ITT support plan advice

Hi, To follow up from my previous post about illness.

I have been informed that due to that and other issues my mentor has brought forward, I will have a meeting tomorrow to discuss a support plan. Can anyone give me advice? Should I be worried? Is there anything I can do or should do to protect myself?

These are the reasons listed:

Absence

I was Ill today and yesterday and last Friday (I have 1 lesson on Friday so thats not a big hit for my hours) but in on Monday (which I probably shouldnt have been becuase I exhausted myself).

I was told by a school that is hiring to come and visit the school but uni has told me I cant unless its a interview.

Communication

I told my Mentor as soon as I had decided for both days, but did not tell my Uni (I forgot to do that today and didnt know prior to today that I had to so fair cop there). Also My mentor knew I was ill and even told me to go home on Monday. Other than 1 interview I have had no other absences all year.

Lesson preparation

I have been planning my lessons. I did forget to print physical copies of a homework for a class last week. I realise have forgot to send lesson plans to my mentor but this has not been pointed out as if it had I would have just sent them. I have discussed with my mentor what I was planning to do in lessons.

Placement progress

Im not 100% sure what this means? My teaching last week wasnt my best as I was under the weather all week. I am a bit behind with marking which is almost done now.

I am very anxious about being put on a support plan because I did teach first last year and failed because I was stuck on one for 5 months (It required my subject person to meet with me and they did not respond to emails).

I have been working virtually none stop for weeks now and I am so close to finishing the course but I have anxeity and am panicing about this.

I am in the last phase of my ITT we have to be at 80% for 6 weeks. This thursday I have a school visit for a potential job. If I go home ill will that ruin my hours?

Hi

I am a 26 year old in poor shape. I am a bit overweight.

I last stepped into a gym 3 years ago, but loud music and 2 people who looked up at me send me into a panic attack and I had to leave. (I had horrible PE teachers who would ridicule me for being poor at sport, probably because of my dyspraxia)

Doing exercise in public is horrible to my anxiety and occationally (once a year) I can work the courage to do it once, hate it and stop. I am on meds for the anxiety.

I also have erm.. larger breasts, that sometomes feel like the make it harder to breathe.

I dont like workout influences or things like that especially the over-enthusiastic ones. I can just about handle a person telling me what to do with zero inflection or pressure.

Recently my collegue who is older than me pointed out how unfit I was (out of breath after steps) so I want to get better.

How do I go about this? Should I speak to my GP about issues or?
