Reading Skiplex Instructor Academy - Week 5

16 June 2014

Throughout weeks 3 & 4 we'd been starting to learn about teaching techniques and they're different aspects. There are many different types that all have their own strategies. By Friday of week 4, it was time for us to give it a go. We were assigned one part of the central theme and given some time to prepare a lesson. Then, to climax the week, we performed our lessons on Kyran and Ollie.

This week was Week 5, this week we focused on ironing out any critiques or flaws that were found in the way we structured and taught our lessons. I, for example, was given the task of improving my confidence.

We had 3 assessments throughout the week, 2 with Kyran and 1 with Dan. Each time, everyone had improved from the last. Everyone agrees that they have seen a difference in themselves over the course of the week, and feel as if they have progressed.

Hopefully, with enough practice and enough planning, everyone should feel good and ready for their final assessments in September.

Well, sadly, that is all for this week, but I will be back next week to keep you up to date with the progress of the Reading Instructor Training Course here at Skiplex.
