    I mess up.

    someone sits in at the back and make notes about what you are doing. My pace is always really bad and I nearly always forget some instructions cos I am too busy concentrating on what he is doing at the back of the room.

    I can't do it. It always go wrong and if it keeps going wrong I will lose my job.

    My results are good - consistently good, and my classes pick to do the subject further up the school. The kids like me my lessons are fine when no one is watching me.

    I am so upset.

    can you just think of the observer as a new pupil and sorta ignore them?

    Buffy - have you had bad 'marks' when you've done this before or do you just feel that you do badly?

    I do well when one boss observes badly with the one tomorrow and the last official one was when I had stitches in my gum and I nearly failed cos I could hardly speak - which is why all this has happened

    I absolutely HATE my job.


    I could try pretending he is not there and he doesn't matter.


    I mean I do think he is a prat and even more so recently.

    Game it. Plan that lesson out in detail with a checklist with actions and times. You wouldn't do it for a normal lesson, but it's not a normal lesson. Go through that checklist like it's a script. Tick it off as you complete the sections, and keep on the schedule.

    But I'm sure you said that at least one of them had went very well.
