Halfway Through Prac #1

It's official, I have passed the halfway point. Yesterday was day 16 of my prac and today is day 17. Huzzah! I am really enjoying it, and I have learned a ton, particularly about teaching the senior subjects. For me the answer is to BE PREPARED. I have had a great deal of anxiety, particularly about my grade 11 Physics class. I am finding that the content knowledge required is taking more effort to refresh than in Biology, Chemistry or General Science. Using OHTs, handouts and pracs has broken up the anxiety about teaching content in 100 minute blocks. What's terrifying is that the term has flown by and my senior classes only have four more content lessons each before exam week. I can understand how teachers (or learning managers) can feel under the gun when the terms move so quickly!
