Well, I'm glad I didn't complete my action plan two weeks ago, because now I'm engaged, completing my Cert Ed AND doing Stage 4 AND planning a wedding would be a recipe for disaster. So I'll (hopefully!) be completing the Cert Ed and getting married. I think that's quite enough for me.

So what have I learned this year? Quite a lot, actually. I think I've covered most of the major experiences here, but generally I've become a lot more comfortable in my teaching skin. Where at the start of the year I hated being observed with a passion, now I feel more able to simply get on with the job of teaching, regardless of who's watching me.
I know that it takes work to keep your professional knowledge up to date, and this is something I need to work on but feel able to do.
My studies have, I feel, made me much more rigorous in the way I plan- I think a lot more about what I'm doing and how and why- though equally, a year's experience on top of what I had in September has meant that, generally, planning takes me less time. Of course in the new academic year, with new classes, I'll be back a few paces as I get to know the new students and their new sets of needs, problems, anxieties, personalities and strengths.
I know, from talking through the action plan, where I want to be and what I need to do to get there.
Most of all, I know that I love my job, and wouldn't change it for the world.
