From Awful To Awesome!
Sorry that I haven't been posting in a while. I must have missed somthing because I seem to be one blog behind. In fact, I wouldn't have even posted this update if the thought of checking my blog hadn't randomly hit me. Two weeks ago I taught my science class as per usual. However there were some very odd circumstances that occured prior to my lesson that I did not think would effect the outcome of my instructing. Guess I was wrong. The students had a week off of school due to power outages, had Halloween the night before my lesson, and had a substitute teacher who had just taught a science lesson before I showed up in the classroom. Together, the events lead to a complete disaster. I should have known somthing was going to happen when one of the better students in my class stated, "But we already had science today"! Of course this also had to be the week where I was being monitored for classroom management. Lets just say my feedback was less than desirable.

Wow Neil you really put a lot of effort into this week's lesson! Good for you for taking the feedback and really applying it. I think putting so much effort in now will really help you down the road, and I'm sure the students had a great time in your class. I hope the rest of your lessons go as well as this one did!
ReplyDeleteNeil - Great job bouncing back! Sounds like you had a great lesson this week.
ReplyDeleteHey Neil, We may be teaching science but we are students also. So of course we are going to make mistakes, this is how we learn. It's great that you have a positive attitude and you are using the feedback as a tool to improve your lessons. It sounds like it is working. Good luck!
