Aha Moment!

I had an epiphany this morning when I looked at my schedule and saw that we had a guidance lesson. I realized that I could make some observations of students and collect data while the counselor was doing a lesson! I want data on how my students pay attention while I'm teaching and for others. So...I can also do this when there's a library lesson. Yay! This also allowed me to collect data two times this week, which is a huge accomplishment.

Collection continues

I am continuing to collect my data. I have tallied off task behavior of students while they've been doing independent work. My principal will be coming to help tally behaviors while I'm teaching.


In my internship, I've spent a great deal of time working on putting together enrichment clusters. Clusters are classes that students get to choose based on their interests. Students lead the classes and the teacher acts as a facilator.
