<DIV>I've been doing this for the last couple of years as well. I agree with Brian. It can be done but it can also be a pain to manage at times. You hit the nail on the head; I have to do it to keep the option of doing the subject open to kids. You know sometimes there can even be advantages when the cert III kids help out the cert II students.</DIV>

I don't see much difference with the Cert II being new, just a bit<BR>more careful planning to make sure it all fits together and all the<BR>resources are in place. Running the two classes together is pretty full<BR>on and a bit of a pain to manage. As much as you can you want to be<BR>instructing the Cert IIIs while the Cert IIs are working on projects and<BR>vice-versa. It's not always fun but it can work and at least you keep<BR>the subject alive for the students of that year level, who would<BR>otherwise miss out. <BR><BR>Good luck,<BR><BR>Brian Pearce<BR><BR>-----Original Message-----<BR>From: vet-mm-bounces@edulists.com.au<BR>[mailto:vet-mm-bounces@edulists.com.au] On Behalf Of Fran Ibbott<BR>Sent: Tuesday, 7 Oc

Basically I have been told that if I want the<BR>VET<BR>MM Subject to ru at Cert II and Cert III next year, I will need to have<BR>a<BR>combined class - or the Cert II class will not run.<BR><BR>Considering the new training package, and then teaching old the Cert III<BR>course as well, what are some other people's feelings about doing<BR>this... Am<BR>I crazy to accept it? Obviously I want both classes to run, so that<BR>there<BR>will be a class next year too... But wondering if I should have my head<BR>read...<BR><BR>Thoughts??<BR><BR>Regards,<BR><BR>Fran<BR><BR><BR><BR>Important - This email and any attachments may be confidential.
