Hi everyone, I have been lurking and am amazed at the conversations. I envy you all that have people in your building that you can talk to about to about strategies. I am working with 1 teacher who comes in my room as support and she is great, but we have other subjects that she has to support. I agree with Ellin and all of you about looking at what we teach and making it better. How do you get professional learning communities started. Most of our staff thinks if it works - if the lesson goes well, move on to the next. I have heard "if it isn't broke, don't fix it."
We have to decide by next week if we want a regular observation or a portfolio for evaluation. The portfolio is a lot of work, but a lot of reflection. After hearing these discussions, I guess the portfolio is one way to keep me reflecting on how I teach these strategies. I can't wait to see Ellin on May 2 - I hope she will talk on some of these topics.
