<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This issue must concern all teachers of VCE
subjects. Whether you are providing dual purpose classes because you feel that
is in the best interests of your students or because you feel pressured to do so
by your school.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There is a clear issue here with the teaching of
two quite different studies within the one class. My opinion is that you should
say "No!" and teach only one study , ie either ITA or SD but not both. Otherwise
you will probably end up teaching both courses less well than you could and
should. So say "No!" to your school and choose to teach only one of the two
studies.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The other scenario is the teaching of year 11 and
year 12 studies within the same class. More feedback on this issue please - even
though it is OT for this list</FONT></DIV>

the year 12s have left I thought I might ask this question. This year
I have taught ITA and SD in the same classroom at the same time this
year. I have not been real happy with the way it went so I thought I would ask
if there anyone else in the same predicament and if so how did you handle it?
Or if anyone has some suggestions then I would be most grateful.</SPAN><SPAN
