These are all three areas in which I need to improve. I have discussed strategies with my Program Director about them and they will be the focus of my professional practices for the next three weeks.
\n1. Are students following directions the first time and completing work? Why or why not?
\n
\nI was able to string together some good classes with the 6th grade (typically my biggest struggle) last week. I started holding students more accountable to their in-class work and the practice problems in the we do section. This did help some of my students who struggle with focus to get to work quicker. I will also much more clear in my instructions, and kept everything simple and consistent.
\n
\n2. Are students more invested in GP? Is your INM simplified?
\n
\nI think I still struggled with this last week. I need to make more investing problems and not spend as much time in the INM.
\n
\n3. How is planning? Did you have time to plan this week? Why or why not?
\n
\nI was fairly well planned last week, but I shied away from a couple of the more daring activities I had planned. I didn't feel the behavior was quite were I wanted it to be. I think though, regardless of misbehaviors I need to move forward with my plans. This will shift more of my focus and the students focus away from the negative behavior and more toward the positive.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"34100750","dateCreated":"1297473746","smartDate":"Feb 11, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"ceprochnow","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/ceprochnow","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/tfaelms.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/34100750"},"dateDigested":1532092354,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"2\/11 Reflection","description":"This week started off with bang...literally. Two scholars chose to bring matters taking place outside the classroom inside, and engaged in an extremely physical fight. I initial reaction was to intervene, because I could not believe MY kids were dealing with their issues this way. After being hit and kicked a couple of times administration stepped in and separated the boys.
\nAfter I was able to catch my breath and my legs stopped shaking, I started to reflect on what had happened. It started so fast, I don't think I could have prevented it from happening, especially not knowing the drama taking place outside of school. My principal said reminded me of the actions my other scholars took when this was all happening - staying in their seats and following my direction to put their heads down - spoke to the strong culture of my room and the respect they have for me.
\nI chose not to share this incident with very many people, because I wanted to maintain the integrity of my class and the students I serve. I wanted the retelling to be honest and not an exaggeration of the events, because I do not feel this is representative of my kids or who they are. We had a class discussion the next day about who we are and how we want the world to see us. From their I had them write a journal entry about the legacy I they want to leave earth with and what they are going to do to insure their legacy is realized. As a class, we have chosen not to wallow in the past, but to use it to motivate us to continue to work hard at making changes and to prove the outside world wrong.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"33989862","dateCreated":"1297349973","smartDate":"Feb 10, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"schweizerh","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/schweizerh","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/pic\/1315067223\/schweizerh-lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/tfaelms.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/33989862"},"dateDigested":1532092354,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Post on main page","description":"Mike --- would you please put your post on the WIKI main page?

It's not that I take days off, but I'm much more relaxed and carefree. I notice that my students' demeanors positively change when I'm in a more positive mood. It may just be that I have something to look forward to, and it's a change of pace from the norm.
\n
\nBeing able to maintain this fun, positive attitude on full weeks will be key to sustaining this fun yet productive environment my students and I have enjoyed. Math has been efficient and the kids have learned while being relaxed. The other subjects have been generally similar. I realize that it starts with me and that my kids feed off my attitude. Let's just hope I maintain that mind frame the next time things go haywire.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]}],"more":false},"comments":[]},"http":{"code":200,"status":"OK"},"redirectUrl":null,"javascript":null,"notices":{"warning":[],"error":[],"info":[],"success":[]}}
