From The Outside Looking In

I recently completed my "Observation" requirement as part of the NTI program, since I do not yet have a school. My mission was to observe a career tech class in my field (Law & Justice) over a 10 hour period. I conducted my observations at McEachern High School in Powder Springs. This was a very enlightening and exciting experience to say the least. I not only got the opportunity to observe teacher/student interactions and overall teaching environment, but I also had the opportunity to speak to each class as well. A total of six classes, each with over 30 students! The last class had 39! It was interesting to see "Classroom Management" in full effect! The primary teacher for this class was also a former graduate of Dr. Burns NTI Class, so that made the experience that much more special, to see NTI principles and techniques put into play!

    It is great that you had the opportunity to observe. Coming into this as I did (on a provisional) I feel that observing is something that I really missed out on. I sometimes feel like I was just thrown in there left to figure it out. I am sure this observation will influence your future work in the classroom.
