Signing up for Observations

I know it seems like you have a long time left in your placement, but really time is running out pretty quickly. Below are some days and times I am free to come observe. Especially if you aren't in Baldwin county, please see if you can arrange for me to see 2 or 3 of you in one trip. And sign up soon - my calendar tends to fill up with meetings pretty quickly. It is your responsibility to make sure you get at least one observation and preferably one from both Dr. Jordan and one from me.

Meeting times

I'm in the middle of moving offices, so we'll meet in my new office  which is next door to my old office. It is probably 102 or 103? You have to walk through a little storage room to get to my actual office.

At these meetings I will ask the following…

Are you at the "A" level in terms of…

• Completing the modules with detailed, high quality answers uploaded promptly to Livetext? (We'll look at some of your work together in Livetext)
• Contributing to class discussions face-to-face and through the blog with insightful contributions?
• Maintaining professionalism according to our professionalism rubric and attendance policy? (attached)
  

Placements

• How did your last placement go? What went well? What could have gone better?
• How are you challenging yourself in your new placement? What are your goals at this point for placement?
• I'll see if I can get access to the results of the survey your last host teacher completed.
• Overall, what makes you stand out as an exceptional student and teacher?

LGBTQ in the USA

You can try singing "LGBTQ" in the USA to the song "R-O-C-K in the USA" by Bruce Springsteen, but it doesn't work very well. Anyway, load this blog up with questions and comments, then go away for a while while your colleagues work their magic, then return and, voile!, tons of amazing ideas to respond to.
