Required Blog: First Semester Reflections

2007-11-28T04:04:16Z

This is probably a bad time to be writing this blog because as of now, I am swamped with work, both as a teacher and as a student. Whoever commented on how this program needs to be more rigorous, and needs to expect more from us "top graduates" i...

Required Blog: What after-school activities are you doing?

2007-11-13T23:39:23Z

Well, last week I finally started coaching. We had baseball tryouts last week when a frigid cold front moved through the entire Southeast. It was rough. It was freezing. But, it was fun. It was really great seeing some of these kids outside o...

Required Blog: EDSE 647 Book Review

2007-11-10T14:37:09Z

As an alternate route teacher placed within a critical needs school, I tend to critique everything I read, hear, or research about education in a different, negative light. I always say to myself pessimistically, “That would never work in my ...

Required Blog: What is one change you can make to improve as a teacher?

2007-11-06T03:29:16Z

One change? How about many. First of all, I don't know enough about geography, which is the subject that I am unfortunately teaching. I know more than my students do, that's for sure, but it's not exactly what I want to be teaching. By being c...

Required Blog: Success Story

2007-11-06T02:28:48Z

In this post, I am required to post a success story... At this point, there aren't many. It feels as if I am babysitting for 6 hours a day rather than actually teaching, but it's not like I would be any more effective as a teacher if these kids ...

Required Blog: Classroom Management

2007-10-17T23:25:33Z

I'm not sure if there are any certain guidelines that this blog must follow, other than: Talk about your classroom management. So, that's what I'm going to do. I really haven't had many problems. Since the beginning of school, I've only writt...

Required Blogs: Favorite Student and Best Part of Day (improvised)

2007-10-10T01:43:59Z

Describe Your Favorite Student I have many of them, but I will write on one, or maybe a few, in particular. One of them is probably the biggest pain in my ass, but overall, he is a great kid. I'll call him T in this post. T is the student that...

Required Blog: Personal Biography and Teching Perspective

2007-09-29T02:30:17Z

Before joining the Mississippi Teacher Corps, I always thought that I would love the notion of teaching a classroom full of bright, youthful, eager to learn students. I had a few teachers along the way that taught me many things from a comple...

Required Blog: Delta Autumn

2007-09-29T01:40:05Z

I also read Delta Autumn a long time ago, but more recently re-read the section centered on teaching social studies in critical needs schools. Everything that it discusses has applied to my teaching job so far. It reiterated everything that we l...

Bad day? Blog it out.

2007-09-24T22:24:21Z

Somebody's got a case of the Monnnnnndayyyyyys. Today was terrible. Not in the sense that most first year teachers experience though. I can handle my classes, so classroom management is not a problem. I can teach, so getting my students to und...
