– Microteaching Analysis Due: If you presented last week, your analysis is due to me today. Thanks.
– EDUC 315 Reminders: Please send me a copy of (1) a lesson you taught and your reflection on it, (2) a copy of your SA’s teaching timetable, and (3) your end-of-prac feedback form. This last item should be the focus of a prac-wrap-up conversation tomorrow.
– Upcoming Classwork Items: (1) Read the Sims article and create an entrance slip for it complete with some of your own possible inquiry questions and (2) complete the Desired Results piece for one or more PLOs you’ll be using as you teach during the 2-Week Prac. Bring both items to Wednesday’s class, please.
– Unit Plan Conference Schedule: Thanks for signing up for these conferences. The schedule is below (mine on page 1 and Bob’s on page 2). All meetings are in SCARFE 1310. Please bring your completed Desired Results, your thoughts on possible assessment tools, and any key resources that you may use in your teaching to this meeting.
For your reference, here are a few 2-Week Prac unit planned in previous years. While the template for these units is a little different than the one we’re using, take a look and get a sense of what your finished product might look like:
