On entering the college, then the classroom, I started to edge towards the "nerves" option and the overwhelming thought... What have I done? It reminded me of the first evening on my BSL level three course. I survived that and after an evening of introductions and guided tours, I believe I will survive this too.
There was an intriguing array of people, a variety of ages, backgrounds and vocations all with the common goal - learn to teach well.
It was reassuring too, to have two tutors putting us at ease, Richard and Tamara, two people I imagine we will come to know well as the course progresses.
Very little classroom time, although we did receive our curriculum and enjoyed our first taste of teaching effectively - How to get a class to review and comment on a rather dry and lengthy guide? introduce a competitive element. Not everybody's cup of tea, but it worked on the whole.
