Just blogging

My observation was yesterday. Jesse was very kind. I have to admit, The NTI visits are something that I enjoy because of the helpful feedback we receive.The one thing that I have been a nervous wreck about is that I have not been formally observed by my administrators. The year is almost done! They need to just come on and get it over with.

On another issue...Having Dr Burns and Jesse have spoiled me. They truly model what they teach. Some of us are having to take the exceptional nightmare class and well it has become a true example of do as I say, not as I do. This has made me even more aware of my actions with my students. Actions do speak a lot louder than words. I am amazed how much students pick up on! They remark on hairdoos, jewerly, clothing, moods, tone of voice...everything! They will mimic your actions over your words in a heartbeat! scary thought isn't it!

Well good night all!

    Esther, I agree with everything you said. It just doesn't get any better than Dr. Burns and Jessie. I love them and I am going to miss them so much when NTI is over.

    And I agree 100% about our Exceptional Child Class from Hell! It is torture to sit there til 8:30pm. My bladder begins to have spasms! My legs feel like blood clots are forming! Pure torture!!

    I totally agree. I cannot wait until exceptional child is over. I will miss NTI. Do you think we could meet once a month for fun after it is over, I'm going to miss everyone.
