other STs

just want to blog this quickly before i go onto the netowrk blog to record my Thurs class.

Had an email from DP last week saying he;s missed that last AR meeting and hadn;t thought of anything for his class and therefore wouldn;t take part this time (but would still help to run it (sic)) I emailed straight back saying (in a nice(ish) way that it wasn;t ok, he was an ST and therefore T & L was our remit and if he couldn;t be seem to be being creative in the classroom how could we encourage others too? He came straight down to the office.

I had to work really hard to get him to even talk about his classes. He deflected ever attempt until i said in the time was have been spent discussing why he can;t do anythign we could hvae put a plan into place for what he could be doing. TB then joined us and there was some more general chat before i brought it back to his teaching and i told him about the cheap digital cameras and how i had let my Ss take them home. He said he never really used images in his class - and bingo. we had a project for him. Huurah
