The story so far…

I have been looking at how I used to teach (when my pupils achieved impressive results) and how I teach now. I don’t think I am doing anything particularly impressive now, but I still think it’s worth reflecting on what I do.

In Part 1, I described the context in which I teach.

  • I teach part-time and don’t have my own classroom.

  • My school has policies which dictate many lesson features and routines.

  • As part of those policies, all lessons are based around workbooks.

I also described how I start my lessons.
