Hi all!

Our entrance slip is a continuation of Amanda and Emily’s Myers-Briggs test results.  After you find out your personality type, please list two ways you foresee your personality type (or parts of it) playing a role in causing stress during your long practicum.

Amanda and Emily: Weekly Presentation for Dec 3rd

Hey class!

Glad to have you here for what’s one of the last weekly expert reading presentation! Guess what? You don’t have to do any readings this week because we’re going to do it for you!

However, you still need an entrance slip, so we thought it would be fun to dive a little deeper into your own personality to enhance your own teaching style, so we would like you to take this quick Myers-Briggs test and bring your results to class! Think about what this personality type means and how it can enhance your teaching.

Here’s the test: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp

Bring in your results and a big smile!

Hello everyone!!

So our article was tricky to find, but we found a version on google books (hopefully the the full chapter will still be available for the rest of the week) it can be found here.  Just read Chapter 4, it starts on page 65.

As for our entrance slip, Steve would like us all to hand in our blue observation forms from our last class together.

 

Hope to see everyone on Thursday,

Hey team!

Hope everyone has had a good practicum!

Our entry slip for next week is to have the following written out:

– 2 things you enjoyed on your practicum and want to bring to your future teachings
– 1 or 2 things you would work on changing if you were hired in your practicum school
– Bonus: If you observed more than one teacher, did you notice qualities or characteristics different teachers had that made them effective teachers? Were there any characteristics that had the opposite effect?
