PACT

PACT has started everyone. The Performance Assessment for California Teachers is under way. I taught 2 lessons of 3 last week and hope to finish up and Monday. This is indeed the most stressful portion of TEP. I should also be working on it right now, but I decided to give anyone who reads this an update.

Tensions are high amongst students in TEP. People are snapping at one another and if this continues, it will be a long time before March 26th comes. That is when this project is due.

To me the hardest part is the video taping. I think if i can get that done then make small steps in the long writing process, then I will be fine.

I planned out my lessons. All I have to do now is polish them up, fix spelling errors, and teach the last one.

I said this before, but in case you didn't get the message:

The next several weeks are going to be hard, and I will be super busy. So, if I do not respond to phone messages or requests, bear with me. I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Wish me luck!

Anonymity

I think I might try to make things as anonymous as possible so I can tell you all the crazy things that happen to me during this journey.

So, I will look through this and try to find names and replace them with other types of pronouns. This way you can get the entire reality that is my teaching life, be it good or bad.
