A Learing Strategy FLOP!

Something Sad
week 2 surprise
Here's the background that builds up to this week: This summer was when I received my pleasant surprise. A group of my 2nd year students had made a commercial for our school store's very popular product, the Breeze Freeze, 100% frozen fruit juice. These ads were a hit on our daily news broadcast. I uploaded these videos to YouTube so everyone could continue to enjoy them. Lo and behold, the Breeze Freeze company found the videos, and they were so impressed by them that they instituted a national YouTube competition. The school of the winning video will win two free cases of Breeze Freeze product - enough for 320 cups of frozen delight. The school store will decide on how to reward the winners.
Now, you would think that my students would try to exceed in this project, but it has been rather lack luster. They just don't share my enthusiasm, and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I set the deadline for this project on Wednesday. I still have two groups that haven't finished. Granted, the quality of this year's videos don't compare the those of last year. Perhaps that shouldn't surprise me, but it does. Maybe I'm just disappointed.
Brenda, Week 2
One of my student came to be at the last minute and expressed an interest in attending the HOSA Leadership Conference. The last minute was after the registration had closed and all late submissions would have a late fee attached. She stated up front that she did not have any money but she really wanted to go to Jekyll Island and that she had already found a couple of sponsors. I thought it would be really great for this student to come along on the trip because she is an extremely intelligent young lady with a great outlook on life. She has a 3.9 GPA and is very active in lots of school activities including being a SGA officer. In order for this student to go on the trip I had to put things into action shortly after the conversation in order for the trip to become a reality for her. I confirm the sponsorship with the teachers as stated by the student and felt reasonable safe to go ahead and make plans. I e-mailed the HOSA Headquarters and asked for an add on and the request was granted with a final cost for this student being $206.31 to include membership dues, HOSA shirt, registration, meal plan, late fees, and her share of the hotel room. I called the student's home on Saturday morning and spoke with her mother who was extremely happy that we could help her child go on the trip. The student was happy when I told her that the last minute add on was approved and the cost. I offered to
go ahead and send the registration and membership fees to expedite the registration. And so I mailed the check for $125.00.
On Monday afternoon the sponsoring teachers for this student asked me why she had not come for the money for the HOSA trip. I informed them that I was not certain of the reasons but I would find out and mostly because I needed to finalize the trip plans. When I finally located the student she told me she was not going and did not have a good explanation at this point. She did say the cost was too much for the teachers to pay and she did not want them to pay that much money for her. I reminded her of our conversation of Saturday morning and all she said was "I am sorry" but I don't want to go now. After school another student told me that the student had told them that the HOSA trip was going to be boring and they would not learn anything about leadership.
Needless to say at this point I was a little distressed. First, because I had lost $125.00 trying to help someone I thought would benefit from attending the leadership conference. Secondly, because I had given this student more credibility than what was being displayed. And third, I am questioning how I will respond the next time a student express an interest in attending the HOSA Conferences. I am not unhappy, jolted, or shook up about the money. I was mainly caught off guard by a good student whom I thought would have benefited from such a good opportunity to travel and enhance her leadership skills and qualities.
Administrative Support
PS, my trip to HOSA was a lot of fun and the student were great.
KJ; Surprise Event
I'm not sure if I handled this situation properly or not. I told her it would be alright with me as long as she could guarantee me that nothing physical would happen and she could wait until the assignment had begun and I could stand by the door to monitor their behavior and actions as well as the other students in the class. Luckily everything went well and they talked it out like adults.
After the situation had been resolved, I thought about it and I should have invited an Assistant Principal to monitor my class or monitor the hall situation. I also am very proud that a student has that much trust in me that she would come to me with her problem and inform me of the situation at hand.
Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.

Shocking Observation (Vincent)
Several weeks ago Delores shared with me about a website called quia.com where you could create tests and games. I signed up for a free 30 day trial of the site. This past week I created a test for my Applications class and it went so well that I am still amazed. The students took the test online and received their scores right after the test. They were able to see immediately what questions they answered wrong and the correct answer on those questions. I was able to print a copy of each students test and also a report that showed what percent of the students missed each question as well as a graph that showed each students score. As a new teacher creating test and grading them can be quite time consuming. I am so thankful that Delores shared this wonderful website with me. The best part of all is the membership is only $50 a year. What a deal!

Hinz-Week 2
Also, I was really, really pleased with the power point presentations that were presented lat week. The students did a wonderful job displaying the information that I asked for. They were also respectful to presenters (this is something I always worry about and try to encourage students to do). I am also using the red/yellow sheet from NTI this summer to manage the time during each presentation. That is working well too!

