I know that you are all excited to be teaching, and I want to build on that excitement to successfully prepare you for the first day, first week and first month of your new career. We will meet every Monday beginning on September 12 and I have structured class so that you will have an opportunity to both ask any questions you might have and to discuss any issues concerning your present assignment.

Class runs from 5:30-9:00 each week and I have divided up the time in this way:

4:30-6:15--Questions, issues, discussion of techniques we've covered in previous classes. 6:15-7:15--New techniques, materials, strategies and teaching approaches that you can use the next day in your classrooms 7:15-7:30--Break 7:30-8:30--Incorporating new learning into your lesson plans. You will have the opportunity to work cooperatively with other class members 8:30-9:00--Reflection and reinforcement, final questions

I will also show you videos, have guest speakers and assign times for class presentations which will necessitate adjusting the schedule.

Here are some important documents for the class:
