My first evaluation (ever) ...Gotta love technology! My first evaluation (ever) as a first year teacher I had a kiddo in my class who had some...special traits. I know I should remember the exact details but surprisingly I don't. Just that the lesson was going really well until near the end when some prop I needed was completely MIA. I had to try to think fast but it was obvious something wasn't right. Luckily for me my principal had already had plenty of sit downs with this kiddo so when I looked for and found the prop in his desk a little while later my principal found the whole thing to be funny and not surprising. He gave me a good review and kuddos for my endless patience! <br /><br />❤ -Stephanie<br /> <a href="http://fallingintofirst.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Falling Into First</a><br /><br /><br />❤ -Stephanie<br /> <a href="http://fallingintofirst.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Falling Into First</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11585426086929894891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3073806412999093064.post-6597406034653198182012-09-20T19:53:48.194-05:002012-09-20T19:53:48.194-05:00Sounds like it was a great lesson! And yes, despi...Sounds like it was a great lesson! And yes, despite years of excellent evaluations, I still sigh a huge breath of relief when I see the back of my principal as he/she exits through the classroom door.<br /><br />About 10 years ago I was being evaluated by a principal who wanted to see technology in use during the observation. That was her ONE MUST HAVE. I was happy to oblige. So I planned a spelling lesson with a short direct instruction lesson followed by spelling centers. And to meet the tech requirements, I had my 2 Apple IIe computers (remember those dinosaurs?!?) ready to go.<br /><br />The morning of my evaluation I arrive early to make sure everything was in place. I turned on my computers, and smoke began to waft up from behind them. Great day for them to decide to go to technology heaven!<br /><br />So I know the feeling that comes from having something unexpected happen during the evaluation.Mrs. Yazzie's Classroom Newshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07766391717630628532noreply@blogger.com
