Hello!
I applied a week ago, found out straight away near enough that they'd like to offer me an interview.
It's tomorrow and I feel really unprepared! I have been out of work/education for a long time now. I finished my degree and had my baby, she is 2 now.
I have to do a 5 minute presentation on an educational topic; I have chosen strategies on challenging behaviour and nurturing positive behaviour... only because I worked at a school with children with challenging behaviour so thought I'd be knowledgable.
I then have to do a 10 minute story telling sessions to a group of 8-10 year olds. I have chosen a book by Michael Morpurgo "Friend or Foe" and I was going to read the first chapter then ask the children about how they'd feel being evacuated, leaving home etc. maybe throw in and ask some differences between evacuation now and then. How they'd communicate with parents etc.
Does that sound okay?
I'm really nervous and just don't feel prepared! Trying to practice alongside it being summer holidays with two children to entertain too!
I have to do a piece of writing on core knowledge and of course a panel interview too.
It's the presentation that I am worried about the most!! I am fine standing up in a class to teach but the thought of doing a presentation to interviewees makes be nervous. Any tips welcome! Thank you.
