Well a few things cropped up this week. Most importantly is the importance of good marketing and planning. The college has started my new course two weeks before Christmas with no publicity. This is giving me a huge problem. Many of the confirmed returning students are away on holiday over the Christmas period and no one new knows my course is starting I have some learners returning but barely enough. If this class closes I won’t have enough hours for the teacher training, and enough work to live. So potentially ill need leave both and get another job. This would be a shame as I enjoy the work. The university informs me I haven’t paid for my tuition I applied for the grant, I completed there overly complicated application form online (the most complicated form I have ever had to fill in) I called them this morning and they assured me I would be paid for the course there had been some mistake on their part and the £600 bill two weeks before Christmas isn’t intended to have me dancing on the end or a rope at this festive time. Despite all these complications I’m working my way through the assignments to the best of my ability. I would be happier to have seen some examples of successful submitted work if only to be comforted I’m on the right track. But with the time were spending on micro teach sessions, which whilst an undeniably valuable learning opportunity, seem to prevent us having our questions answered at a time where support would be useful.
