I’m
happy to report I had a great week teaching last week. That being said, there
are always ways we can improve our teaching. This past week I learned I need to
be more flexible and able to manage things that arise unexpectedly. I had a set
lesson plan prepared for the entire week, however due to some administrative
changes, SLOs testing, make-up testing and having to alternate between
classrooms, my lesson plan was not able to be followed exactly how I expected.
This has caused me to get a bit behind in my planned teaching. If I could do it
over again, I would try to find out more information regarding various
happenings around campus prior to the implementation of my lesson plans. This will
allow me to better prepare and organize my lessons accordingly around the
school’s activities. I will also endeavor to keep an open mind allowing
flexibility in my planned teaching as things can always happen unexpectedly
causing a last minute change to the schedule.
Hey Chef
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain. When I started teaching this past Dec. I became frustrated just as you. Preparing lesson plan and excited about teaching a new skill or unit and then you get hit with last minute changes in the school day and it throws everything off. And yes it is hard to regroup. My method to that madness is okay and I keep it moving.
