This week has been a great week. I feel like I have gotten a lot accomplished. I have begun collaborating with the assistant principal and the science teachers at my school to identify an area of weakness related to information literacy at our school. We spent some time reviewing the ITBS and CRCT scores for the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades. After review we noticed a trend. From the 6th to 8th grades scores dropped significantly in the area of reference skills. We only have one unit to complete for the remainder of the year. Students will most likely be assigned a specific research project within that Ecology unit. We have looked at several possible projects, but have not yet decided the specifics of that project. We have spent about 2 hours on this unit.
I have also begun work on my staff development unit. I will be teaching differentiation with the use of podcasts. I have spent about 8 hours on this project this week. I have begun to turn this into a distance ed class as well.
I worked the book fair for 2 hours last Saturday from 4 to 6 just before the pageant. It was great to see some of the parents discussing books with their children.
I am continuing work on weeding the old fiction section at one of my practicum sites. I was only able to spend 1 hour on that project this week. Hopefully I will have that finished soon.
