How has the start of this semester compared with the start of the previous semester? What did you do similarly? Why? What have you done differently? Why?
This semester is different in that I had to create new lesson plans. The start of school last year was smoother in that i had months of lesson plans prepared-Thanks to NTI! I did return from the break better equipped to handle school and administrative business. I still use the NTI lesson plan format. The only difference that I do this semester is the way I take roll. I took roll manually and electronically last semester, this semester I only take it electronically, it makes for a extra minutes that I tie in set induction, lesson, or closure.
I am also thankful that I developed all those hours of lesson plans. They do come in handy. Our administration is making us turn in a weeks worth of lesson plans for each of our classes the Friday before the week starts. It is an entirely different format that NTI taught us but at least my NTI plans are a good start.
ReplyDeleteWhat prompted you to just take roll electronically this semester? Just curious.
ReplyDeleteI actually don't like it because it takes up computer and class time(logging into attendance) and I actually forget sometimes. I am just trying to adhere to the what the administration is asking. Last semester either way was fine, but now they are asking for it electronically.
