The other day, before I went to see Acorn Antiques I went on a course for Assessment in RE. It was really good, excellent in fact. If you're a teacher you will understand that this is quite something, usually the courses we are sent on are rather on the boring side. If you're lucky you will learn something, but don't count on it.
The man that took our course actually knew what it was like to be a teacher, he understood workload pressures in a subject like RE where you see 500 pupils a week, he understood the difficulty of standing up to the larger departments when they set unattainable targets for marking, reporting etc. He had lots of practical ideas for ways to help and I fully intend to use as many as I can.
Useful training, who'd have thought it.
