I want my students to feel like I'm confident and feel comfortable having me as a teacher. I feel very anxious and pretty unprepared, and I want to leave the meeting having the students feeling like they have a confident teacher that's ready to help them learn.

Tiffany

2020-06-22 15:07:25 UTC

My goals is to utilize all the resources I was provided to hold a successful session this morning. Also, I want to complete the entire learning sessions with students as expected.

Hannah

2020-06-22 15:07:26 UTC

I will stay focused and not rush too much, even though they weren't there last week. It is more important that they feel comfortable and confident than it is for me to get through everything.

Katherine

2020-06-22 15:07:29 UTC

My biggest goal is to build a relationship with the students and make sure they leave our session today feeling comfortable, clear on what we will be doing, and more confident in their ability to complete work involving consonant digraphs!

Tim

2020-06-22 15:07:30 UTC

I want to be as clear as possible. I want my students leaving the session with an idea of what this time will look like. I want them to leave excited for the next session while at the same time feeling comfortable and safe.

Ging

2020-06-22 15:07:30 UTC

Today I want to hold myself to the scheduled time for the session, while getting to know my students and getting through the material!

Tia

2020-06-22 15:07:35 UTC

I want to have grace with myself. I'm doing the best I can with the limited instructions that were given. The most important thing I want to give to students is that reading can be fun. I plan to do this by showing up engaged and laughing when I inevitably make a mistake

Deborah Siegel

2020-06-22 15:07:35 UTC

I want to be as personable as possible with my students.

First, I hope my students show up. Second, I just hope that I am not too hard on myself since it will be my first time meeting the students/families, and just try my best!

2020-06-22 15:07:39 UTC

Andrew

2020-06-22 15:07:40 UTC

As today is the first day I'll be meeting my students, I want to gain the confidence from today's lesson to have a solid base for my students going forward.

Be energized and joyful! Make students feel comfortable :)

2020-06-22 15:07:55 UTC

Today I want to focus on setting up a great virtual learning space for my students.

Emmie

2020-06-22 15:08:02 UTC

Today, I want to show up energized and excited for the students and their families! I think that by focusing on my screen presence in this way, they will feel more comfortable in the new space and confident in participating.

Allison

2020-06-22 15:08:08 UTC

I want to focus on building relationships with my students and not putting too much pressure on myself if I fumble over my words or make a mistake. I want to be clear and concise in my directions and communicating the learning objective of the lesson to the students. I want to have an engaging presence and begin to work towards the goal we have already set of making reading fun

Max

2020-06-22 15:08:10 UTC

I want to get a good grasp on who the students are as learners and where they are as readers

Arisa

2020-06-22 15:08:21 UTC

I want to be clear in my directions. Providing online instruction like this is a challenge but I want to make sure my students understand what they have to do.

Blondene

2020-06-22 15:08:29 UTC

I want to give clear instruction and I want to keep the time restriction for each section. And have fun.

Jonathan

2020-06-22 15:09:08 UTC

I want to continue to connect with my students and families. I want my students to feel accomplished.

I want to be able to time manage better so that I can have a good balance between content and getting to know my student.

Cecily

2020-06-24 15:03:23 UTC

I feel like I need a LOT of practice at anticipating student responses. I hope to get a lot of insights from my group members today.

Audrey Daley

2020-06-24 15:03:23 UTC

Today, I want to grow in my natural, but edited teacher verbiage/voice.

Jillian

2020-06-24 15:03:26 UTC

Increasing energy and enthusiasm in my lessons even though theyre online

I want to use my new found confidence in my tutoring session this morning so that I give my best to my students.

2020-06-24 15:03:31 UTC

Ellie

2020-06-24 15:03:32 UTC

Being more fun & asking students more questions!!

Jonathan

2020-06-24 15:03:42 UTC

Maintaining energy through-out micro teaching and internalizing the lesson for a less "scripted" delivery.

Kit

2020-06-24 15:03:43 UTC

Good pacing! I have a tendency to speak too fast and need to slow down. Also break out large blocks of instruction/directions

Blondene

2020-06-24 15:03:48 UTC

I just want to have more energy and confidence in teaching ability.

Emmie

2020-06-24 15:03:52 UTC

I want to be able to improve in my time management of the lessons, and allow for more spontaneity based on what seems to interest my students as opposed to closely following the script.

Brittany

2020-06-24 15:04:14 UTC

I want to maintain an engaging presence throughout rehearsal by working on my teacher voice and sincere and authentic praise.

Nichelae McFarlane

2020-06-24 15:05:08 UTC

I want to grow in "discipline"/stern voice

Vanessa H

2020-06-24 15:06:03 UTC

Today I would like to grow in my "scripted but natural" teacher voice.

Jelani

2020-06-24 15:06:05 UTC

I would like to work more on implementing the authentic praise and start to build the muscles needed to ask backpocket questions that are effective

Tim

2020-06-24 15:06:09 UTC

I want to put in more effort every time I do the rehearsals. Also I really want to focus on verbally making clear student center directions. I tend to be a little too complicated with my directions.

