Notes from the day:
- What's the future?
- What's some pressing issues:
- Relevance: AFNR (career learning and exploration)
- Developing programs of study
- Certifications
- Whatever we inspect is what we respect.
- Engaging people
- How do we tell our story?
- How do we engage our partners more?
- Standards:
- AFNR standards are a good roadmap but look at your local needs!
- Inclusion:
- How do we build that?
- Build that family relationship
- It starts at the local level.
- As a teacher, don't spread yourself so thin that you sacrifice inclusion.
- How welcome, safe and connected will your students feel in your classroom?
- Expose your students to great people, great experiences and books.
- Invest in your students.
- Grades: as a teacher determine how you will grade students fairly so every student can succeed.
- Share with parents and administration!
- How to maximize student teaching:
- Diversify your experiences as much as possible.
- Persevere! Motivation, set backs, lessons will all be challenging so learn from it all.
