This school year concerning the New instructional techniques from NTI really helped me get off to a good start I was more in control and demand of my classroom. The problems I had last year with time management improved because I used the different methods and activities during the summer. I know my upper level students saw a change and improvement, because one of the students said the class seems to have more stuff added from last year concerning activity and instruction of criminal justice. I feel it doesn't matter how long you have taught your paticular subject or worked in that field when you receive good information that helps you to become a better teacher at your profession you should humble yourself and use that knowledge. I have a new confidence in myself as an instructor and that helps me with instruction for the day.


One thing that has become a problem that did not work in the classroom was attendance. Because we do so many hands on activity in CRJU sometimes you need that 23 to 28 students to make class interesting because of the grouping. Due to the fact of our county loosing 2,000 students Morrow High school has been hit the Hardest. My upper level courses are small which at times can be both a advantage and disadvantage. My peers say small classrooms are a blessing, but I enjoy the different personalties. I continue to find ways to help myself using the methods we discussed this summer I always refer back to the NTI book.
