@MrCJBolton @BCUITEChat Yeah I’m always wary what I read in the Daily Mail! Why I was questioning it 😊

[Heather Shepherd @HeatherS_1505]

#BCUITEChat @BCUITEChat @MrCJBolton With the recent discussion that Secondary schools may possibly not be opening fully in September...will this have any impact on the school direct trainees commencing this Sep? https://t.co/WdnOO7IzLS

Over the moon to find out I’ve been awarded a First in my dissertation 🤩My performance of Edward Bonds ‘The Under Room’ @Big_Brum was probably the most challenging performance I’ve ever done but was so fascinated by the play and playwright loved every second of it!✨#drama

[Heather Shepherd @HeatherS_1505]

@MrColesDrama Really enjoyed reading this! I think this is spot on! I’ve always loved exploring plays/scripts through practicality but as you stated it may not always work when transferring knowledge from performance to paper ✨☺️

@open_drama_uk Gutted I missed this! Signed up to the mailing list so hopefully can access the documents 🤞✨

@MummasaurusRexx Make sure you have a fab lockdown birthday! 🎉I celebrated my 21st whilst stuck in the house! 😂 such a great idea! ✨can’t get enough of stationary 🤩

[Heather Shepherd @HeatherS_1505]

I’m such a stationary geek 🤩🤩 would love this for starting my PGCE ✨

[Heather Shepherd @HeatherS_1505]

@BCUITEChat #BCUITEchat Thankyou🙏 was a great help! ☺️

[Heather Shepherd @HeatherS_1505]

#BCUITEchat My main worry is that going into teaching GSCE and helping with Alevels, having the respect from the students may be difficult at first due to only leaving school 4 years ago myself! Does anyone have any tips/ advice? ☺️

[Heather Shepherd @HeatherS_1505]

@DramaTeacher90 @BCUITEChat That’s why I love drama! I feel you can connect more on a personal (as well as professional) level :)

[Heather Shepherd @HeatherS_1505]

@DramaTeacher90 @BCUITEChat #BCUITEchat I feel the same about some other practitioners in which my subject knowledge is limited! Or where I confuse them because there’s so many! I’ve been creating mind maps and resources of my own to break it down and simplify it for me :)

[Heather Shepherd @HeatherS_1505]

@MrBHobbis @BCUITEChat Thankyou! Yeah I’ve been trying to do a lot of reading the past weeks. Feel like I’m trying to cram a lot of information/ theory before September as I feel this help me in the long run! But there’s a lot!

[Heather Shepherd @HeatherS_1505]

@_YOSullivan @BCUITEChat @RSAAcademies Ah that’s good to hear! Yeah I’ve completed some school placements within RSA institutions for my degree and noticed their involvement with the arts straight away :)

[Heather Shepherd @HeatherS_1505]

@BCUITEChat Q1) #BCUITEchat I think for me after studying Edcuation Studies at University, being able to work in a school environment, having a hands on approach will allow me to put theory into practice which will be interesting to see! That’s why I chose the school direct route :)

Measuring a pupils progress with smaller& regular observations/assessments can provide a stronger awareness of pupils learning development &benefit those who struggle with stress/anxiety from exams. Is it fair to measure a pupils success from one exam?
