MEETING 1 = WED 19 DEC 2018
Chatted with Aurelius today (8am my time 4-pm his) and we went over my idea and he advised me to focus on one curriculum area to begin with. I discussed the Construction + Automotive students and we agreed that in the new year I would carry out more empathy maps and implement ideas with students from these areas in their English and Maths lessons.

As I do not want to impose on Aurelius' time as he has found himself with other commitments this year I will contact Google to see if there is someone else who can help me.

I have used my SMART objectives to be more present in lessons and in the staffroom with English and Maths Students and Teachers over the last few months. From doing this and speaking to the students I have decided to do the following:

CENTURY TECH is a machine learning tool that is proving a useful tool for our GCSE English and Maths resit students - identifying the areas to develop for the students and re-directing them to where they need to align their attentions with personalised recommended paths eg Algebra related tasks for learners in need of more Algebra related practice

bcotenglish.com is being updated all of the time with quizzes and resources relating to Paper 1 and Paper 2 questions. The students and I have managed to get one of our wonderful Teachers Lee to record many 'How-to' videos that are being well-received by the students.

bcotmaths.com is being run by my former Apprentice/ current colleague Charlie James (Learning Technologist) and is herself a former GCSE resit student - she is also our lead on the CENTURY tech project and is providing unique insight on student motivation that is proving incredibly useful.

Andy and I had a Hangouts Meet chat today and went over this Site and discussed my direction, what I can do to track progress, and how I can embrace the shifting expectations of the project.

I mentioned how I am not producing the one deliverable I had envisioned eg an App, a Site, a Template etc. Andy assured me that by approaching this project holistically eg creating Sites, constant Empathy Maps, integrating Machine Learning, and producing Video Tutorials on the exams - I am creating a method as to HOW we might tackle my problem.

This was good to hear as I was worried I had been a bit diffuse in my efforts but as I am being led by what the students need I feel more confident in the project and how I m approaching and adapting it.

Andy also recommended using Google Analytics on the bcotmaths.com and bcotenglish.com sites we have built to track the impact - a good idea

As we are on the verge of the Exams my focus is on the development of the aforementioned sites and contributing to the new approach to how we teach English and maths in 19/20. We discussed including more of a split session Teacher Delivery/ Break/ Flipped and Blended approach next year with the focus being on more 1-1's for students (their most common request from my research).

I have a busy month and I'm struggling if I'm honest (my role of Teacher and Head of Digital Learning may need revising as I'm spread too thin) and can't keep on top of all of my responsibilities due to covering absent staff as well as having pressures in my personal life as well.

This Grid has been massively helpful to me in ensuring I am present and focused in the feedback with my Mentor - something I will look to embed in my Teaching as well in 19/20 onwards.
