Field Experience at PRM Done!

Hi All,

Today I finished my 15 hour field experience at PRM. I taught to 5 classes (3 Advanced Math 6 graders and 2 Advanced Math 7 graders). I would say 2.5 lessons were Flawless (criteria from evaluation sheet), and the other 2.5 were Flawed. The Flawed lessons were a mixture of problems in classroom management and poor planning/mistakes on my part. I'm my worst critic. But as I told my students today - you learn from your mistakes. My lessons were on Team Work & Presentation. As one of my students said in class, "you learn from trial and error". Below are some links that I used to find out about PRM, and were very helpful in finding more about the School (demographics) and the Teacher I spent the week with.

Many Thanks to Siobhan & Stephanie for giving me my lead to find a Teacher/School for the required field experience - what a GREAT TEAM you are. We are very fortunate to have the both of you in our EPI class - I don't know what we would have done without you.

See you all on Sat. morn.