Penny - Week 2
Something that really surprised me this year has been my lab clean-up process. Since I teach architecture and engineering classes, my classroom is generally very messy. Timing does not always allow for a proper clean up of the room so I decided to make Friday my clean up day. But, I make my juniors and seniors do it. So I implemented this new system two weeks ago and it was amazing. Before my class came in, I had made a list of jobs (enough for everyone) and posted it on the projector screen so everyone could see it. I explained what had to be done and they all volunteered for their positions. I turned on some music and set everyone in motion...and to my astonishment, everyone was performing their job and even helping others when they were finished. The room became an army of cleaners.
Since then, every Friday we have done the same thing. They know to come in, sign in for a job on a first come first serve basis and begin as soon as I enter the room. It is great. It is almost like they look forward to it. My surprise is that this works. Its not a miracle type operation but when you put responsibility and ownership into the hands of the students they respond. I guess if an easy management system can work to clean, it can work for just about anything!
Event in my teaching
On the flip side of this, I had to make a call to the other student's parent because of her negative behavior. She had actually behaved worse. Dr. M shared some ideas with me for dealing with the male student that I actually had to implement with the female student because of her poor attitude. Now that I look back on the whole situation, I see why she acted out so much. I had removed her support when I placed her friend in the front. Since his behavior was changing, she no longer had someone to laugh or otherwise support her sarcastic remarks. When I spoke with her mother, I made sure I informed her of the student's positive abilities but asked for assisance on identifying strategies the mother found helpful in working through some of the negative challenges. As one might guess, mom is dealing with very similar issues at home but is supportive and willing to work with me on some possible positive reinforcements to help get this student on the right track as well. I will let you all know how this goes in a future blog!
What Surprised Me Most.
My Event This Week....
My 1st through 4th period classes went right back to work, where we left off the week before. They are starting to manage each other in the shop, and my "shop foreman" is informing me of who needs to still do which tasks. This was awesome! My "shop foreman" is checking to make sure all repair orders are filled out correctly, that students are keeping their safety glasses on, and even checking to see who didn't put their full name on papers. I wish all of my classes worked this well together. Everyone is eager to get up and use the scan tool, or check brakes, or tear down parts on stands. Also, everyone keeps their safety glasses on! Last year it was like "pulling teeth" to get them to do much of anything.
Something that really disappointed me this week was the lack of effort and motivation in my first year students (5th & 6th periods). I handed out a detailed assignment for the students to get "signed off" for the CTAE Safety/Haz.Mat. Standards. This assignment should have taken two class periods, maybe three. No one was ready to present after the students had three class days to work, and also the weekend. When Monday rolled around, everyone said they forgot, or didn't want to do it, or didn't know they had to do or turn anything in for the assignment. I extended the assignment until friday, restated the "task" and what needed to be done about 10 different ways, gave examples, passed out about 80 copies (only 56 students) of the assignment, and wrote everything on the white board. Each day, very few students were on task. I have about eight ESEP students in each of the classes, but none have any accomodations/modifications for literacy. I re-stated the importance of the assignment, re-stated what was due friday, and kept reminding students that if they didn't present with their group friday that a zero is un-recovereable per the student handbook/grading policies. When friday came, only a couple were ready. Half of the students came up in groups of two or three and mummbled through a brief discussion on the safety assignment. The majority of the students that actually did something, failed. Now I'm in the sixth week of school coming up, and 90% of my first year students refuse to do work, they have no home phone or cell number to call the parents, and I would say at least half of the students in my first year classes are failing due to not doing anything. Help! My first four periods of the day go so smoothly outside of several ADD and ADHD students, which I've adapted to, but 5th and 6th periods don't want to do anything. I tried taking a slight "left turn" around safety to bring in a little automotive careers and shops into the safety lessons to grab their attention, but I'm not getting very far. I only have five or six students per class in the first year that want to be there, and want to learn about automotive.
Pleasantly Suprised
Second Week Blogg
On Friday of this past week, each group presented their project. To my astonishment, each group did an outstanding presentation. Each student in their group presented their own part of the power point. I was surprised on how well the groups worked together without the bickering. It was obvious that each team leader, the captains, took charge and handed out assignments to each person in their group. Obviously, each group worked well together because of the way the project was presented in class based on the rubric and written guidelines.
I was really amazed on how well my students all worked together in harmony to accomplish some remarkable work.
Week 2 the new world or teaching

A little attention goes a long way!!!!
Sadly Surprised
A Happy Surprise
So I was thinking maybe I could employ some of the training aides, games, which Ms. Hayden had posted on line. It provided an excellent vehicle for reviewing material that had been covered. Certainly the fact that it was a game caught the students interest and provided much competitive enjoyment for the students. By applying to several learning modalities, quality learning and reinforcement of previously learned material was successfully accomplished.
My happy surprise was to see students that are rarely excited about school get involved and to see the active teaching/learning process reach a very high participation rate. I will be using many of the other games that are available. The game we played was "Who wants to be a Millionaire" while learning about tools.

Sometimes It's OK To Touch A Student
This secretary was not his teacher, but she cared. She reached out. She got involved. She touched that student when he needed it most. Somehow the withdrawal was reversed, stopped that day. I think she had a big part in the reversal. I emailed her after I had read the school announcements that he was back in school that day, and I told her how proud I was of what she did. She wrote me back saying " I treat all kids like I want my kids to be treated. I have a son that just started here in the ninth grade."
Enough said and done.
9-24-08; An Event I Am Teaching That Took Me By Surprise
Tuesday, September 23, 2008
Event of Surprise
2 week post
One thing that worked well for me was using a seating chart to separate the students who wanted to talk and socialize with one another instead of paying attention in class. This has led to better classroom management on my part and has solved most of my dicipline problems. Also, students are now getting their work done on time. I have also moved to the back of the room where I can better monitor their computers, making sure they stay on task.
Things that have not work well for me are my lesson plans. I have tried to put too much material in my lesson plans and have not been able to cover all of it. This is not only frustrating to me, but is also frustrating to the students. Because of this, it limited student classroom participation, especially their spontaneity responses. It made me realize that it was better to cover less material adequately than to have to rush through the material.
You mean I can copy?
2nd week
I am unsure how to help and protect the students who know the system. I can not blame them for their mistrust. That is all they have ever known. I know the law requires me to report any incident and I do that. How do I get them the help they need and deserve?
I went home Friday night and held my daughter very tight. I told her how much I loved her and how proud I am of her. Teaching puts a new prospective on my home life.

