Treading the Boards

So, I have been cast in the staff pantomime. In order to conquer my background cynicism and to hit standards that involve being involved in the 'corporate life of schools' I have volunteered for festive amateur theatricals where I will apparently be playing an Australian. Well, whatever it takes to hit those standards.
At the teaching end of the spectrum I am worrying about not meeting the needs of my top set classes. I think the blank spaces that I leave in lessons due to slightly inadeuate classroom management mean that learning is omitted, and that perhaps potentials are not being reached. This concerns me. My interim report was, however, fairly good, the only conspicuous lack of evidence being in my planning for the use of ICT in lessons.

Ah, technology, my Achilles heel. I will seek solace from such beastly innovations on the stage.
