PLACEMENTS

  • Introduction
  • Year 4

  • Year 2
  • Year 1

Over the course of my study I was placed in 5 schools, 2 in the first year and then 1 different school for each consecutive year. To follow is a brief outline of these placements and what I did at each school.

In addition to our teaching placements, we were tasked to find an additional multi-agency placement. My multi-agency placement saw me supporting the e-learning co-ordinator for Central Bedfordshire's Local Education Authority (LEA), working closely with a school, identified as failing, to develop and introduce the Netmedia Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) to staff and pupils.