Elizabeth

2020-06-24 15:06:13 UTC

I want to have an engaging presence, incorporate checks for understanding, and talk through back pocket questions.

Bre

2020-06-24 15:06:14 UTC

I want to use the feedback and include it into the second round of practice

Deb

2020-06-24 15:06:23 UTC

Today I want to work on engaging all learners. I received some great feedback from my peers yesterday and want to incorporate that in the rehearsal time today.

Tyresha

2020-06-24 15:06:24 UTC

Today I want to learn more strategies and used them in my teaching lesson. I also want to reflect on how those strategies will be impactful for my students.

I want to gain confidence in myself while I rehearse and give 150% so that my students can get 100%.

Sydney

2020-06-24 15:06:34 UTC

I would like to grow in my engaging presence and being able to speak naturally rather than feeling like I have to read off the script.

Max

2020-06-24 15:06:37 UTC

I want to give clear directions and make use of the new terms I've learned

Allison

2020-06-24 15:06:39 UTC

I want to work on delivering more clear and concise directions. Also last nights annotations were hard for me so I'm hoping on collaborating and learning from my peers about the concepts there.

Maddie

2020-06-24 15:06:53 UTC

I want to work continuing to be open with my group about where I feel unsure and if there are certain things I want feedback on.

Andrew

2020-06-24 15:06:55 UTC

Today during rehearsal I hope to focus on giving specific praise and further improving the lesson plan based on our collective intuition.

I want to be confident in my ability to work with the students and to help them!

2020-06-24 15:07:20 UTC

Quinn

2020-06-24 15:07:25 UTC

I really want to take advantage of this collaborative time to learn from my peers about responding to unengaged students, which is an area that I don't feel super confident in (yet!)

Tia

2020-06-24 15:08:09 UTC

I want to grow in my comfort with uncertainty. My students are at two different reading levels, and I've never had them together. Today will be the first day, and I am eager to see how they work together. It might not work, and that's okay. I can evaluate and adjust during and after

2020-06-24 15:08:13 UTC

I want to grow my relationship with my student!

Tiffany

2020-06-24 15:08:15 UTC

I want to improve in the way I present the launch/objectives with the use of CRP.

I hope to finish establishing a "flow" of my sessions with my students and their families.

Jillian

2020-06-29 15:05:35 UTC

I want to continue to connect with my student and find activities/instruction that my student is excited about doing

Hannah

2020-06-29 15:05:38 UTC

I am going to try and mixup the order of things because my kiddo has a really hard time and we never make it to the reading bit. I am going to jump straight in to better analyze her abilities so I can give helpful tips to her mom.

Tim

2020-06-29 15:05:39 UTC

I want to modify the lessons from this point forward to focus on what will benefit my student so she can grow as much as possible during these next 2 weeks.

Vanessa H

2020-06-29 15:05:39 UTC

I am hoping to grow in my level of comfort in the material as well as in my ability to personalize the lesson based on my student's needs. I will work to incorporate more of the things we have been learning during VSTT into these virtual lessons in preparation for the high probability that I will have a virtual classroom in the fall.

Andrew

2020-06-29 15:05:39 UTC

To continue using this co-teaching opportunity to further the bond with my fellow corps member Tiffany and to utilize that partner to help us both grow as people and teachers.

Allison

2020-06-29 15:05:39 UTC

My student sometimes doesn't want to be in the session and says he hates to read so I would like to foster more of a joy of learning and reading in my student.

Tia

2020-06-29 15:05:41 UTC

Thanks to Sue, I will now have more time to spend with my ELL student. I'm looking forward to building a deeper relationship with her and her mom. I've not had a ton of experience with ELL students, and I'm looking forward to building that skillset

Elizabeth

2020-06-29 15:05:42 UTC

Today I am going to have each student set an individual goal for the lesson. I want to apply more checks for understanding and opportunities for my students to discuss

Emmie

2020-06-29 15:05:43 UTC

I hope to personalize the format of the lessons a little more, and be more intentional about tailoring my instruction to the student's interests and needs.

Jessica

2020-06-29 15:05:44 UTC

I hope to grow this week during my springboard instruction by changing the lesson plan to continuously fit my scholars needs-- working towards the goal we set together during our first session!

Bella

bellaguzzi — 2020-06-29 15:05:44 UTC

Helping my student master specific phonemes and building his reading confidence

Mary

2020-06-29 15:05:44 UTC

I hope to be able to take full advantage of the short 30 minutes. I want to build a connection with the students while also staying on task.

Quinn

2020-06-29 15:05:47 UTC

I'm hoping to continue learning from my students - they had some great ideas for what they wanted to do last week! I'm also hoping to do a better job at keeping them focused/on track, Friday's session was longer so by the end they were a little antsy

Deb

2020-06-29 15:05:51 UTC

I hope to continue building a relationship with my student! I also want to continue adding in some of the skills we have been learning into my lesson plan.

Kit

2020-06-29 15:05:54 UTC

I want to use this opportunity to learn how to effectively co-teach

Blondene

2020-06-29 15:05:57 UTC

I am hoping to take the information that I learned in "The Science of Reading" and apply it to my instruction with my student.

