Improved Teaching Practice

I think I most improved on planning group activities for the class.  At first, I didn't really monitor the groups well, expecting them to just "do the right thing" and trouble shoot on their own.  I soon realized, through trial and error, that I needed to constantly walk around and monitor each group.   They seemed to realize more that I was available for questions and to help them stay on task.  When they see me circulating, they stay on task more often and seem to accomplish more.  I will work on my timing for class activities for the next semester.  I still run out of time - not planning enough time or too much time for certain activities.  Cindy suggesed that I write actual times out in the lesson plan. I'll try that for sure because when we go to blocks in the fall, I realize that timing will be even more critical.
