Meeting with Linda Aloysius

I reached out to Linda as after reviewing the readings and resources on Moodle I was concerned I did not understand the course criteria and how it relates to my teaching practice as a technician.
After speaking with Linda I feel reassured that I understand the criteria. It was also good to discuss what the micro teaching could look like in relation to my practice. We discussed the gendering of mannequins, sewing techniques and rules and the possibility of exploring this within micro teaching.
It also helped to discuss the case studies and begin to consider issues we encounter as teachers. I have been teaching shirt and jeans sewing skills this week
Workwear gendering of clothes , lack of pockets in women’s clothing,
Directional fastenings

Learning differences ADHD