Josh - Second Week Posting
While it has been a difficult experience overall, there are those moments that make teaching worth it. While working on a project, I had a student come up to me with that excitement in her voice that I remember experiencing with my high school teacher. She was so into the project that she started telling me how she wanted to do "this" when she went to college. She was passionate about making videos and she has been ever since. Every day she comes in ready to work and has even volunteered to help me with the little things that I thought I had all taken care of. She is an excellent group leader and has made that particular class period a more enjoyable experience for me, as well as her classmates.
Honestly, her excitement is spreading and that class is becoming my favorite. (I know we shouldn't have favorites, but there, I said it.)
To sum up... all it takes is seeing that "light" click on for one student and the rest seems worth it. It's at least worth trying. If you don't try, you'll never get to see that light click on.
Body Planes Win, Lose or Draw
New blog Week 2
I have been having some problems with alot of talking during my lecture part of the class. Some of the students were even getting up and sharing snacks during this time. I have to refocus this group about every five minutes or so, and sometimes I feel like I am a big babysitter instead of a "technical expert instructor." It was one of those days and the students kept talking and whispering and we were not accomplishing anything. I had about had it, so I started silently counting to ten over and over while just looking at the class. This went on with them continuing their talking for about 4 minutes. All of a sudden, out of the blue, my most reluctant Junior student stood up, told everyone to "Be Quiet" and "Quit being rude to Ms. Draper because she is trying to teach us something we don't already know. Remember the number one rule is respect."
Well, I could have died right there. This student is one that I have struggled with to keep on task, reminding him of assignments and encouraging him all year long. Sometimes he does his work, sometimes he just looks at me while I am talking to him with a smirk on his face. He has let me know he did not want to be in the Healthcare Science class and that he thinks "all of this health junk" is boring. For him to be the one to stand up and quiet the class was amazing, but the students reacted quickly and apologized and started to take notes when I went on with class like nothing had happened.
Later, I spoke with the student and asked him why he stood up in class like that when usually he showed no interest in what I had to say. He told me that "Ms. Draper, I may not like all of this health junk, but your class is alot more interesting than some of them and you are a cool teacher. You help me when I need it and you are good to all of us and I just thought you needed a hand today." That blew me away. I realized that sometimes, even in our most trying times, how we model ourselves in class really does make a difference to someone. That makes all of the hard work worth it!

What has worked well and what has not.
Hello Classmates/Fellow Bloggers,
What has worked well for me is implementing the healthcare team concept. The students love having responsibility and really look forward to participating in leadership roles. Team activities have also worked well. The classes appear to love getting in groups to research and present information to the entire class. They loved choosing positions within the teams (leader, timekeeper, recorder and reporter). They spend their time wisely, reviewing the information and preparing for group presentation.
What I've been struggling with is classroom management. However, I must say that after our class on Saturday, I went back to school with a fresh perspective and things appeared to go more smoothly. I think I felt much more confident after gaining advice and support from so many of you. You all reminded me of strategies we used this summer, so I implemented more of those, as well as some other techniques and they all worked!
Penny's Reflection
Looking back on the last few weeks compared to the last two years has been interesting. I have learned a lot. Teaching is a learning process...very organic. Always changing and there is always a need to improve to keep up with a changing classroom.
The NTI program has been very beneficial. I have tried to implement many of the classroom management strategies and have found that my time has been better managed. One thing that has gone well for me is the use of a classroom management plan...specifically giving all of my students a job. It has been great and the kids respond well to having responsibility. It has also freed me up to help more students and spend more time instructing as opposed to handling simple tasks. At first, the plan did not really work because the job descriptions were too complicated, so I simplified it and it suddenly worked. It is amazing how the "trash taker outer" becomes a job that is fought over (not physically). :)
One thing that has not worked has been my lesson plan preparedness. I am only teaching two preps...but I am teaching extended day for the first time. Its tough! I have one class completely planned out thanks to NTI but the other class is more of a day to day type thing. Extended day makes it tough to try and stay on top of everything. It is tough to try to manage the day, teach, and complete all the admin stuff while trying to not take your entire classroom home with you each night! Anyway, I am doing better using my planner and getting to school earlier. Hope this works. Any tips from some experienced extended day folks?
Thanks! See you all soon.
One thing that has become a problem that did not work in the classroom was attendance. Because we do so many hands on activity in CRJU sometimes you need that 23 to 28 students to make class interesting because of the grouping. Due to the fact of our county loosing 2,000 students Morrow High school has been hit the Hardest. My upper level courses are small which at times can be both a advantage and disadvantage. My peers say small classrooms are a blessing, but I enjoy the different personalties. I continue to find ways to help myself using the methods we discussed this summer I always refer back to the NTI book.
It seems as if your year got off to a good start too. I agree that the instructions and directions we received at NTI this summer has made this position much better. Last year I had the worst time trying to keep the students focused and on task. The worst problems was keeping them a wake. I now know it was primarily the teaching strategies and instructional methods I used that was causing many of the problems. Being a new teacher to the educational profession was a transition all by itself, but when I found out that the old fashioned lecture based classroom no longer existed I felt like I had made a mistake in wanting to be a teacher.
I only wish I could use the same lesson plans used at NTI. Our administrators gave us a new lesson plan template which is cumbersome to complete but very detailed. That is good in one sense and bad in another -takes took much time to transfer information even with cut and paste
techniques to the new form. Overall, everything is going well.
My thought on the New School Year
What Worked and What I'm still Working On
What isn't working very well: Getting my first year students through Safety! I am struggling with inventing new motivational activities to keep the students learning safety. They are not allowed to enter the shop, and that is what they are pushing for. I am having difficulties gettting my two first year classes to understand the need and importance of safety in the shop. I have done individual work, group work, activities, study guides and games......and very few of them are participating. I feel like I need to move onto Automotive Careers and come back to safety. Would that work? any opinions?
KJ; Reflecting on the first weeks of school
Now on to the negative, I still struggle with time management as a whole. While I feel I'm more prepared for class this year, I struggle with the maintaining a steady pace with my Engineering Drawing and Design Class. I'll have about 6-8 students (Group 1) that grasp what I am showing them to do and have another 6-8 (Group 2) that with a little one on one time will come around to what I am showing them. Then there is the rest of the class that looks at me like I am speaking a foreign language to them and will take the entire class period and some time two days to understand. I feel like if I keep giving the moving forward with group 1, group 3 will never catch up. On the other side of the coin, if I continue to work with group 3, I am not being fair to group 1. For this most part I utilize group 1 as student teachers to help out group 2. Is this a good idea or not?

