FINAL BLOG POST - OUR "DAILY TRIPLE" (DUE 12/1).

This week I would like you to use your imagination. You have just won the lottery and will leave your teaching post immediately to travel around the world. As you leave your keys you meet your replacement. You are asked to give this new teacher just ONE piece of advice. What would that be, and why? Enjoy your world expedition!

Blog Post - Week 7

This past week in my own teaching I felt a little disconnected which prompts my question to you, "What was the moment (or moments) when I felt most disconnected or disengaged as a teacher - the moment(s) I said to myself, I'm just going through the motions here?"

Another Week Down

This has been an exhausting week. I had two observations this week ( school and Jessie ), both went well. Jessie, thanks for the suggestions. On Tuesday, the female teachers escorted the male instructors to " Chef Cafe Elite" (Culinary Arts dining room ) and served them lunch prepared by the Culinary Arts department. The menu was : tossed salad. vegetable medley, chicken, salmon, steak, baked potato, rolls, heart-shaped sugar cookie with strawberries and whipped cream, iced tea. They had a choice of getting all the meats or choosing which piece they wanted. Most chose all three. Upon leaving the cafe, each were given a goodie bag of sweets. Since it is a Leap year , it was decided to "PAMPER" the male instructors. This turned out to be a great success and a bright spot for the week. I am looking forward to Monday off, even though our Monday night class will take place. Have a good "Mental Health" day.

Did the female teachers get any of the prepared lunch? What sort of pampering did THEY get?; February 19, 2008 at 7:29:00 AM EST
