Thank you for your indulgence this week in terms of Tuesday. We have significant ‘primary’ involvement with out-of-town grandchildren this week.

Can we aim to gather at our room (Red 6.1.03) at 1.30 pm next Tuesday October 6? I would welcome an RSVP sometime this week (by/on Friday) if that is okay.

If you have points you would like included on our discussion agenda for Tuesday, please note them down. If you were comfortable to do this, I would welcome an emailed copy beforehand as this helps with thinking time.

Points you may like to raise in terms of the ‘theory’ and ‘practical’ linkage of our course would be particularly welcome.

In my opinion it is important that you conduct a period of personal reflection (call it debriefing) following a practice teaching round. That will not happen all at once because reflections keep on manifesting themselves, sometimes at the oddest of moments. That’s when a notebook in pocket or purse can be handy, because a brief notation about the thought as it happens can be recalled at a later and more convenient time.

Your portfolio presentation and the feedback received from that will be also be helpful as you consider the weeks of the practicum.

All the best for a great day
