I found the Thursday lecture full of advice to help me on professional experience in a few weeks. It is one of the few times in the course that we have a had an entire lecture devoted to the practicalities of the classroom and the single viewpoint of an experienced teacher. It has already influenced me in my planning of my units as I have decided to use checkin questions and a line up outside the classroom in the hopes that I will be able to get to know my students a little better.
I also found the suggestion of where to sit the disruptive students very interesting. I had never really thought about it before and the comment about eye contact and distraction techniques that these students employ were really insightful.
I hope that I will be able to employ some of your practical suggestions and it will help to relieve the stress of professional experience!
