The Three Principals!

The Three Administrators!

The week began with viewing videos from 3 different principals, Mr. Briseno, Mr. Chargois, and Mr. Lewis. They had interesting information to share. I did have issues with a statement from Mr. Briseno, “They [teachers] better know which of those kids are being successful on TAKS.” As a teacher I would not want to be put on the spot and have to remember everyone’s scores. Mr. Briseno’s statement made me feel that his teachers had to know all the data by heart and could spit out when needed. I really took offense.

Thursday was my first webinar with Dr. Jenkins and I truly enjoyed his session. He had such a positive and jovial manner. He was impressed with our ideas and supportive to students who needed the help. When I logged off, I went away with a smile and good feeling about this class. Thanks Dr. Jenkins!

I am having trouble deciding what to focus my research on. During the webinar, I found that I was not alone. Apparently several students are having problems also deciding from their 3 topics. It was also interesting reading about the range of topics being written. Next time I will make it a point to show up on time!
