1 - I anticipated that I would be immersed in great classrooms.
2 - I was surprised to see how fast the day went due to active lessons and the "thinking" that I was required to do throughout the day.
3. The teachers that I was fortunate to observe are two of my stellar teachers and ones that I recommend other staff to observe.  I am glad that I was able to validate that these teachers continue to provide though provoking lessons while scaffolding and differentiating for the students in their classrooms.

I was surprised by the large class and also by the music class. Seeing how much teacher/student interaction there was. There was a lot of repetition
Making sure that individual student needs are met.

1- I anticipated a day where students were clustered and grouped doing many different activities with teacher support. Kind of an organized chaos where students were building on the skills being learned through engaging collaborative activities.

1- I was surprised to see the impact of the individualized assessments on teacher time and ability to oversee the students and their learning as the teacher was kind of stuck at the desk delivering a series of assessments to each student one at a time.

1- Remind how different student learning looks in a 21st century school from the industrial model and how complex each classroom really is and appreciating the variety of learning styles each student has on an individualized basis.

I was looking forward to seeing "school" through the lens of an engaged senior. What surprised me was the small class size and the incidental conversations unrelated to the content. An impact for me as a leader is the differences in conversations and allowable, appropriate behaviors with those in "upper level" classes vs those students who are in on level classes. My impression is that on level was treated more in more of an industrial mindset.

1. I was surprised at the level of vigor in the courses the student selected and the resulting "stress" the student put himself under balancing post season sports and advanced courses.

2.  I was surprised to find that she was able to teach me math and liked me being at lunch with her.
3. As a leader I will continue to work with teachers on strategies for student engagement. The teachers I had did a good job of that which is not the case for all HS teachers.

1-I was surprised to see that she often found ways to enrich herself or serve as a leader for others, as a gifted student. She wanted to be busy and learning at all times.
1-It is good to be reminded how long a day feels from the eyes of a student. How do we set up our days so a student doesn't feel they are sitting all day long? Where is movement and engagement embedded?

I anticipated some hesitation from teachers when I was shadowing the student.
I was surprised that the teachers welcomed me with open arms and I was just part of the class.
This impacted me as a leader by providing me a great opportunity to see what my 3rd grade students will experience once they get to BC.  I think we at K-3 are preparing them well.

2 - I was surprised at how patient and accommodating BOTH staff and students were towards this student and the ways they helped to encourage the learning

2-  A surprise for me was the day starting with unstructured time and the benefit that had on the day and on the students
3- An impact for me as a leader is to continue to keep in mind all of the things that go on in the classroom, how much students learn to ignore in order to focus on their learning, and how amazing some of our teachers really are!

1.  I anticipated an exhausting day in 2nd grade.
2.  I was surprised that the students actually treated me as a fellow 2nd grader and not like an administrator.
3.  The day I had my shadow a student happened to be on a late start day.  It made me realize (and remind myself) how a schedule change greatly impacts student learning and how much was actually accomplished on that day.

I anticipated...conversation with the student I shadowed.

Surprise for me...is drastic difference there can be between one student's day from another.

1- My student developed mono and was absent the day my shadow was to occur!
1- Impact for me- just how much students need to navigate in order to be successful- not all challenges occur within school, and the outside challenges directly impact their educational progress

1 - I anticipated a long quiet bus ride with students showing great behavior.
1 surprise was the welcome I received from the family by meeting the child at their house, waiting for the bus.
1 impact for me as a leader was the time students had to wait to eat lunch.  There was about an hour that my thinking process struggled between eating food and instruction.  Without moving lunch times, how can this be resolved?

1 - I was looking forward to understanding the experience of 6th grade students
2 - Recess helped me to be more alert and on task after lunch
3 - I often hear about the differences that exist between BC and MS, but what I discovered is that the day for students is very similar in regards to teaching and learning. I did appreciate the order that exists at BC as well as the community that develops amongst the students that travel together during the day.

1. I anticipated seeing growth, both in the student I was shadowing and the other students in her classes.
1. What surprised me was how much maturation I saw in less than a year. There were several students who struggled in the MS; however, I saw them thriving in the HS classes. The one year of maturity made a world of difference for some of these students.
1. The impact this experience had on me was profound. One, I realized that our students continued to grow, which was a credit to the hard work our staff put in for the two years they had those students. Two, middle school is really, really tough! The high school is a much bigger world, and students are exposed to more options, both academically and in extra-curriculars. As a leader, I have to continue to see the big picture and not just focus on the here and now. We are preparing students for the rest of their lives. As such, I have to continue to lead with the end in mind.

1. I anticipated that I would be very busy with little down time in the Kindergarten class as a lot of material would be covered in a short amount of time..
2. A surprise for me was the teacher had all the ELD students and was able to speak Spanish to help with instruction.  In addition, she also instructed the entire class in Spanish during carpet time. Also, independent learning stations that students were able to handle with little hesitation or disciplinary issues.
3.  One impact for me as a leader was that I was able to reflect on secondary teacher versus primary teacher instructional time and have it take me back to my early years of teaching.
