Description
Summary:Dealing with drug smugglers and bootleggers was much easier than coping with a Year 8 class. So says Stuart Reilly, former customs officer and now a teacher on a Graduate Teacher Programme at Dane Court Grammar School in Broadstairs. He has two Open University degrees under his belt, in maths & physics and maths & amp; computer science, but teaching is a lot harder than he imagined, especially as he is learning on the job. He is on a steep learning curve and open to all the advice he can get. He called on Teachers TV for help, so we sent our life coach Gladeana McMahon off to the seaside. Classroom management and dividing his time fairly between classes are what Stuart sees as his problem areas. Having observed him in the classroom, Gladeana offers expert advice, then returns two weeks later to see if he's taken it.
