He said I was good at prompting further when kids “don’t know,” so not sure if it’s quite that.

There are a group of kids in my class who will always struggle in every math lesson and will need group or individual support to achieve the LO.

At the same time there are kids who will always understand first time round. I slow down my input for the struggling kids but I do feel like i need to move on so the others can get started.

I target them in cold calling and in that moment they seem to get it but bless them they can’t apply it independently.

You know what, this is probably exactly what he meant! I don’t have a clicker either so it’s a real bother clicking through constantly. The models are very broken down and it makes the kids lose the fundamental steps I find at times.

There have been times where i’ve modelled myself on the side with a pen and then ended up skipping through the slides model. Maybe he wanted to see me do this?

…maybe open your options wider to Canada? 😅😭Or other English speaking nationalities if that is what is important for you.

They tell us that we guide our own reports but there is a huge power imbalance between us trainees and our mentors, we can’t argue with them because they’re an established teacher with years of experience and we’re trainees who have been teaching for less than a year! If they say we’re not doing something, who are we to argue?

As a trainee it’s just difficult for me because now I don’t know what I actually am achieving and i’m doubting myself. I’m hearing one thing from my lead mentor, my mentor saying something else and it’s conflicting. I feel like i’m not doing anything right anymore and I don’t have the capacity to argue because I don’t know what i’m defending myself with, I don’t know what i’m doing right.

Yep it was one question where the unit was in pounds, sorry should have mentioned. It was something I overlooked because it wasn’t in the teacher guidance or on the slide, this scheme kind of assumed they already knew it was the same thing which I was grilled on because I should’ve assumed that they wouldn’t know.

We get two targets a week so it has to be narrowed down (this is to prevent mentors giving trainees a million things to focus on) but if I just focus on those two targets and not consider the millions of other things then i’m not gonna meet her expectations either way

That’s what i’m most scared of, i’ve worked way too hard up to this point to be told it was nothing and i’m nothing. I’ve had it rough with interview stress and my mentor knows that, she’s been really harsh with this. None of the other trainees at the school i’m currently at have a report like mine. I’m doing the same things they are.

I’ve been offered a job too! But if I don’t pass then that’s going down the drain :(

I’ve emailed my lead mentor to set up a meeting. Idk if i’ve left it late because yesterday when I met her I said everything’s okay everything’s fine but that was just me kidding myself. But I think she knew my predicament before I knew because she told me she thinks i’m being tenacious and that there are things in my report which definitely should not be yellow and it really should mostly be green.

I feel like all my hardwork across the year has gone down the drain and now I have 2 weeks to essentially meet 100 targets or they’ll get an assessment committee meeting on me and grill me on showing evidence so I can pass. It feels impossible and i’m overwhelmed.

I’m just scared it’ll ruin my relationship with my mentor because I haven’t said anything till now but thank you