Cecily

2020-06-29 15:05:57 UTC

I am hoping to be more clear on my instructions with my students and continue to build relationships!

Max

2020-06-29 15:05:59 UTC

I would like to learn a little more about my students and deepen our relationship.

I hope to integrate what I have learned so far and be more confident in applying that learning into my day to day practice.

2020-06-29 15:06:01 UTC

Jelani

2020-06-29 15:06:02 UTC

I hope to introduce more scholar reflection/ break from the script a little. It will likely help them think more critically about the content

Jonathan

2020-06-29 15:06:03 UTC

I pray I can continue to find ways to engage my student with the material.

It will be my first time working with a student on Springboard, so just looking forward to finally do it.

2020-06-29 15:06:03 UTC

Audrey Daley

2020-06-29 15:06:04 UTC

This week, I am hoping to work with my new co-teacher to keep both students as engaged in the lesson as possible, deepening our relationships with them and helping them to feel more comfortable learning with us virtually.

Victoria

2020-06-29 15:06:04 UTC

Challenge the scholars more by asking more questions about the book we will be reading. Paying attention to each student's goals and help them grow as students.

Maddie

2020-06-29 15:06:08 UTC

I'm hoping to build a stronger relationship with my student. It was her birthday over the weekend and on Friday she told me all about it. I'm excited to check in and hear more :)

Sydney

2020-06-29 15:06:30 UTC

I have three students. One student struggles more with reading and tends to get distracted easily. I hope to use some of the skills we've learned about responding to unengaged learners to help keep him on track. Also, I tried to edit my springboard lesson to meet the varying needs of my students based on their skill levels and interests.

Katherine

2020-06-29 15:06:33 UTC

I hope to have more flow within my sessions and also find different activities to engage and challenge my student more

Nichelae

2020-06-29 15:06:35 UTC

I'm hoping to have 2 of my students with me in the session to work with them more in a group setting rather than the previous one on one.

Arisa

2020-06-29 15:06:42 UTC

I hope to continue to build a stronger connection with my students. I also want to be able to be more relaxed because I know that me being tense during springboard can translate into my teaching.

Bre

2020-06-29 15:07:01 UTC

I want to connect with my students and make the lessons engaging

Tyresha

2020-06-29 15:07:02 UTC

I want to continue to connect with my students and teach them the strategies to be a stronger reader.

2020-06-29 15:07:34 UTC

I'm hoping to connect with my new student and be patient with his antsy-ness.

She has created such a great space for our DEI sessions and supported us through these sessions. I am so grateful for a space I have truly been learning and growing in this aspect

Clare is a genuine inspiration! I'm so grateful for her energy and her practical advice. She takes a daunting task and makes it manageable. We know that she hasn't been given all the answers to VSTT issues, but she does everything she can to give us all the info and help we need. 🥰

Clare's humility, understanding, and vulnerability throughout this whole process have really made an impression on me. She inspires me to be my authentic self in my classroom, just as she is her authentic self in her classroom and with us.

Both Renee and Clare have been open and vulnerable with all of us. I really appreciated hearing their personal stories related to what we have been working on. Shoutout to Clare who has been answering so many of my questions and just being a super supportive, sweet and flexible person. Renee as well, I appreciate because she has made the space feel welcoming and allows everyone to be heard.

Clare blessed us immensely this past week (every week tbh) with breaking down the learning cycles' performance tasks, and their subsequent practice. I feel immensely better after watching her practice videos and her energy is just amazing at making me feel confident in the work that is given.

2020-07-01 15:05:56 UTC

Clare and Renee both have pushed me to be the best teacher I can be both in terms of actual content and in being an anti-racist, activist teacher for my students and community.

2020-07-01 15:06:01 UTC

Clare is so genuine and always provides so many real examples from her own experiences. She always has feedback that makes my lesson plans so much better.

I want to shout out Clare for being so RESILIENT. There are so many things that are new to her as well and that she's trying to navigate with us. She is so real and honest, and I love that she will just tell it like it is. She is so sweet but also a firecracker, which I appreciate.

2020-07-01 15:06:06 UTC

Both Renee and Clare have been so amazing during this summer training! They always go above and beyond and really push us to give 150%!

Both

2020-07-01 15:06:48 UTC

Both Clare and Renee have been so patient and kind throughout VSTT. No question is a bad question to them, and they both will deviate from their plans to make sure they're accommodating others' questions/comments/concerns. Their flexibility is both thoughtful and inspiring!

Renee

2020-07-01 15:06:58 UTC

Renee has shown us CRP in action!!! I am so grateful for Renee and the way she has opened up space for us to be raw and uncomfortable in order to push ourselves to grow.

Renee has gone above and beyond to make the DEI curriculum and workshops relevant to our learning community. She is also an incredible listener. I am so thankful for her leadership this summer!

Thank you to Renee for facilitating difficult conversations that need to be had, even when it isn't the exact curriculum TFA had laid out for us. You are ready to adjust on the fly to make sure we get what we need to grow and become better leaders and allies <3
