Default First assignment tomorrow!

Hello all!
I finished my PGCE on friday and already have my first supply assignment tomorrow. The agency are easing me in gently with just a morning session in year 4 and I've been told work has been set. However, I'm a bit unsure as from the school's reputation (and OFSTED) it has a lot of early EAL students and this is something I didn't come up against in my course. Any tips for how to tackle this, or tips in general on how to prepare? P.S. I am supposed to bring a laptop or will one generally be provided?
Thanks x

Hi and welcome!

Firstly, don't take a laptop - there should always be one in the classroom (although I won't guarantee that they will always work!!!) Generally, as an occasional supply, you need to log in as "supply" and then have restricted access (if the teacher is on-site, they will normally log in under their name so you have full access) - the password is often the same but, hopefully, someone will help you when you arrive. I generally take a memory stick with calming/tidy-up time etc music and graphics, some useful power points etc but don't worry if you haven't got one prepared as this is something you can develop with experience. You will also develop general resources as time goes by - have a look on this forum for plenty of

s of things to 'put in your teaching bag'.

As for EAL, I wouldn't worry too much and there's not a lot you can do to prepare unless you know what languages you might encounter. The classroom should be set out with plenty of visual aids and have TA support if the language is a major barrier. You're only there one morning so you can't be expected to solve all the problems!

Have fun and good luck