New Career and Technical Education Teachers' Blog: Comment on Jayna's First week blog
I am thinking about having a certain day each week for the students to make-up any labs or projects they may have missed. I really like your idea about working with each student individually and creating a behavior plan that they design. Students tend to be more vested when they are able to take ownership of the process. Another thing I have noticed is that when a student falls very behind they become so discouraged that they quit trying. When we give them opportunities to be successful I believe they become more motivated.
Reflections - First Week of School
What worked and what didn't
The one thing that has not worked well is my proper utilization of lesson plans. I thought I could use one set of lesson plans for all of my Intro classes and keep everyone pretty much at the same pace. Fat chance, I did not take into consideraion all of the variables I would encounter from one class to the next. I have learned that smaller classes fly through material and have minimal debates or thoughful insights to vocalize compared to larger classes which will engage you in so many teaching moment converstions that you will fall behind in your lessons. With only a few moments between classes. I have found little time to jot down changes in my plans based on the students' learning for the day. By the end of the day, I have mixed up who was doing what. Recently, I made a checklist of things to cover during the week on the board. Now I try to check off the information as it is covered for a particular class or write changes on the board as the events occur. In this way, I can refer back to the notes at the end of the school day and make my final changes. There ae a number of things that were good and not so good during my first feww week, but overall, the good outway the bad and I look forward to learning more teaching strategies this semester.
Reflecting on First Weeks.
What has not worked so far is most work groups prior to ten days ago.
I was setting up work groups by the count to three -four etc. method.
A few days ago I did a cooperative learning experiment with two classes,
I used the first method with my first period class and chose the students for my second period class.
What a difference! My second period class excelled beyond my first period class by leaps and bounds.
However I would not have known my students at the begining of the year
and this would have made no difference. Ken B
Many of the techniques and strategies we learned in NTI I have tried to but them to use. I must say I wish I could have had this course at the beginning of my educational career. Having it now let me look back and know what not to do or where I do not want to go through again. Many of the things learned I share with some veteran teachers, they wish they had attended a course like NTI back when they started teaching,
Things that have not worked: I am not going to say they didn't work but I think that there are things that I need more training on. That would be in the area of working in the labs. Its so hard to do the split class because you will always have someone that is not going to stay on task. The way my class is set up, it is merely impossible to moniter the kids in the lab cooking up against the kids that are in the class area working. My only suggestion would be to have a paraprofessional that could watch the students in the classroom while I conduct the kitchen lab of students. Even if I conduct a lab with the entire class the setup makes it hard to moniter all of the students at the same time. Also I need to work on moving around the classroom more, since we don't use desk we have tables and chairs it seems to crowd the space. With this it makes it hard to walk around the room as much as I would like. Due to the class size I have looked at different ways we can set up the room to make it more easy flowing, so the classroom setup has not worked for me as well as I would have like.
It is difficult to isolate a particular item that has not worked well, because overall most have worked. I have found the most difficulty to be in timing a particular project. I have had to revise many of my lesson plans because of the time element. Also I have found that my lesson planning does require more time than I had initially anticipated and it seems to take more time to complete a lesson within the curriculum. Our curriculum for the introductory course is so theory latent; it is a great effort to include a hands-on activity. The projects and activities have basically been successful and enjoyable for the students; however, I feel I have had to race through some of the curriculum in order to include these things. Perhaps this boils down to time management as being the culprit and the thing that did not work well.
However, since enrolling in the NTI, I have learned many different strategies and methods of instruction which I am excited to employ into my class lessons. Using these methods and strategies has been a challenge because I can have up to four, yes that's right, four different courses within a single class period. Therefore, the challenge has been using the "transfer in, set induction...etc." when I have four different curriculums going at once. Last year, each student received a project module which matched their curriculum. The students would have to work on their own to master the content while I floated around the room to tie up the loose ends for each student individually. Last year seemed to be more organized than this year.
I find it very hard to actually "teach" (lecture, demonstration, etc) when I am only speaking to maybe half of the class at a time. This leaves the other half of the room to "work", but they find themselves doing other things while unsupervised. The solution for this problem would be to only have one course per class period, but my administrator believes (and I agree) that my numbers would go way down and the program would not be as popular.
Reflecting back on the first 5 weeks of school has been very exciting for me because I have a large new classroom and lab. I have enjoyed setting up the classroom and laboratory as discussed in NTI this summer. The staff and students are also excited also. Overall things have gone well for me. I am using the lesson plans and classroom management plans which have proven to be very helpful. The emergency lesson plan was submitted when requested and I was so happy to have it already completed.
The frustations felt over the last couple of weeks are related to equipment and supplies. The HSTE laboratory list of supplies ordered last school year has been placed on hold. I find that particularly disturbing because I had planned my lessons around the items needed to do demonstrations. The best part of this situation is that I was successful last year in a classroom with only a textbook and no supplies, I am certain I can do well with the few supplies that I do have on hand and the teaching strategies I am learning at NTI.
The other frustrations this school year has been the placement of students in the HSTE classes that have not had the introductory class. These students have not been exposed to the medical language and terminology and is expressing some frustrations themselves trying to keep up.
Assisting these students and performing demonstrations and checkoffs have been the greatest challenges so far.
I am hopeful and I know that I can continue do well inspite of the circumstances beyond my control. The students are enjoying the class and that is the most important fact in this giant high school puzzle.

