AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
The back to school ads have begun. I only have a few short weeks to get ready!
I have lots of work to finish for my Pitt classes! And I have lots of work to do to get ready for school! And I didn't succeed in those summer fitness goals! AAAAAA!
I finally have started working on the curriculum revisions for my American Literature and Composition course. My co-teaching partner, Tom, and I are focusing on differentiated instruction this year. We want to make the course accessible and rigorous for learners of all ability levels.
I'm looking forward to working with our school librarian and media specialist, Christy, to improve the research component of the course. I want to incorporate book talks for the two new outside reading selections, increase training on the evaluation of websites and databases and focus on teaching research as a process.
As my supervisor says, education is one of the few professions that offer a clean start every new school year. Like Anne Shirley's mentor, Miss Stacey, told Anne in the LM Montgomery books, "Tomorrow is always fresh, with no mistakes in it!"
