Today I used a simple tool that I observed a fellow teacher using, and boy did it make a difference! It is often the little things that can make a teacher's day that much simpler.
Today I used an online stopwatch application to help me keep my timing on track in the lesson. Suddenly I was not stressing over how my timing was going in class (an area I have struggled with) and was able to engage mire fully with what was in front of me right here and now.
As I said 'a simple thing' but it made a difference to this PST.
This also reminded me of the value of observing colleagues in their practice, but that is a topic for another day.For those wondering this is the app I used.
