2024-08-29 00:22:05 UTC

I heard that it's really hard, and I've heard my own fair share of horror stories about getting it done and turned in on time.

research and writing intensive

2024-08-29 00:22:17 UTC

2024-08-29 00:22:23 UTC

I've heard we record ourselves.

2024-08-29 00:22:28 UTC

I've heard it's overwhelming

2024-08-29 00:22:29 UTC

That you need to stay on top of it or it can get out of hand at the end of the cycle.

2024-08-29 00:22:32 UTC

Includes a lot of information

2024-08-29 00:22:34 UTC

you have to follow the instructions very carefully and its sort of like a portfolio showcasing your teaching

2024-08-29 00:22:35 UTC

Hard and writing intensive.

getting to know your students is key

2024-08-29 00:22:41 UTC

That it very intense, and can be intimidating

2024-08-29 00:22:42 UTC

I heard its not that bad, you just got to grind it.

2024-08-29 00:22:43 UTC

Get it done as soon as possible

2024-08-29 00:22:44 UTC

2024-08-29 00:22:49 UTC

They are very particular about all of the submissions

2024-08-29 00:22:49 UTC

It's a two cycle process with multiple parts. The best way to benefit yourself is by starting early and recording as many lessons as you can

2024-08-29 00:22:49 UTC

Is time consuming and you have to be on it

2024-08-29 00:22:49 UTC

We have to focus on three students

That the video submissions can be rejected if edited or in the wrong format.

2024-08-29 00:22:49 UTC

2024-08-29 00:22:51 UTC

I've heard it is mostly tedious, busy work and kind of unnecessary... (hopefully they abolish it)

2024-08-29 00:22:54 UTC

I have a vague idea of how it's going to go, but not a whole lot.

Anxiety

2024-08-29 00:22:55 UTC

2024-08-29 00:22:56 UTC

I heard its very stressful and the preparation is extensive!

Very repetitive templets

2024-08-29 00:22:57 UTC

2024-08-29 00:23:14 UTC

It's repetitive. We have to write and rewrite the same ideas for multiple answers. If it feels like you've written the same answer three or four times you're doing it right.

2024-08-29 00:23:16 UTC

I have heard that it is something like a review of the recorded lesson you constructed and performed

Knowing how to alter the same basics of a lesson plan to make it equitable for all students is part of what it's guiding you to analyze

Will we have enough time to complete cycle 1 if we move to a different school?

2024-08-29 00:23:24 UTC

It is very time consuming and requires a lot of details, cannot assume that the people evaluating are going to continue the thoughts through the sections.

2024-08-29 00:23:26 UTC

I've heard we have to record lessons and submissions have to be almost perfect or they can get rejected

it's a scam

2024-08-29 00:23:26 UTC

2024-08-29 00:23:27 UTC

lots of writing. have to look at the small specific details. weird wording to me

2024-08-29 00:23:27 UTC

We take videos of us teaching, consists of lots of academic language and to look up helpful hints and videos to find the tricks on passing the first time. Lots of specific verbiage that needs to be used. Stay on top of it and it can be done!

2024-08-29 00:23:28 UTC

I have actually taken cycle 1. Ioriginally got an intern job, and took it early.

Phy Ed make sure video sound is good quality

2024-08-29 00:23:28 UTC

overwhelming!

2024-08-29 00:23:33 UTC

Writing writing writing and repetition

2024-08-29 00:23:38 UTC

Don't stress over it. It will be worth it.

2024-08-29 00:24:40 UTC

The people who grade the CAL TPA look for the littlest things. If you do not complete the assignment perfectly, they will not even look at your assignment.

2024-08-29 00:24:52 UTC

Start early and fill out the blanks as much as you can.

2024-08-29 00:24:59 UTC

I heard it's good to have two different cameras going at the same time incase one of them dies or one angle isn't good.

2024-08-29 00:25:17 UTC

It can get overwhelming, time consuming and challenging, but what have to get it done one way or another.

Follow the Rubric!!
