  13. Voices from the Classroom • “Classroom Management. Oh god, help! Is it my voice? Is it my language? ....Am I boring? Do I need a whistle? A bell? A door bell? A cooler hand signal? An accent? A funny hat? A stun-gun? Carpeted floors/walls/ceiling? .....What will get their attention, and sustain it?” Induction Ongoing PD

  14. Voices from the Classroom • “One issue that I wish was covered more in depth at my faculty of education is assessment and evaluation. It wasn't until I really had to put number marks into categories and crunch the numbers that I felt very uncertain of how to do it properly.” Induction Ongoing PD

  15. Voices from the Classroom • “How to teach to so many different learning levels...or how to assess the different learning levels and how to report on the very low students. I just did my first report cards and I felt very lost. I've gone through a difficult process of throwing away the book and starting to try and teach to the ‘real’ needs of my students.” Induction Ongoing PD
