[Yr11 Information Technology] OC3 Running out of time

[WEIR Andrew]

Damien
I think we had this discussion last year.
I agree with all the points as outlined below.
We also have policy of a two week period listed as SAC FREE, For all vce
students.
This means that as of Monday I should not be running any sacs for my
students.
As our exams are in two weeks.

It is a struggle but I don't think we are the only subject either.

Subject: [Yr11 Information Technology] OC3 Running out of time

Dear Fellow IT teachers

I'm curious

How is it for you?

Despite my best intentions and beleiving myself to be moving along at a
reasonable pace I find that I run out of time to do justice to the final
outcome.

Even though this has happened in past years I still find it continues to
happen from year to year.

Contributing factors include:
1. Constant interruptions such as holidays, In-service days, sports days
various excursions etc,

2. Students being absent from class due to involvement in a variety of
school activities,

3. Students being away from long periods of time due to sickness

4. The length of the semester being shortened due to Yr 10 and 11 exams.

5. Repetitive content from outcome to outcome.


Does anyone else find that they struggle for time to do the final
outcome well.

OR

Am I just alone in this experience?
