Pedagogically - standpoint of the arts and sciences of teaching

Purpose of review: to remember what we did last class, to have a tool to review in our own classrooms, there are lengthy periods of time between our classes

8:15 - 9:15 - Field Information Seminar
 * A stance of professional curiosity
 * Lesson plans must be approved before you teach
 * Staying busy

4 field supervisors Be at Garry by 8:15 on Tuesday. We will carpool. Dress code: don't look ratty, shoulders covered, no flip flops or shorts, dress professionally like you're going to an interview. All documents are going to be on BlackBoard. Remember to turn off your phone before entering Garry and turn it back on after leaving. Check all of your social media outlets and make sure nothing you wouldn't want your boss or students to see is on there. Meet with supervisors.

9:15 - 9:25 - Break

Talked about how Garry is organized and who the cooperating teachers (CT) were. AVID classes will need training in the AVID style. Keep any social media posts about field experience PR positive and don't use any names. Stay busy in the classroom: ask CT what you can do, a student the CT wants your help with, offer to do little tasks/chores around the classroom, ask about their management plan and how you can support it. By October 3rd, have a date for your lesson scheduled with November 26 as the last possible day to do the lesson.

9:25 - 9:45 - Lesson Design Plan

"academic language" - language the students need in order to do well in an academic class, not cafeteria language. recognize if there are any key terms/vocabulary, try to keep it 5-7 "differentiation" - each kid has different needs and learning abilities No real quizzes, just checks for understanding and maybe a single question exit slip. TPA - class logistics, IEPS, and 504s - not a first day question for the CT

9:45 - 10:30 - New Teachers Survival Guide (NTSG)
 * Cultivating Professional Relationships with Students
 * Attention Getting Techniques
 * Stop. Wait. Smile - make eye contact, thank those being quiet
 * Proximity
 * Non-verbal Cues - hand motions/gestures
 * Lower your voice - brings class energy down
 * State name and give very specific instructions. Wait. - simple, don't question, use please

Helpful: *Don't let guard down. * Show you're in control. *Don't engage in a power struggle. Essential: *Positive, supportive relationships with students that possess mutual trust and respect. *Be prepared, make it "sparkle."

Roll plays to practice NTSG techniques. Watch your CT for techniques. Bring a notebook with you to Garry.
