Reflections of a Wannabe Teacher.
So I finished my work placement last week.
Working within the school for 2 weeks was such a fantastic opportunity, especially getting stuck in to a more arty way of working! I’ve missed being part of such a messy and creativity fuelled environment. It was great to see different approaches to techniques and being re-introduced to methods that I have been unfamiliar with for such a long time.
Being two years in to my degree I have found myself becoming used to a neater, more refined way of working which is so far from what I used to be like at A-level, so working back in this way has definitely been a development welcomed with open arms, especially with my third year and research for my FMP looming.
That aside though, working with so many different classes meant I got a variety of experience and I started t feel myself develop as an individual, from the nervous stuttering mess on the first day to the confident and organised teaching assistant I became towards the end of my experience I felt I was able to pass on skills that I was confident with as well as learning news ones.
After a busy two weeks students produced some great outcomes to different projects that I started to work on with them. All responses I had from students were very positive and they all seemed to enjoy introducing fashion elements in to their work!
