A recent experience..
As head teacher of a school
piloting missdorothy.com I decided to teach this session each week to
the Year 4/5 class myself. I was curious about how the program would
run but it has also allowed the Newly Qualified Teacher some non-contact
time.
This has been a superb experience
and luxury for me - and I think the children enjoy the sessions too!
I have been able to explore issues with the children, find out so much
more about them, build trust and respect through time of shared fun
but also quiet reflection. We have a better understanding of each other
and this can only be good for the children and the school.
I hope I will be allowed
to give the teacher some free time next year in order to continue Dot's
adventures.....and mine!
