First Day in School

Today we had our first day in a "real average school." (Quote from Professional Tutor!) A wealth of advice was offered during the day, with the following key points:
Contract Activity

  • do an icebreaker with your class - get to know them

  • contract activity       ===============>
  • seating plans: look at class IEPs
  • raid the shared drive for all it's worth!

Giving Useful Feedback

We then spent an hour after school using the whiteboards and commenting on the effectiveness of each others' use (Task 1).
