Hi Mark, thanks for getting back so quickly. We have suggested to having classes that are the same running a the same time, but we were ignored by the previous admin leaders. Hopefully our new principal will be more broard minded.
I personally would like to take up your offer to come and visit. I will try to give you a ring before the week is out.
Cheers, David

Hello all,
I am seeking some help on behalf of my fellow technology teachers. We have moved into our new POD building but our admin have not been able to help us with how we fit into the open-learning curriculum. We have one technology room, to cater for systems and design and we now have 40 students in this one room.
The admin has a vision for junior level classes but they have not thought about how this will blend into VCE. I was hoping there are schools out there that have dealt with this problem, my staff are struggling and our new principal has encouraged us to seek help, weather locally, Melbourne or interstate.

Hi David
At Wangaratta HS we have a new (12 months old) open "flexible" work space which was "designed" for 3 classes of 25 students, (1 Metal and 2 wood). We have faced a number of issues with the space which we are attempting to over-come.
The biggest issue is timetabling and getting the mix of classes right. It is very difficult when you are teaching cross purposes. It works best when you double up on classes e.g. 2 yr 7 wood classes or two yr 8 classes etc. Otherwise delivery is very difficult. Having three classes on at once is very noisey and a little stressful so we try to minimize this happening (difficult to acheive sometimes).
As you could imagine the movement of students is also an issue especially if there are 75 students and three teachers using the workspace.
We have found teaching unit 1 & 3 classes works really well in the space you just need to make sure you are well organised and keep each other in the loop about what you are planning. The other thing that is important is that you have plenty of tools and equipment to share around at peak times (managing all this of course is another issue!).
If you want to come and see our space or chat over the phone please feel free to ring me on 57230500.
Regards
Mark
