Jan 26 "Intern Reports"

These reports are done for all students who have an average of 50 or less. It is also done, if time permits, for students who are between 51 and 55. This policy is from the Vancouver School Board, and it varies from district to district. If they were failing in Term 1, they not necessarily have it, although some parents may request an intern report EVERY month. Be careful with the info you disclose ( class average of diverse students)

We also talked about adaptations for students with special needs. For example, ESL students are allowed to use electronic dictionary. Other special ed students may be allowed extra time in tests.

Lesson plan submission

Lesson plans should be submitted 4 days in advance. They will be amended, resubmitted and changes should be implemented during instruction. Lessons should have Intro (pre-requisite, review, warm up puzzle), core (new material) and conclusion (summary, assign homework)
We needs something for marking every week: Quiz, class activity, can be more in order to get an idea where they're at, go to the board in pairs. The point is to assess their learning. 2 things is better. Introduce new approaches to educational (MAED 314, Thinking Mathematically, Week plan and lesson plans. For the week plans just write about the three moments of class. Look at textbook: exercises type "a" (easy), "b" (medium), and "c" (difficult) Bring something interesting.

Look for my questioning techniques. Conclusions: a game, perhaps?, summary. Think of ways of arranging the class environment.