What Works and What I am still working on!
What I am still working on - I have had an opportunity to use many of the ideas, tools, and training that we have covered during the summer and into this fall. As luck would have it I have three of four students that at our school that have been identified county wide as having a tendancy to act out, in all their classes. These three, from different school areas, are all in the same class for me. I feel that I have made progress with them this year but still have a long way to go. They seem to have many issues and have been identified by other teachers as such. The students seem to want to do better and at times they do try. They are very impulsive with very active minds. Some of the teachers seem to accept their failing ways. Again I believe I have made progress but have a long way to go with them. Does any one have any thoughts on how to help these students who have spent a lifetime becoming the way they are.
Thanks in advance.
RS, Alpharetta
First weeks of this school year
I think the thing that I have had the most problems with this year is stopping class towards the end of the period for closure and transfer-out. If I am doing a lecture or something that requires them to remain seated, I typically watch the clock and am able to fit it in. Although, I still can't get the timing completely right yet. On the other hand, when I am having the kids work in groups and when the room has to be fixed, I find that it is harder to do. Mostly, it is hard to get the kids attention again at the end of group work, after they've reorganized the room. Getting them completely quiet to close out after group work has been difficult for me to do. As, the year continues, I hope to master this, as well as other issues that may arise. All I can do is take it one step at a time and that's what I am doing.
What Has Worked For Papa Joe
Some things have not been perfect. I got off my lesson plan schedule and I am a little behind. Not all my students want to be here. They seemed to make it their goal at times to stop learning. Not all the behavior techniques work all of the time. The additional duties and studies have taken their toll on my time. I expressed my frustration last Saturday about how to multi task all the time and how to cope with the constant interuptions. Meetings, parents, teachers, students wanting passes, emails, the radio and intercom. I sometimes got emails during the day that I know nothing about and because I do not read them during instruction time or between classes, some things do not get done.
Overall I am happy, I am thankful for the successes that I have experienced the first six weeks of this school year. I look forward to even more ideas through these blogs.
What worked and what did not
What has not worked. I tried to implement the "notebook" like what we did in class this summer. I seem to have only 70% of my student on board with this. The other 30% I'm investigating to see what I missed. Also the closing remarks or questions, for some reason I seem to forget to do it. I can catch myself sometimes, but not always.

