Day 3: Discuss one “observation” area that you would like to improve on for your teacher evaluation.
My official one is
2b Establishing a Culture for Learning
• Importance of content • Expectations for learning and achievement
• Student pride in work
This is because we are going into SBE. What I am really trying this year is to reshape how I teach and grade. I want to get out of the "worksheet" paradigm. The problem with this is since I teach science, projects are not really the way to go.
I can do it in my Environmental Science class, and honestly I have not tried. I have a few ideas using "bingo" and "menu". But I have not done it. My excuse is "these students can't do it." I think my real reason is I have never done it before. We have a new nine weeks coming so I can do it then. I will be doing a project for my chemistry class in which they make paper dolls of famous scientists toward the end of the year.
Back to this. I walk a line of having students work on their assessments, then not running around putting out fires.
