Ours (ES) don't nor do they get it when its ES week. One of the old AP's use to get the students to make a card for them. But now she left, the new AP in charge of ES doesn't celebrate or acknowledge it. I tried to get something happening for ES staff but was quickly told that they (leadership) will do something.We have quite a few teacher aides at our school and they put a morning tea on for us and were telling the kids to wish us happy World Teachers Day. Great of them but pathetic really that it had to come from the bottom not the top.
Of all the things to complain about in a job though, surely it's number 9999 on the list.We have quite a few teacher aides at our school and they put a morning tea on for us and were telling the kids to wish us happy World Teachers Day.

I'll agree to disagree.Probably. And I really couldn't care. I wouldn't have even known it was World Teachers Day unless the teacher aides had put something on. But it can be indicative of staff morale and level of admin support.
Got my first prac for Secondary English coming up in a few weeks.
Any tips on what to expect?
Thanks heaps for that, I’m looking forward to it!Awesome. What Uni are you at mate? I'm in my final semester.
Definitely meet your mentor teacher as soon as possible. As soon as you get your placement get in contact with your school and your mentor. The more planning you can get done before hand the better. Also, get as much work done at the school as you can as you can get help in real time from your mentor and other teachers in the department. It will also mean less work you have to do at home and you can get more sleep. The other teachers are more than willing to help if you need it. Also ask for as many resources as you can while there.
In terms of teaching, my biggest piece of advice is scaffold. Make sure your scaffolding is on point. I'd say that most of the battle is scaffolding.
Ask for help whenever you need it and speak to your mentor if you are having trouble. You are not expected to know everything and being a first prac, you will find you actually know very little. If you are not asking questions, your mentor might get a bit concerned.
Thanks heaps for that, I’m looking forward to it!
I’m up at ECU.
Haven’t had anything to do with Brian yet but I’ve got Barbara.Same. So you have Brian and Barbara?
If you have any questions don't be afraid to ask. I'm more than happy to meet up on campus if you want.
So I have been asked to take on a 1st year PST. I looked at their paper work and the notes and observations they have to do have changed significantly from when I took one on about 2 years ago. Each day they have a different focus. I might just alter it so they can just record the notes across the 5 days (and place them under the days required).
One thing that has deterred me in previous years was when some just don't bother taking the notes or decline my offer of giving them resources to use later in their rounds or teaching.
Am I asking too much from PST's to keep a reflection log or notes and collect resources? I use to have a folder where I collected tons of resources (before we had USB's and teachers provided digital copies).
I'm a third year HASS teacher. This year Geography isn't taught in upper school at my school but will be next year and having an undergraduate degree in just geography before I got my teaching degree I thought I would teach it as it's my passion. My head has chosen a history teacher to teach it though who only has two years teaching experience wtf? Have to say I'm a little pissed and thinking about speaking to someone about it. My head says I might teach it in the future but I doubt it. This history teacher is a real arse licker whereas I just get my work done.
I make mine dive straight in. The more teaching they do early the better imo.So I have been asked to take on a 1st year PST.

Best subject in the world, geography.
Are you more of a physical or human geography person?

I like the city planning component in human geography but am more of a fan of natural landscapes so more physical geography for me. How about you?
Even though I come from a rural background, I’m a massive planning/human geography nerd. Follow heaps of demographers and cartographers on Twitter, read skyscraper city on the daily etc.
Seeing your teaching HASS - is that WA? Have you got a link to the syllabus for stages 4-5? Even though I’m not teaching anymore I’d be interested in comparing them to NSW
Do you guys also have to study primary production at any stage in depth?
