Summary of Day:
- Got to school
- Spent the morning talking with group about how post-lesson assessments would go
- Went upstairs to practice in my classroom – practiced with Promethean board (a wall-screen you can hook your computer up to and interact with). Other team members got very enthused about it.
- “Official” teacher talked with me a bit. I told her of us four TFAers, I would be the lead teacher that day (meaning I would be the one actually teaching)
- My nerves started to show, so I went out in hall to wait for kids
- Kids came
- Gave my lesson
- Kids left
- My lesson was analyzed for me by my CMA (core member advisor)
- Went downstairs to our meeting room
- (I don’t remember what happened next!)
- Had to input OSAT data (student attendance, mastery, etc.)
- Returned to Georgia Tech – we were met by a welcoming committee who came bearing snowcones
- Had to review a videotape recording of my lesson that day, then met with CMA to discuss
- Lesson planning for the next few days
- Updated blog
- More lesson planning!
