I chase after my twins, hike with my family, read a good book, binge watch a TV show on Netflix, or take a Spinning class at the gym.]]> 2016-07-20 14:55:05 UTC https://padlet.com/limestall/2ma34e7frakf/wish/116699715 Hiking with my little man limestall https://padlet.com/limestall/2ma34e7frakf/wish/116699950 2016-07-20 14:58:24 UTC https://padlet.com/limestall/2ma34e7frakf/wish/116699950 A good fiction book... limestall https://padlet.com/limestall/2ma34e7frakf/wish/116703481 2016-07-20 15:53:48 UTC https://padlet.com/limestall/2ma34e7frakf/wish/116703481 Exercise... limestall https://padlet.com/limestall/2ma34e7frakf/wish/116703514 I have recently taken up Spinning at the Gym. It kicks my butt, but is helping me to regain my shape after my twin pregnancy. I am hoping to continue a 5:30am class once school is back in session.]]> 2016-07-20 15:54:29 UTC https://padlet.com/limestall/2ma34e7frakf/wish/116703514 2) The courses I teach limestall https://padlet.com/limestall/2ma34e7frakf/wish/116704061 I teach 9th grade Biology and an introductory course entitled, “Principles of Biomedical Science” (which is my CTE course) ]]> 2016-07-20 16:06:07 UTC https://padlet.com/limestall/2ma34e7frakf/wish/116704061 3) Motivation to teach this course... limestall https://padlet.com/limestall/2ma34e7frakf/wish/116704096 If I am being perfectly honest, I agreed to teach my course well before anyone knew it would be considered a CTE course and would require a special credential.  The course, Biomedical Science, is one that would interest most any Life Science teacher.  I have always been interested in Medicine, and at one point thought I might study to become a Nurse Practitioner, but alas, that did not happen. ]]> 2016-07-20 16:06:52 UTC https://padlet.com/limestall/2ma34e7frakf/wish/116704096 4) The Industry... limestall https://padlet.com/limestall/2ma34e7frakf/wish/116704152 I have never worked in the Medical Industry, although I've done some work as a Program Director for Personal Fitness & Nutritional Consultation.]]> 2016-07-20 16:07:42 UTC https://padlet.com/limestall/2ma34e7frakf/wish/116704152 5) What worked & didn't work for me in school... limestall https://padlet.com/limestall/2ma34e7frakf/wish/116704191 Unlike my students, I was pretty good at studying & didn’t really have issues knowing HOW to learn.  I took detailed & structured notes that I reviewed regularly in advance of our assessments.  I was highly motivated to earn good grades, and was diligent about work completion and meeting quality standards.  
 
However, I would say that while I earned good grades and did well on tests, retention of content was not good.  To this day I can tell you very little about American history, and what I do recall is generally wrong.  I cared very little for the subject in school, but still managed to memorize for an exam and forget it all the next day.
