FFA Week Preperation

 When we talk about FFA being a student run organization, I really had to let go of the reins with planning out next week. I worked closely with my the Wilmington Area officer team over the last two weeks to plan out FFA week. I believe that we put together a really fun, productive and educational week together. After my conversation with Mrs. McKelvey, I realized next week would be the first time that the entire student organization would be together since before COVID-19, due to Wilmington not allowing club period since the pandemic began. 

That information really pushed me to give the student some autonomy over what they wanted to do next week. However, this made me think about the planning that I had already accomplished. I realized that I did not want students to go back into a project or specific content area after a week of FFA related activities, so I slowed down some content in certain classes and moved around content in other classes. The one thing that I am not stopping is the project based learning in the Building and Trades class, Luckily, I see all of the students in that class duplicated throughout the day, so they will not miss any of the activities for FFA week. I am going to keep what we have planned for a surprise during next week's blog so stay tuned!

    Have a great week next week.

Microteaching Reflection

During my three days of microteaching, I learned some things that I think may be useful to me. The first thing that I learned is that I absolutely despise teaching over zoom. Many of the suggested improvements to my lessons would have been corrected by simply being in person. One of the worst parts about it is not having any connection with the students in the class. With them all being on one camera, I could not see their faces and it was very hard for me to even pick up their names. Engagement from the students was good for a zoom class, but the discussions were not able to be led very deeply because it was hard for me to read the students because I could not see body language of facial expressions. Another thing that I learned is that teaching over zoom, really makes me move through the content quicker than I originally plan for. During my first day, I taught what I had outlined in my first day lesson plan as well as half of the second days instruction. I am very happy that I had ev...
