This was a quick week, and today was a very non-eventful day. Black days are usually easy, and this black day was no exception. My first period Read 180 class finished up watching Contagion, my only English 12 class of the day did research on their pro/con essays, iPass, prep, and then my Read 180 lab class worked on re-writing and revising their drafts for the narrative paragraphs.
During my prep, I did have my post-evaluation meeting to go over my lesson and receive my TAP score. It went about as I thought it would, and I was right where I needed to be. My evaluator said it was a ballsy lesson to be evaluated on, but that it worked well. I chose this lesson to be evaluated on because I wanted to prove a point with this whole TAP rubric stuff. I did very little "teaching" in my lesson, and I was only the facilitator of what went on in my classroom. Also, this is a lesson I could use again at any time, and I very well may with a different evaluation and a different evaluator. Sometimes, everything is just a game that must be played, and this is no Kobayashi Maru.
Today was also my school's homecoming. The soccer team was in the parade, and my two oldest boys rode in the truck with me throwing candy to the masses. We stayed for the first half of the game, then we went home were I promptly collapsed and lost consciousness around 10 pm. Yep, asleep at 10 pm on a Friday night. Maybe I need a break soon.
