I just had to write some prof dev BS on a form. Rather than let it get lost in the system, which really WILL turn it into BS, I will post it here. I actually just looked at my post from September last year which outlined my goals for the year . Was useful in helping me write today.
Top marks to my blog!
BS follows:
I think that i have progressed well in assessment which is allowing me to tailor my teaching to hit assessment criteria. It also helps children’s behaviour when they know what they need to do. I will continue to work on behaviour management by simplifying my delivery, differentiating
effectively and setting acheiveable tasks. I will continue to strengthen relationships with the children through non curricular activities (ie tv channel for the school)
I’ve got a good summer project for you Richard.
Why not create a mySQL database of standard BS comments like:
“will improve methods of assessment in particular assessment for learning” and “will work on behaviour management by using a variety of strategies and interactive… blah blah blah”.
The a simple php form above it where you enter “I” or “The department” etc.. You also enter the number of sentences and paragraphs of BS to generate.
I’m sure you’d save every teacher in the UK about 5 hours a year
I like the beacon.tv concept.
