Good Morning 202 Students!!
What a beautiful morning! I hope you've all had a wonderful break. I was fortunate enough to spend the week in Naples, FL where it was 80+ degrees and sunny everyday. Every year when it comes time to leave there I wonder why I live in Ohio, and then I remember my grandkids!! :)
I'm glad to hear that your class went well with Rachel.
Some of you mentioned that maybe we should have shown you an example of bad teaching. My thought on that is that you've probably seen plenty of that, and I try never to use bad examples. We can be bad all by ourselves; we don't need to see how someone else does it. :)
I look forward to seeing you Friday and observing an excellent presentation on inclusion.
I'd love to have you give me an example of good teaching that you've seen at your placement or in a previous term.
See you Friday!

Hi,
Nice job on the first presentations! The bar has been set.....next????
Just a couple responses from class:
1) I do not know of any reserach showing whetehr or not it is better to have the studnet sit in during a conference. However, I did it all the time. However, it is important for the teacher to keep control of the conference and not let it turn into a trial. Also, there are a lot of schools doing student led conferencing. This is a specific program where students prepare their materials and exactly what they are going to say to their parents. I've never done it, but I've heard good things about it. It would, I believe, be well worth researching.
2) You do not 'transfer" to a different teaching job between districts. If you teach in an urban school and want to change, you need to find a new job that you do want, apply, and get yourself hired.
3) "Local" schools are usually rural.
Have a wonderful week. Please continue to share field placement experiences.
