I work part time, teaching just sixth form in an independent.
New HT ramping up the game wants ALL teachers to run an activity/club/extra curricular class ( activities for us are mid day, not after school)..... leaving aside the fact I do not ever see lower school children and do not know them and have only one period where this activity can be run ( and its unpaid because I am not paid on a fractional contract)
I need to know what I can do?
I do not do potholing, abseiling or rock climbing. I cant canoe and I have never lit a fire ( let alone a forest fire in survival skills).
I am an academic. I am cr*p at sports, dance music and drama - anyway, e have those.
I have no "skills" at all for crafts, art etc. My subject is far too "adult" for year 7 kids. I was never employed for that. I was employed knowing I had nothing else and that I was good at my specialism ( school needed good A level results and didn't have them at the time)
What sort of clubs are run at your school? I just need ideas.
Thanks.