What has work and what has not
What hasn't worked for me? I'm still trying everything in my arsenal as needed. I haven't had any behavior issues yet – knock on wood. One thing that I struggle with on a daily basis is time management. I'm trying very hard to use my planning period to do just that, but there are so many other things that need to get done as well. When teaching three entirely different classes and skill levels, I find my imagination is growing weary. I like following the lesson plans I developed over the summer, but I have had to deviate a little. I use them primarily as a guideline and come up with daily plans that day. But that's only for my two classes of first year students. Second years, I have only one class. Not enough students to complete a daily news show and video projects – there's not enough time. And my third year students – bless them – independent study students. I have to completely invent lessons as I go. I didn't have this problem last year, as the 2nd and 3rd years were mixed in one class, and they all did the same thing.
Hello and Good Luck
Just wanted to say hello to you and wish you well. I had sent a blog during the summer to welcome you but you hadn't been introduced to the blogging site yet. So I will take the opportunity to do so now. Welcome!
I "graduated" from NTI in May and now have my full-fledged clear and renewable teaching certificate. I teach Healthcare Science at Ola High School in McDonough. You are well on your way already to learning many, many wonderful things about teaching. I have been reading some of your blogs and sounds like several of you are already putting your newly learned skills to good use. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to go to NTI because it certainly has made a huge difference in my life.
NTI is hard work but you will be so happy that you stuck with it. Dr Burns and Jessie are just the best! The absolute best! Learn all you can from them. Fasten your seat belts and enjoy the ride! And if I can ever help any of you with anything please don't hesitate to ask. Good Luck!
Connie Dial, RN
What has worked and what has not worked
What hasn't worked: I really liked the concept we learned this summer of having the students repeat back instructions before moving into an activity. This hasn't worked out for me though. I know the reason why. It is because I forget to ask the students to repeat back to me. I give instructions and then set them about the activity. I guess I don't feel like time is really wasted during transitions so I haven't had a big need to change my routine to include it. I do believe if I could get into the routine of asking it would benefit the flow of things but truthfully I just keep forgetting to do it.
Jayna First week blog
What I have had trouble with; A big issue I have had this year is absenteeism. On an average day I have about 6 students in ISS. These seem to be the same students and they are missing out on so much in the class. This is very frustrating to me. I decided today that I would take them aside as they came back to class and discuss whatever behavior they are choosing that keeps getting them into ISS. Then I thougth that we would try to work on some strategies to help them stop the behavior. We will see if it works!
What has not worked for me: The classroom procedure "ask 3 then me." The students have not grasped the concept. I am not sure if was my explanation or if the concept is too complicated. I plan to reintroduce the concept for spring semester. In the mean time, I made a new classroom procedure poster and set the other one aside for now. I figure if that is the only thing that has not worked I am doing okay.
Welcome Everyone From Dr. Burns
Please remember that you are to respond to the question of the week. It is located on the right side of the blog and is in RED. Then, if you would like to post something else related to teaching and learning you are welcome to do that as well. Since this is our first week, I am here to give you gentle guidance if you need it (smiling). Dr. J (Burns)

Do you know the one thing being left out of all these airline safety hearings and debates?
How damn annoying it is to travel these days.
Not the lines or delays.
They're bad enough. It's being treated like children.
This is the only business I know of that, from the moment you step into the shop, the customer's the one getting chewed out.
You go through the doors of the airport. What's the first thing you hear?
"Do not leave your bag unattended."
That's just the Charlie Brown teacher warm-up act, because if your attended-to bag needs to be checked, get ready to be grilled.
"Has this bag ever left your sight?"
You say no. Has anyone ever answered "yes" to that question?
You move onto the security line.
"Ticket and valid ID out, everybody! Now!"
Further along:
"All shoes off, all laptops out."
Confuse these and you will be shot, trust me.
You get past that, to the gate...you foolishly want to change your seat.
"You can't change seats now! Sit down, you're annoying us."
So you sit. And stew. And wait for boarding.
You think you hear your row. But are severely reprimanded when an agent loudly reminds you and anyone within a mile radius, that not only did she not call your row, but because she is so annoyed by your behavior, she never will.
So you slink back to your seat, nervously waiting for the teacher's blessing.
You're called. You're on.
But don't get too comfy.
"All electronic items must be turned off."
You nervously comply, because god forbid the plane goes down because you selfishly chose Springsteen on your ipod than safety on your jet.
Seat-backs up. Tray tables up.
I'm fed up.
And fed up with an industry that then brags about how safe it is.
As if to say, "Look at the bright side...at least you're not dead."
We're not customers; actually we're not even kids. We're cattle.
The only difference is we're paying for the privilege.

Fatal Descent
By: Beth Groundwater
An RM Outdoor Adventures Mystery #3
Between a rock and a hard paddle
Mandy Tanner and her fiancé Rob are leading an offseason rafting-climbing trip in Utah's remote Canyonlands. Experienced guides, Mandy and Rob know they have to keep their cool after one of their group, Alex Anderson, appears to have become bear bait. Walled off from the outside world with eleven shell-shocked clients and miles of Colorado River whitewater ahead, Mandy's nerves threaten to unravel when she learns that Alex's death was not the work of a homicidal grizzly. Whether it was a crime of passion or the random act of a psychopath, Mandy fears that if they don't root out the river rat among them, another camper will be running the rapids in a body bag.
"Once again, Groundwater, mixing mystery with outdoor adventure, comes up with an excursion that will please most comers."—Kirkus Reviews
"A thrilling journey . . . filled with river lore, vivid descriptions . . . and loving depictions of the varied characters."—Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine

Dog's Mercury ( Mercurialis perennis)
Mercurialis perennis, commonly known as dog's mercury, is a woodland plant found in much of Europe as well as in Algeria, Iran, Turkey, and the Caucasus, but almost absent from Ireland, Orkney and Shetland.

Black Magic__Practices and Beliefs May 19, 2009
Black magic is the negative use of energies and power by jealous and malicious human beings, whose main objective is to harm or deprive others from something. Magic has the power to seduce, dement and kill. While many people do not believe in black magic, there are also many who do. Believers are either practicing the magic or are the recipient of an evil spell.
The black magic practices are not only common in illiterate people, but in educationally sound communities as well. Although the literacy rate is increasing among people, the practice rate of Black Magic hasn't decreased; in fact it is increasing constantly with the increase of jealousy, frustration, greed, selfishness, negativity and inability to accept other's happiness and growth. It is a crime that must be stopped by educating people of its adverse effects and by highlighting it under Quran and Sunnah. Strong actions must be taken against those who practice it and those who go to sorcerers for casting it on others.
Black Magic__Practices and Beliefs May 19, 2009
1.1 Research Topic Introduction
The research topic I chose for your course is focused on the black magic. The research questions I wished to answer were: Do people really practice black magic in our country, nowadays? Is the practice of black magic decreasing with increasing literacy rate? How well can we address this problem? I chose this topic partly as a result of my interest developed from a lot of stories, related to black magic, we hear from people living around us. Additionally, I was intrigued by the advertisements we see in newspapers about dispelling its effects. Some people strongly disagree with its very existence, whereas some believe in it, while some others say that their lives have been affected by it. I wanted to investigate whether black magic is truly injuring peoples' lives, and whether education, both Islamic and scientific,...

