As you leave your keys you meet your replacement. You are asked to give this new teacher just ONE piece of advice. What would that be, and why? Enjoy your world expedition!

Blog Post - Week 7

Open Mic Post

Last night I was able to participate in my first 8^th Grade Parent night at the high school. Needless to say it was a great experience to see so many parents, future students, but most of all community members. This was especially unique to me because I got to see how all the different programs offered at the high school are represented.

There were several booths out and displaying highlights and articles/ some project-based items. This gave the teachers of different clubs, sports, and organizations to showcase their programs to appeal to next year’s upcoming freshman class.

The best part of this night was that I got to participate in representing SkillsUSA with our Special Education for CTAE liaison. It was a great experience and very informative to both myself and several parents/students. Explaining the many successes of this organization was an occurrence I soon won’t forget.

Unknown said...: I am glad your preview night was a great success and you were able to get out of your class to see the work of those around you. I guess we are both the same in that we are so busy with our own programs we don't have much time to see what's happening in others. On another note, it is exciting to see the fresh young faces checking out the possibilities of their future education. I am sure you were a hit with the up and comings.; March 15, 2014 at 2:05:00 PM EDT
