We talked about the correct way to make a lesson plan. The thing most of us did wrong on the lessons plan we made was that we did not actually make the plan with times expected to complete the tasks we planned. The Gong book says if you want to learn and want your students to learn they have to teach what they have learned to some one else.
Vista Jr. High Shop teacher
The classes were arranged with the shop and the class room next to each other, but you had to go out into the hall way to get from one to another. The class room had lots of cool rocket and plane pics on the wall and in general was a very cool place.
Students and teacher were excited and energetic, but under control. The students seemed to me more under control than last weeks class, even thought they were enen larger, aprox. 40 students. The class was making solar ovens.
One area of improvement may be to have the student who are finished help the one who are not.
The teaching for this project was guided practice.
I would have taught the class just as I observed it being taught.
Overall I had a great impression and I'm excited to teach myself in a similar environment.
