Teaching Practice

My next challenge is the teaching practice that takes place end of Febryary / beginning of March in the UK. If you are interested in reading more about my experience, please go to the page "Training abroad". I will not be mentioning the name of the school here,  but I can tell you that it is a state school in Essex offering for example A-levels and Applied A-levels in Business. In the Training abroad page I will be writing a diary during my training. 

So my next step is to finish my core plan, and make an online questionnaire for the students in order to learn to know them a bit better before my training starts. I shall also learn more about the Britain's school system: GCSE, GCE, A-levels, Applied A-levels, exam boards... They are all new to me..

I had lack of motivation towards these studies in the beginning of this year. It feels as if nothing was going smoothly from my home institution's side. There is too much hassle due to lack of information, and it has an effect on not just motivation but also graduation. I for example will not graduate this year. It is a shame, but on the other hand making that decision took pressure off from completing everything this year. 

Our study group is great though, and they helped me to get the spirit back! A good tip for all study groups: set up a closed FB group where you can communicate with each others! It is not just good for keeping up the motivation, but also for sharing information when the situation is unclear.

But I got my motivation back when I started writing my core plan. I am looking forward to my training. Luckily I have got a very good supervisor in the receiving school!
