As mundane as professional development meetings can be, I always try to take something positive/productive away from the experience. Today, through the AVID PD meeting (one of many we have been having to prepare for our Re-Evaluation as an AVID demonstration school) I had some positives and some productive moments.
The rest of the day involved having to find a video online from a website that was NOT blocked by the district, biting my tongue when receiving snarky and apathetic student comments, and realizing how far behind I am on grading small tasks like warm ups and graphic organizers.
Positive: the teacher life is never boring.
- Productive: Reviewing Unit 2 with an AVID lens I chose a few strategies that I will add to the prepared tasks for the unit (at least try them!) And if they really work well I can add them to the RCD unit when we finalize them at the ed of the year.
- Positive: In terms of WICOR - I am ready! But I still have some strategies that I need more practice with. There is always room for improvement.
- Productive: Some of the other teachers and I calibrated on rhetorical analysis and sentence stems to use for the rhetoric unit. I LOVE rhetoric!
