How did you select students?

# data[].attributes.body
explaining more deeply to students what their role is and establishing protocol or norms more clearly. but naturally that’ll come after doing something for the first time :)

Clearer directions for the kids

What were YOUR reflections on the experience?

it would be really interesting to do one of these around race/identity/disclosure vs teaching in general

Pausing protocol/norms with students and student teachers. I liked the rehearsals as a whole though

This was NOT a classroom management simulation

So much of teaching large classes is simply keeping everyone on track. It's about making sure the sleepy kids keep their heads up, about making sure the kids don't just do the bare minimum & check out, it's about keeping them off their phones or preventing other side-conversations. I feel like teaching in a "perfect" environment (as this essentially felt like) more-or-less sets up unrealistic expectations for the lesson enactment in the classroom.

I mean obviously these are challenging aspects to simulate & prepare for (literally this is a voluntary evening class they signed up for, so not the students who would be super bleh about school). BUT I am curious what it would be like if you just told the kids to get their phones out and annoy the teachers.

This methods course has genuinely been one of my favorite course of my entire schooling experience & three weeks was a lot of time to hand over to the kids. I think I loved the idea of the rehersals but I am not entirely sure how much I am taking away from it

The feedback surveys afterwards felt a bit repetitive and not the most productive

I really enjoyed the watching Andy interact with the students - it is one thing to talk about teaching but it is another to actually get to see Andy enact structures & approaches (also similar to watching Dr. S at Sayre!).

AJ was welcoming towards students during norming and making it feel like a safe space

You guys put a lot of thought into putting this together for us to learn from and it was a really unique experience that we might not get again!

WONDERFUL job on arranging the students, organizing everyone's materials, preparing them for the purpose of the whole activity - just phenomenal work on all the logistical back-end. Esp the slide themes (very pretty), the timely enactment, and situating an environment where the students felt comfortable doing something that's quite unusual for them.

I love how ambitious this plan was and that we got to be a part of it. We talk so much about teaching being a profession and this was REALLY something that made it feel like we were professionals trying to become better.
