have nearly 11% of the cohort opting for RS....Finally t...
