the school).
Because of the influx of the new year 7 students, the teaching staff
had a lot more responsibility than the previous year. 3 HASS
teachers had to undertake extra physical education/ health
education classes despite having no qualifications due to having
more students and less teachers/resources. This added an extra
strain to these three teachers.
My mentor teacher undertook a basic teacher centered approach
to teaching. However, another teacher I observed she took on a
different role from just teacher. She was caring and acted as a
therapist to some kids and was very student-learning oriented.
