Ready, Respectful, Safe - An Introduction to BMET
Today marked the first induction day on site at BMET College where crucial
information about the placement was
delivered. The main stance on policy came under the motto of “Ready,
Respectful and Safe” where
both students and staff were expected to be –
Ready – To learn, for
example, by having pen, papers and the motivation to learn.
Respectful – Courteous
and respectful to everyone, with a focus on British Values.
Safe – Ensuring the
wellbeing and safeguarding of students, from fire safety to ID cards and
correct usage of College facilities.
In regard to my teaching, I was selected for ESOL (in
relation to my subject specialism for the PGCE). The two main groups of
learners were 16 – 18-year olds and adults. The only difference being that depending
on their level of entry (for example, pre-entry) the certificate obtained varied
from a printed certificate for participation granting access to Entry Level 1
and/or an actual examination board grading and marking students against
official criterion, in order to obtain an officially recognised qualification
(e.g. GCSE).
After making initial contact with my mentor the week’s schedule
is set to be one full of classroom observations and timetable arrangements.
Organising forthcoming lessons into ones with gradual progression into teaching
partial to entire lessons as the course progresses. Though I currently have no
understanding of the grading criteria, syllabi, curriculum and student
level/language proficiencies, these are all aspects I will be paying most
attention to throughout this first week.
It has been arranged for there for be somewhere between 9 to
12 hours of teaching per week, adequately supplying enough time to fulfil the 150-hour
requirement of the PGCE with encouraged involvement in other lessons not just
in our subject specialisms but in amongst other courses. All in the aid to
broaden our teaching experience and help us to continually develop
professionally.
