5. Leaving All Your Course Essays Until The Last Minute
You vowed youd never do this again. The last two weeks of your degree were a mess of musty books, sheets of notes and Wikipedia. Never again. All you had to do was four lesson observations, a reflective essay on a practitioner, evaluation of your teaching and learning, schemes of works, term plans, lesson plans, mini-essays on Differentiation, Equality & Diversity and Health & Safety and an informal diary. What could go wrong?! Well, drinking on school nights didnt help. Getting an extension didnt help either as now everything is due in on the same day. Also, having the life sucked out of you by being a student teacher didnt help either. This is it. Two weeks of lesson observations, essay writing and no sleep. Yep. Youre definitely still a student.
