Yahaay!

That's it...got all my standards signed off by my mentor.
For the course I'm on my mentor checks all my evidence and signs off when she has seen it, and then, providing I don't get externally moderated, the DRB never even see it! They just ask to see the booklet where my mentor has signed me off! Seems bizarre that no-one else will ever see all this paperwork, but whatever!
Also, the way it works for our course is that the external moderators will see any people who the mentors have had concerns about and another person within a small radius randomly - and theres no-one else near me. So, hopefully there should be no fear of external moderation.
Still waiting to hear about my asignment scores, but providing they were okay then I've all but got through the course. Phew.
Now I've started thinking about my new job. I've been in and seen the classroom which is lkely to be mine (the one I taught my interview lesson in) and chatted to people there. I know I'll be taching yr 5 English, Maths, Science and RE, and some Yr 7 English too. I would have liked to have taught History, but ho hum. The current NQT there says she's had a fantastic year there, and been really well supported, so that was nice to hear.
Next week I get to chat to the current teachers' of my future form and find out about the kids, then the week after I've got the kids for the transfer day. Exciting stuff!