London, 26 October 2016 – Misa von Tunzelman, Lead Director of JLL's UK Marketing & Communications and Dave Carlos, Senior Consultant in JLL's Upstream Sustainability team have been recognised for their work in promoting LGBT rights and diversity.The OUTstanding & Financial Times run annual power lists of leading LGBT and ally professionals and executives and identify future leaders across all business sectors. OUTstanding is a professional membership organisation for global businesses. They work directly with LGBT+ and ally leaders to promote inclusion in the workplace.Dave Carlos was named number 33 on the list of top 50 LGBT future leaders, while Misa Von Tunzelman was named number 45 in the top 100 executives list.JLL embeds diversity and inclusion in the firm's culture in order to allow people to feel free to be themselves in the workplace. The firm has played an active role in Changing the Face of Property, is a member of Stonewall and has spearheaded campaigns designed to reduce homophobia in the property sector.JLL also spearheaded a campaign to get over 600 construction workers to wear rainbow laces on site and hundreds of JLL employees to wear a bright colour in support of the International Day against homophobia, transphobia and biphobia (IDAHOT.) The firm's Building Pride network was also nominated by the British LGBT awards for best LGBT network of the year.JLL UK CEO Chris Ireland, commented: "The firm's Diversity & Inclusion strategy plays an essential role in making sure we continue to develop our culture of inclusivity and cultural collaboration. We have made huge strides at JLL including our multi-award winning #cantbelieveisaidthat video series challenging unconscious bias and we will carry on to ensure fairness in our recruitment and promotion procedures as well as in the development of our policies."CEO and founder of OUTstanding, Suki Sandhu added: "Large corporations have the power and influence to promote LGBT+ inclusion and pave the way for real societal change around the world. By recognising the impact of those who are leading the charge, the OUTstanding Leading LGBT+ & Ally Executives and LGBT+ Future Leaders Lists continue to inspire both businesses and individuals to drive LGBT+ equality forward."OUTstanding exists to challenge the assumption that you cannot be out and successful in business, to create role models that will inspire the next generation of business leaders and to encourage companies to use their far reaching voices for good." The full future leaders list can be viewed here.The full executives list can be viewed here. Notes to editorsFor the Leading LGBT+ executives and Leading ally executive lists, the nominee's seniority and influence was taken into consideration. They must also be visibly out, or a vocal ally, actively working to create an environment where LGBT+ people can comfortably bring their best professional selves to work. It was important that people were working towards this goal over and above their day job, which made it hard for the judges to consider diversity and inclusion professionals, however deserving. The Future Leaders list are high performing and high potential individuals, but can be at various levels in their careers. A stronger emphasis was placed on their work towards LGBT+ inclusion rather than their seniority in the business.

Research Projects
Water: From Resource to Elemental Foundation of Life.This research, with Tim Leduc, investigates the importance for environmental thought and policy of reflecting on water not just as a precious resource, but as a vital element, foundational to all life.
Cosmological Underpinnings of Urban Sustainability. This research has explored some of the cosmological and spiritual presuppositions that lie behind the integration of urban ecological thought and planning, involving the work of wildlife biologist Aldo Leopold and cultural historian and Passionist priest Thomas Berry.
Religion and Ecology: Exploring the Interconnection of Liberationist and Ecological Theologies (recently completed SSHRC project).This research was on the integration of liberation theology and newer religious approaches to environmental questions, such as the new cosmology of Thomas Berry. While much of the religious conservation around ecology has entailed ontological, doctrinal, and cosmological or "worldview" questions, there have also been religious responses that take issues of class, race, gender, poverty, and justice seriously. Indeed, many tensions have surfaced and continue to exist between these two broadly outlined ecological approaches. Thus, the question has emerged whether the ecological contributions of the world's religions are chiefly in the realm of worldviews, doctrine, and cosmology, or in the realm of a political and economic critique.
This research probed this question by focusing on one of the most challenging religious developments of the past thirty years – that of the theology of liberation, a theology that takes poverty, and increasingly, ecological destruction, seriously. Early formulations of the theology of liberation, through its use of the social sciences and critique of structural economic and political systems such as developmentalism and modernization, yields an approach where questions of worldview and cosmology potentially unite with social, economic, and political critiques, leading to a possible integration of social, religious, and ecological concerns instructive for religious ecological engagement.

