EXERCISE ROLL CALL - Monday

by jrod

5 hours

Today, I choose to walk at the largest park in town. I always try to find the map of the walking path before I arrive but they are never detailed enough for me. I parked under a tree and found the path. I looped around 4 times without incident. That was until the last loop around the playground area. There was an older gentleman sitting nearby with...See More

I am currently a college student minoring in Education and have a weekly field placement at a local high school. In this classroom, the students are no longer responsive to the teacher when she asks them to focus. At times they might seem as if they have understood what she is asking of them, but then they proceed to go on their phones and talk to ...See More

How do you effectively manage a classroom without being considered too strict and overbearing. I want to have a productive and engaged classroom, but I find it difficult to do that if students are being too disruptive or if students hate me because all I do is tell them to keep working.

EXERCISE ROLL CALL - Sunday

by Elaine/ret/IN

Apr 22

I'm literally playing catchup after my less than 2000 steps on Thursday. But, I'm pleased to report that I'm now above 70,000 steps for the week. It's a little thing, but it makes me happy. Like the sunshine today. And the book (very short) "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly," which is a glimpse into the mind of an amazing man who became paraplegic...See More

Instructional Assistant writing essays for students

by PWN teacher

Apr 21

How do you handle this problem? The assistant admitted to dictating to the student what to write for his essay. She is saying she didn't "write" the essay for him, since he physically wrote the essay.

The English teacher noticed that this wasn't the style or quality of the student's normal writing.

The assistant's comment to me "W...See More

haha It can be hard deciding where to draw the line when offering support. Obviously just dictating a whole paper is way over that line. I have offered ideas for catchy ways to start a paper (statistics, quotes, etc.) and/or solid thesis statements. Other than that I try to work with HS students on the planning end, coming up with good outlines and mini...See More

PWN teacher Thanks, Haha. What you have told me is exactly what I have told my own educational assistant. I carefully monitor (as I am supposed to) when my assistant is working with students so I know exactly how they are instructing the student. I personally think the assistant across the hall should be fired. She knew what she was doing, and has been helping...See More
