Hello. So, it feels like I’ve achieved quite a lot in the last week. I’ve trained another tutor to assess for us, and it went quite well. There are still a few creases to iron out, but that’s more to do with the way I’m teaching, rather than what I’m asking assessors to do, which is better than the other way around. My main problem at the moment is accurately defining, and communicating two key points, so I’ll be working on that during this week, and hope to arrange to train another assessor soon.
This new assessment system will replace our current system, making assessments more frequent, and more convenient for potential tutors, but I still have to arrange our last few assessment days, and am currently frantically looking for a venue in London that we can use over Christmas.
Also this week I made my first tentative steps towards designing a group course to teach our teaching ideas. I have no clue how long it will take for that to be completed, but I’m quite excited about working it, as well as a little apprehensive since I’ve done very little teaching of groups before.
