In and out

That pretty much describes today as we were only in for a couple of hours. Today we concentrated on the different characteristics of teaching and how they could be shown to be analogous to other professions. For example, an actor's charisma would be needed to keep a class engaged and interested, while a navigator's leadership and guidance help to lead your students through the syllabus. We also started looking at the National Curriculum, its aims, and how the new KS3 and KS4 curricula differ from the previous ones

Awww, the navigator analogy is totally cheesy! Totally agree with the actor comparison, however. Body language, gestures, tone of voice, use of dramatic pauses...

Was this done in a lecture (all students) or a seminar?

(P.S. my word verification included the word 'yay'. YAY!)
