Monday 15th April was a teacher training
day, I felt this would be good experience as not only I would see a usual teaching
day but the back work behind it.
The day began by an all staff meeting and then a
department meeting.
For the first half of the day, I and the 2 photography
staff had to assess the AS projects and give feedback, in which they used a
marking guide which was similar to our BA feedback forms. I felt very involved,
as I was able to give my thoughts and guidance.
Then we had to create a lesson plan for ‘Stop Day’
which is a day that a GCSE year group does one of their options for a whole
day. This stop day was for year 10s, in which they planned to do a planning
workshop for their mock final piece, along with starter activities. We designed
templates of what they need to include in their planning.
In the afternoon all the art staff came together
and moderated all the year 10s identity projects so far, we had to discuss and
agree if the grade the class teacher had given was appropriate, some of the
works got brought up or down a grade.
