The most valuable aspect of week twelve was spending three days at the FBLA conference in Hershey. I was absolutely amazed by it, it was bigger than I ever expected and it was run mostly by students. This conference allowed me to socialize with other teachers and get a break from the classroom. The first test I was supposed to proctor was desktop publishing, however, the chief administrator and vice administrator did not show up and I basically volunteered to be the chief administrator and run the test. It was a shock to me at first but I just went with it, it worked out well, there were no problems with the test and I had the chance to do it. When you see me in class I have a new name, it’s not Rich, and I would prefer you to call me Chief.
There really wasn’t an aspect of the week that would change, it went very smooth, the students were all working on projects and most had completed and from grading them they have done very well on them. This shows that I explained the project very well before I left for those three days and they had good understanding of what I expected from them. I’m not saying the week was perfect, but overall it went well and I really had no complaints or problems. I can always hope next week will be the same but there is always something I can improve on.

I have to agree with you Rich. It was amazing at FBLA to see how big an event it is and much of it is run by teachers and students, which is great. Glad to here you enjoyed it as well and that everything ran well in your class. Hope you have a great week 13 Chief!
ReplyDeleteHey Chief. It was amazing seeing everything run smoothly at the FLBA conference. As with you, I was amazed how big the event was and how professional the students were. Glad the rest of you week went well in the classroom, I'm sure a lot of that was attributed to you giving your substitute teacher good lesson plans. Have a good week Chief.

ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the FBLA conference was such a great experience for you as well. I would have to say the same, except for the "living arrangements" while I was down there. As you all know, sleeping on chairs and risking brushing toes with one of my students while sleeping is NOT exactly desirable (haha). Aside from that, I also learned very much, and was able to make some great contacts that I'm hoping will benefit me in the future.
We're on the home stretch though Chiefie! Keep up the good work.
