Experienced teachers will tell us it can take years to master this job,
but if I'm honest, which I always will be, I will say that you will
never stop learning on the job. Every day is different as is
every pupil and their mood (and your own moods!!). You will never be
able to predict what the lesson will bring you and if that’s scary for
you, no need to be completely put off, you just need some coping
strategies and tips under your belt.
Believe me; you can never know it all when it comes to teaching,
especially in D&T as it's an ever expanding subject, but hey that’s why
we enjoy it!
So, the following columns on your left, will offer some tips in
specific areas of teaching D&T. If you would like to discuss
anything written, feel free to
email me. I
am very interested to hear your thoughts and any concerns you may have
and I will do my best to help.
