Artefact

Artefact? what is an artefact? I had no idea until I did some research.

I found from my Inquiry that teachers don't really get a lot of help on motivation, so I thought about presenting my work in a way that could possibly help teachers.

I had a look at other BAPP students ideas and decided on a guide for teachers.  I produced 20+ pages and asked a local printer if they could print it in a booklet style. It only cost £7.50 and I bought three, one for submission, one for myself and a spare - in case my school want to use it.

The artefact is a nice way to present your work and is a good way to culminate all the work done throughout the modules.

BAPP - the final hurdle

My journey on the BAPP course is coming to an end.  In the final module I feel I have really engaged with the learning and I have put a lot of effort into each part of the module.  Not only has this course helped with my networking (from module 1) but it has helped with my progression as a teacher.  My Inquiry has helped me in more ways than I had originally thought ! It has helped with my dance teaching, my teaching assistant role and life in general.  I now have the confidence to continue on to gain teacher status to become a secondary school teacher, and feel I have formed a professional network that will benefit me now and in my professional future.  The course has been more demanding than I first anticipated, I had to defer last term and I remember a conversation when I first started the course when I asked if it would be possible to complete the course quicker ! -  I realise how silly that must have sounded now.  I couldn't be happier now with how i have approached this final module and feel prepared for the submission date.  I know that if I had handed in my work last semester 1.there wouldn't be much 2.it wouldn't have been to a standard I was happy with.

I hope everyone is getting on well with the work, and are also looking forward to completing BAPP.
