Over the last month John and I each had one "open class" where other English teachers, in addition to the principal and vice principal, sat and watched us teach a class. The class is also video taped, and the video is sent to the local office of education. If we get high marks from teachers, administrators and students, we move on to round two. This doesn't actually mean a whole lot except if we did well in the second round then we would get a bonus if we stayed a second year.
One of the teachers at my school took a photo with her cell phone. And John's teachers got a few more.

I can't explain it, but I think this may be one of my favorite posts to date! I wish there was audio to go along with the 4th picture.
ReplyDeleteDamn. You guys look professional. Wow! Somehow these last photos reinforced what you actually spend most of your time doing. Thank you for the peek into your school lives.
ReplyDeleteJohn throwing his hands up in the air with Mad Libs on the screen basically screams, "my work is done here." I love it.