When Mia heard about our plans, she of course made it known that she also would like a desk for her room. Unfortunately her room is quite a bit smaller, and there just isn't the space. But when we visited Ikea, the Stuva loft bed caught our eye, and we decided that it would be perfect for her space. I had a similar bed when I was younger and I loved it, and as we predicted when we showed her the picture in the catalogue her little eyes lit up and she was so excited.
We spent a happy couple of hours on the Ikea website working out the combination that we wanted and making sure that we had added all the bits and pieces. You can build the bed in several different configurations. We decided to have the desk sticking out at an angle with the wardrobe doors opening underneath as there wasn't much space to the right for the doors to open outwards, but you can also have the doors on the other side and the desk directly underneath the bed, which takes up less floor space.
Putting the Stuva together was a big job, and it took us a whole day to assemble. You definitely need two (fairly strong!) adults as you have to lift the top part up and over onto the shelf unit, and although it's designed for small rooms you do need quite a bit of floor space for the assembly. There's also no way that it's going to fit out of her bedroom door, let alone down the stairs, so it's not a piece of furniture to buy if you are planning on moving house in the near future!
I've condensed the build down into just six minutes in the video below, I edited out lots of shots of us looking puzzled as we examined the instructions, and faffing about trying to work out which way the pieces need to go!
As soon as we were finished Mia was desperate to get organising. I love how she's arranged her shelves with her favourite things on display, and it was also a good opportunity for a bit of a clear out.
We also purchased a pink Stickat bed pocket which hangs over the side and can store her water bottle and book. We also bought some Slakting inserts which are perfectly designed to fit into the drawers. There are also lots of other pieces of furniture in the Stuva range which would co-ordinate really well. We also had just enough space to the side to add a Trofast unit with plastic doors which is perfect for storing all her teddies.
The bed is really cosy and comfortable, if a bit of a pain to climb up to when I want to change the sheets or kiss her good night. I'm afraid that I've not been making the bed each morning as I usually do - you can't see that it's not made from the floor anyway! We have a wireless light switch so that she can turn the lights on and off from her bed, but we might look into putting her up a small shelf as well.
She has had no problems climbing up and down. I must admit that I find it a bit awkward myself as the ladder is so steep, but it certainly feels stable and I'm not worried that it's going to fall apart on me, so it would do for adults to sleep in too. The desk is lovely and she's been enjoying sitting down and doing her colouring or reading. The wardrobe is a good size too, she already has a generous wardrobe for her clothes so it's perfect to store her princess dresses and other dressing up bits.
It was definitely the best solution for her space and will hopefully grow with her and last for a good few years yet. I'd definitely recommend if you are looking for furniture for a smaller bedroom.

Equipped for the Future
Step 7:
With students, evaluate and reflect on how what was learned is
transferable to real-life situations.
Guiding Questions:
The activities in Step 7 focus student attention on how their learning supports their goals and transfers to other challenging situations. Students moving through the EFF Teaching/Learning Cycle have been reflecting on learning throughout the entire process. This step, though, is a culminating reflection about their learning and where it has taken them. It builds on the self-assessment done in Step 6, using that information to "take stock" of what has been achieved and how it can use it in their lives. A variety of Tools can be used to facilitate this reflection.

As the NFL's Sunday games rolled on, sports announcers, commentators, and reporters began commenting on President Donald Trump's criticisms of the national anthem protests burning throughout the league.
Fox Sports' Terry Bradshaw, for instance, attacked the president on Sunday saying that his criticism of the anthem protests showed a lack of understanding about the freedoms enshrined in the U.S. Constitution.
Bradshaw spoke his mind during the Fox pregame on Sunday saying that the protests were all about "freedom," Raw Story reported.
"This is America. If our country stands for anything, folks, it's freedom," Bradshaw said. "People died for that freedom. I'm not sure if our President understands those rights. That every American has the right to speak out also to protest. Believe me, these athletes do love our this great country of ours. Personally, I think our President should concentrate on North Korea and healthcare rather than ripping into athletes and the NFL."
The Constitution, though, only applies to the federal government quashing free speech and President Trump did not say anything about the government taking action against the players. He only urged the owners to act. The players have every right to proclaim their hatred for the very country making them millionaires, but they don't have the right to force fans to hear the protests nor the league to allow it.
As a private organization, the NFL is free to make its own rules of conduct within reason.
In another case, Sports Illustrated reporter Sean Gregory chimed in on Trump's comments saying that he hopes that NFL owners "stand up to Donald Trump on national anthem protests."
Gregory urged the owners to make a unified statement against the president of the United States. "Now's our chance to see if NFL owners have a sliver of their mettle," he said.
Taking perhaps a little different tact, CBS announcer James Brown urged the president to stop his attack on the NFL and instead try a little "love," Variety reported.
During Sunday's broadcast of "NFL Today," Brown said:
To be dismissive, vulgar and divisive with comments that reflect a lack of understanding, insensitive, and indeed colonizing does not serve the purpose of trying to honestly resolve problems, build bridges and foster civil dialogue. What would be more effective is … the kind of dialogue that uses the four-letter word that former UCLA coach John Wooden said is the most powerful one to effect change — and that is love.
The backlash from these reporters and commentators is the result of comments the president made last Friday evening during a rally in Huntsville, Alabama, for Republican Senate candidate Luther Strange.
During the rally, Trump criticized the NFL for allowing the anthem protests, called such players "sons of b**ches," and expressed his hope that the owners would fire protesting players.
The controversy was further fanned by a Saturday morning statement by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell who attacked Trump for creating disunity. Goodell's statement, in turn, sparked a response by Trump who urged the commissioner to tell the players to stand during the national anthem.
