I have 7 cats

I’ve been to 5 countries

I’m working on a masters at cal state Long Beach

# data[].attributes.body
One success over the first 13 days is...master schedule team developing more honors and AP courses with less students than last year having to change schedules.

One challenge is...putting together a copy machine policy.

# data[].attributes.body
Success: Most of the students demonstrate competency in material covered so far

Difficulty: Keeping students on task for smaller tasks/activities

# data[].attributes.body
Success: Writing my first IEP and having a successful IEP meeting.

Challenge: Making the transition from working with elementary students to working with high school students.

# data[].attributes.body
Successes: building rapport with students, classroom routine established
Challenge: learning how to use the CPM textbook online, 2 projectors burnt out

# data[].attributes.body
A minor challenge I’ve had so far is accessing things online such as rosters, IEP’s, accessing the internet and the desktop in the art class but I know a lot of this will be resolved soon. Something that would be helpful to me is having more information on procedures such as: how to reserve the computer lab, if a student needs to work outside of the class who is the right person to send them to, and alist of any other campus resources that I should be aware of.

# data[].attributes.body
One challenge I am having is figuring out what types of activities or hands-on lessons are appropriate for a high school life skills class. In addition, I am looking for ways to keep all students engaged for an entire lesson while keeping their individual academic and behavior needs in mind.

# data[].attributes.headline
One challenge that I'm having is figuring out how long it takes students to understand the lesson, and how I should scaffold the lesson according to what they do and don't know.  I think that as I find out what is developmentally appropriate for each grade level I'm teaching, and their levels I'll be able to scaffold thembetter.

I would like to go back and provide new teachers a better walk through and introduction of how the school functions and where things are.
Also, try to build in more time for team building school wide to continue to build a more positive teacher school climate.

# data[].attributes.body
Day one would have been a Powerpoint presentation of class syllabus, class rules and introductions. But my projector had other plans and I still need to learn how to use Google classroom, Hapara and am just incorporating technology access for CPM. We are very fortunate to have the Chrome carts in our classroom now.

Aaron: As a first year teacher, I think I underestimated the amount of paperwork and organization involved in the field. If I could go back, I would have a more efficient system in place to keep track of IEP paperwork, data logs, and other items. I have recently looked into teacherspayteachers.com as a resource for organizational tools.

How to be more efficient on emails.  I spend too many hours going through-replying to emails which prevents me from being in classes.

# data[].attributes.body
Find more opportunities to use student AAC devices throughout the day, on and off campus. Create more picture communication tools for all of my students. Minimize student problem behavior. Actively involve support staff and families in all aspects of student learning. Also, New year new walls! :)

# data[].attributes.body
Approaching things with a growth mindset! Embrace difficulty and the effort it takes to do things. Celebrate the small increments of success.

# data[].attributes.body
I want to read more. Learn how to bridge more with families so that I can explain to students and families how to overcome adversity.

# data[].attributes.body
Best moment so far this year is seeing the joy in our students faces when they are accepted to college!

Support I need from the district is more time on campus (pulling off campus too much!)  Especially in February-March when we are working non-stop.

One of my best teaching moment this year was when a student who struggles in math was able to help another student in class.

It would be great to get support on administering or grading District Benchmarks, or a clerk to organize and follow up with logistics of IEP meetings and paperwork.

# data[].attributes.body
an exceptional collaborative discussion!  This showed how well they have developed, learned, and matured throughout the year!

# data[].attributes.body
I plan to incorporate more supplemental lessons for my students next year. Although we are fairly close to our gen ed CPM colleagues, the students struggled through each lesson/chapter. I hope that new teacher meetings would give us time to navigate any new system (Aeries, Illuminate, etc) that we would use.

# data[].attributes.body
Next year, I will focus on creating more inquiry, project-based lessons  that will allow students to engage in more of a rigorous learning process. I also hope that for future new teacher meetings, an emphasis can be placed on how to navigate new programs.
