Settling In

I am now two weeks into my Instructional Technology practicum. It's beginning to seem less overwhelming.

I spent a good deal of time discussing my requirements with Mary D., my supervising media specialist. She's been so supportive about giving me resources to get started on the inventory, weeding and evaluation projects. I have begun conversing with other teachers about lesson ideas and collaboration scheduling. I have also begun brainstorming with Mary D. and my principal about staff development ideas. There are so many options, but I want to pick a topic that would be most beneficial for our whole staff. Some of the other girls in the practicum and I have been planning our date for our lesson observation. I'm anxious to get that settled.

Also, I need to schedule dates with my secondary site supervisors at the middle and high schools. So many things to do, but they're becoming more organized in my mind.


Book Fair is coming soon! I'm so excited!

A Pin-Sized Hole

I am officially one week into my final semester in my Master's Program.  This brings a wide variety of emotions.  A bit of stress and anxiety...  but coupled with an intense excitement.  I've enjoyed the program so much, I'm actually a little sad to be finished.  Okay, just a little.  I'm thrilled to be finished and work toward obtaining a position as a media specialist. 

I'll be doing my practicum at my current school, under Mrs. D. I know there's a ton of work to be accomplished in the next few months, but I'm up for the challenge. I can't wait to get started!

Even though it's tiny, I can definitely see the light at the end of the tunnel already!
