Lesson Plans, Micro-teaching, August 1 Post

Lesson planning: learning how to do this is like getting the key to a treasure chest.

I have been reinventing the wheel as an art teacher for a long time. I am lucky enough to have wonderful human resources to call upon for advice about teaching; my best friend is an art specialist, for example. But it's been ridiculously hard to get enough information to suit me.

When I went to the informational talk about the program that Amelia gave, she said, "You will know what you're doing" by the time we finish the fifth quarter. The picture of what this means is gelling for me with every class we take.

I also feel so appreciative of the cohort. The two examples of micro-teaching we saw were as instructive as the other information we are getting about how to do it. The support we give each other is so sustaining to me.
