First Day of School Exspectations

Classroom management is something that makes me very nervous about as a student teacher. I worry that the students will see that I am only there for a short (16) week time period. I worry that my students will just see me as a person that will be leaving, and that it is not important to follow my rules and meet my expectations.

I have made some posters for my expectations, Consequences, and some procedures. I think that these posters will be something that my students can look at for guidance. I do not think I will have much of a classroom management issue. I hope to keep my students engaged in hands on activities, and worksheets that provide them with the most knowledge of agriculture.

I do think that issues that I have in my classroom will be handled in my classroom. I believe that students will have more respect for a teacher that has handled an issue with them directly than just sending them to the office. I also really like the idea of letting a student think about what they did that did not meet my expectation, and then me coming back to them to talk about it. I do not want to disrupt the rest of my class by correcting some behavior issues.

Experiences teachers- What is the most common behavior that you have in your class and what is your favorite way to address it? 

 Cohort- What is something that you worry about classroom management? 

 Students- What are some ways that your teachers correct behavior?

Participation is Success

This week I was teaching three classes of really amazing students. I had my two classes of introduction to agriculture and I have added a large animal science class. I have realized that teaching two classes that are the same subject can be really tricky. It all really depends on the students in the class, I realized that in the first section I don't get as far in the second section. At first it was stressing me out that I wouldn't get as far in the first section as I would the second. Then I realized that the first section seems to be asking more questions, really awesome good questions. The second section seems to be a little bit more shy ( I am working on that). The state FFA officers came in, and I am super proud of the way my students responded and participated with the officers. They did whatever was asked of them, and I think they were able to learn a lot too. I loved to see my shy group of intro students really get into the activities that were going on around them.

Mock Interviews.

I am super bummed that I had to get the flu, and not be able to join the rest of my cohort in state college and get interviewed with each other. With my time in college being slightly longer than others in the cohort, I didn't really think it was as important to have mock interviews. I have changed my mind since then, that is for sure. I have accepted Penn States offer into the special education graduate program, this program is an extra year. Within that year I will be able to be certified to teach special education in the state of Pennsylvania, and I will obtain my masters degree in special education. Both things I have felt strongly about my entire life. Back to the interviews, now something that I learned while I was at northwestern. The school district doesn't hire their substitutes, they have a company that hires them for them. I applied to be a paid sub, and I was interviewed by the hiring manager at Kelly Services. This was an important interview, I sent in my resum

What is a Placement SAE?

Image
I never really knew what a placement SAE was let alone know what it looked like. Over the summer Mr. Honeycutt invited me up to go see some SAE projects.  Near the school they have this really awesome camp, camp FITCH. It is an ohio YMCA camp, its not very far from the state line, but still in pa, and right along lake Erie. Two of our students had placement SAE's here. Kelsey worked with the horses and Drake worked with maintenance/ landscaping.  Lets talk more about what happens at the camp. This comes directly from their website. "  As a part of the international YMCA movement and an important element of Youngstown’s strong Association, Camp Fitch has grown a lot since it’s founding in 1914 on the banks of the Little Beaver River. Although the location changed to the shores of Lake Erie over 85 years ago, we still live by the Christian values upon which we were founded to model and instill in kids. More than 16,000 people visit Camp Fitch for at least a few days every
