Blog #2: Modeling

2008-07-16T15:13:05Z

I've learned a lot from Carmen. She is really helpful and glad to offer advice. The most important thing I've learned, though, is to model. She stresses over and over, that I have to model what I ask my students to do before they do it. "MOD-E...

Required Blog #1: Biggest problem.

2008-07-16T15:05:12Z

I have already talked about this, so I'm not going to go into any great detail, but my biggest problem is preparedness and acting confident in my subject. The confidence issue should resolve itself once I'm teaching Spanish. Preparedness is some...

As I sit here with my family watching the Music Man after a long day of family togetherness I am so glad that I am a part of this family. I love them so much. We went to the Amish community today, and it was wonderful. There was soo much rich a...

Reluctant Discipline?

2008-06-28T23:17:03Z

I don't think I'll be a bit reluctant about it by the time I've gotten through my first week. I will probably be thirsting to discipline my kids. I'm really just kidding, I hope that I will not be the scary teacher at the school. Rubenstein is ...

Video killed the radio star

2008-06-28T01:35:56Z

Good lord. I always hated watching myself on video acting, too, but this is so much worse. There are no scripts for this and I have not had months of rehearsal to prepare myself for this role. I've had nine 50 minute sessions of rehearsal and t...

Teaching Methods

2008-06-27T04:06:45Z

Probably the teaching method I like the most is using technology (if you count the overhead as technology). I would use more technology if it was available. Scotty uses the overhead all the time, as do I. When I get to school, I'll definitely u...

Cold Calling - Popsicle Sticks

2008-06-21T19:36:15Z

I've already said this in class, as well as talked with Ann about it, but I used the popsicle sticks yesterday (Friday) in class. I loved it. The kids, as you all know, are very concerned with fairness. The popsicle sticks work great for this c...

Delta Autumn

2008-06-14T23:01:59Z

That title always makes me begin to internally sing Delta Dawn. I did enjoy reading Delta Autumn. For the most part, it merely reinforced what Ann, Elizabeth, Matt, Ben, all the second-years, my parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, and all o...

First Week: Reflections

2008-06-07T12:50:18Z

For a few weeks of every year the fresh-water salmon swims upstream to mate and then returns downstream. That is what I feel like. I am the salmon. The last few years, in undergraduate, I have been swimming upstream. It was really hard and I ...

Assignment...Specifically

2008-04-24T22:51:44Z

I'll officially be at Byhalia High. I'm really excited. It seems as though God is really taking care of me in my assignment, and it really makes me thankful. I think I'm going to check out real estate there, housing situations and all that. I'...
