Posting for March 6, 2006

I am so impressed with your postings and responding to each other that I don't want to get us off track but...it seems like everyone is struggling a bit with classroom management issues and for some of you, not being looked at as "the teacher". Let's talk about it and what you are doing to make the transition to "in charge". Remeber a comment and a response to another person's posting.

Post and Respond for February 21, 2006

Weekly journal postings

Hi Everyone,

I just returned from a meeting in San Diego and am anxious to hear how things are going in your schools. I mentioned that there would be 4-5 major topics for Blog discussion during the semester but I also want this site to become a resource for each of you. You should be keeping a reflective journal. I would like you to choose two things at the end of every week that you would like to share with the others and post before Monday of the next week. The idea is to summarize from your journal a couple key issues. A few paragraphs will suffice and will give others a chance to respond. These postings can be about a funny third grader or a difficult discussion in 8th grade social studies class.

The hope is that this forum will give you a virtual seminar and foster good communication so obviously I expect you also will talk to each other. To be clear...you are expected to post and respond to at least one other person each week.

I will read the responses that are already posted and respond so you get the idea!

Have a nice weekend and be thinking about what you will post before Feb. 13.

Chris
