Thanks NTI!
NTI has given me so many useful tools that it is hard to choose just one! If I have to choose what has helped me that most I would have to say that it was learning to do lesson plans. I'm not really sure what I was expecting when I first began teaching, but I was expecting more than just being given a text book and a list of standards. Had I not had NTI I would have been totally lost. NTI gave me the the map to get to where I needed to go when it came to planning my lessons. I remember being so shocked that there were actually steps to delivering a lesson!! Planning my lessons using the format that I learned through NTI helps me stay organized in my delivery and helps me to make sure that I include all of the information that needs to be taught. Thank you so much to all of my wonderful instructors at NTI!!
Although my post was about time management...I do believe that the lesson plans were very helpful as well. I think that the structure definately keeps you focused. as I stated on my post I love the closure questions...A great check and balance system!
