Sundae Confessional

@drkeevil came up with the idea of a 'Sunday Confessional'; what our week in F.E. had been like. I missed the target last week (baking) and have now been challenged to write the post or forfeit 20 fresh baked, cream and jam filled scones to @clyn40.

Well, this week it's a double bonus: Scones and a Confessional.

Monday was a series of meetings on policy (Curriculum and Learning, Teaching and Assessment) then the long slog to write those policies. Some research and paper writing, then an end of year results meeting till 7. Contacted my last centre for a sample of work and stressed the urgency of the situation.

Tuesday Teacher Forum, on embedding video and using Twitter. That is the favourite part of the week, seeing the staff together and enthusing on new ideas. Followed by more policy, and a Curriculum and Quality meeting, followed by another end of year results meeting till 7.15.

Wednesday a couple of lesson observations, deliver some CPD to Programme Managers and another end of year results meeting.

Thursday, more policy writing, a lesson observation and delivered CPD to lecturers, followed by the final end of year results meeting. Got home and enjoyed the fab #ukfechat with @mrssarahsimons et al.

In between, I met with people on IV, eILP, teaching strategies and ideas for assessment.
Looking back at this litany of paperwork, did I achieve? Yes. Do I miss being more involved in the Curriculum, hell yes.
