I started this year balancing two jobs: My Curriculum Specialist position and my position teaching three classes of 6th grade Earth Space Science (a curriculum I have never taught before!) Like many teachers in Florida, I will also be incorporating the new Common Core standards, will need to demonstrate effective Marzano teaching strategies, and will be embracing a curriculum that must be challenging and rigorous for my students. On top of that, add coordinating the School Improvement plan, the partnership program, the Common Core Implementation team, mentoring new teachers, hall duty, and bus duty.
Oh yeah, don't forget, I am also taking THREE graduate courses which are part of a specialized, rigorous program in my district- these classes require tons of reading, writing papers, and performing leadership tasks in my school.
Oh and by the way... let's prepare for a Hurricane too! Hummm, it has been quite a week in deed!!I am glad that school is closed tomorrow, I need a day to catch up!
Hope your first week of school was a little less hectic!
