Developing a school improvement plan was not the easiest take at my current school.  Reviewing the data and analyzing the data was a tedious task, and it took a lot of time and research.  I had to pull the latest data from the Virginia Department of Education.  I had to review the federal accountability resultsContinue reading “No School Improvement!!”

The assistant principal has allowed me to handle discipline problems in the school.  Under her leadership, we discussed behavioral issues with this particular student.  The student actually choked another student knocking him unconscious because he hit him.  I talked to the student, and he really didn’t understand to what degree he injured the student.  HeContinue reading “Discipline: A Day with Ms. Torian”

Working with the students in Mind Games was a good experience.  It was a interesting to see young minds engaged in solving problems and working together as a team.  The students were fun.  The principal of the school was the Mind Games coach.  She worked very hard with the students and provided yummy snacks for them to munchContinue reading “Mind Games”

It was the end of the day.  I did a walk through today in a Language Arts lesson.   It was very interesting to be on the “other side.”  The teacher was nervous and kept “shu-cing”  her class repeatedly.  I did not know if that was normal or if she was nervous. I looked at her at theContinue reading “Nervous Teachers”

I had the privilege to attend a PTA meeting at Chuckie Cheese.  I listened and observed  during the meeting.  The committee met on various activities happening for the reminder of the school year.  I enjoyed seeing various programs and activities being implemented at the school.  The staff was excited and on board with the upcoming activities. Continue reading “PTA Night”

Tonight I experience Parent-Teacher conferences on the administration side.  I did a walk through of the building to see the teachers and parents having conferences.  Walking through the building gave me insight to see how many parents came out to have a conference with the teachers.  I would not do anything differently.  I would provideContinue reading “Parent-Teacher Conference”

I have reviewed students data (the bubble students) to see who should attend extended day. The students were chosen based on the scores ranging from 60-75 on the benchmark assessments.  It is very important to analyze the data of all the grades to see where the need is for improvement.  I would make the marginContinue reading “Data Review”

I also have lunch duty.  I can actually say this is my least favorite assignment.  Students are loud and at first walking all over the cafeteria; I quickly changed that!  I monitor Kindergarteners and 1st graders during my lunch duty.  Once the kindergartners are finished eating, they put their heads down.  This experience helped me realizeContinue reading “Lunch Duty”

This year I started doing morning duty.  I stand by the cafeteria door to make sure students go to breakfast or the auditorium.  Students come into the building wide open, making a lot of noise and being disrespectful.  Once the students see me, they calm down.  I also get a lot of hugs!  And I gaveContinue reading “Morning Duty”
