OK, let’s get back to basics. You
might be an experienced teacher who just wants to confirm they are doing
a good job, a student starting out in their career or a lost soul
searching for desperate advice to improve their teaching. Either way,
this unique section for teachers, will cover a range of articles with
tips to help with specifically teaching D&T as well as your
general teaching practice.
I'm not convinced other professionals, even within the education sector,
can really appreciate what we deal with in our subject; having to have
eyes at the back of our heads in the workshop so we can spot that little
darling throwing wood across the room whilst trying to run around the
room helping 20+ demanding pupils all needing your help with the
practical steps. Not including having to keep up with all the unique
designs that our GCSE pupils are trying to manufacture whilst stretching
our brains in figuring out how each one will be made and having to be
there to help with the problem solving if it all goes belly up, all
whilst controlling the rest of the class! The list is endless! It’s a
tiring job where you have to do master the art of multitasking and
pupils are rarely sitting quietly, which let’s face it, is why we all
love the subject anyway!
