    I'm not sure about getting students to rush through the analytical questions through "races"... it's so pressurising and analysis generally requires slower and deeper reflection as opposed to feeling the need to "race". My two cents :)

    • @misskeysclassroom
      @misskeysclassroom Місяць тому

      Super important to give students time to analyse in depth - totally agree! The races are intended more as a way to get the students thinking about the specific ideas/techniques used before we break down the text further

    I know this video is two years old, but I did the exact same thing you did in year 10 doing work experience at a primary school. I did it at my old primary school twice. I was in a 1/2 class and a 3/4 class. And my second time was in the 3-6 special education class. I originally wanted to be a primary special education teacher. But now have my eyes set on high school. Specifically years 9-12. I plan on teaching Modern History and Drama

    • @misskeysclassroom
      @misskeysclassroom 11 місяців тому

      Of course! For my year 8 class some of mine are: - we show the school values to ourselves and others (my school is big on promoting particular values like kindness!) - we are quiet, listening and have our laptops closed when a teacher or student is talking to the whole class - leave our phones in our lockers - ask miss key if we need to leave the classroom - respect our classroom and leave the space the way we found it If you have any other questions let me know!

    Thank you for your amazing tips, Rachael 😊 I'm beginning my first year of high school teaching in 2024, and I'm feeling a little more at ease now after watching this video. I have worked at the school I'm starting my contract with in admin/teacher aide roles over the past year, and I'm lucky enough to already know a lot of the staff. I agree with you that networking is KEY for teachers. One piece of advice that I received from a teacher is to always introduce yourself to admin and get to know them/their roles as well as teachers. Looking forward to your next video! Enjoy your well deserved break.
