Resources To Start Off Your Week 47

As always, I will be adding this to my lists of resources under the Fav Websites heading. One of the classes we have to take is, Teaching Aboriginal Studies, and our final project was to create a Curriculum & Resource Portfolio displaying resources that could be used to incorporate Aboriginal perspective. Luckily for me, my partner was also my… Read More
Professional Portfolio Feedback

As promised, here are some of the comments & suggestions that I got: 1 ) Good use of pictures – People liked that I had photos in addition to text so they could really visualize what I was trying to get… Read More
More on Professional Portfolios
Tomorrow in my Science Methods class we are having a “portfolio fair” in which we take turns sharing our professional teaching portfolios. We are able to see what other people have included, get formatting/organization ideas, critique for errors, etc. In case you missed it the first time, I actually took a very big step (for me) and decided to share my portfolio to the world via a blog post last month. While I can’t say I received any constructive criticism, I did receive a lot of kind and supportive comments so that must mean I am doing something… Read More
Resources To Start Off Your Week 46
Happy December! It is officially the holidays and I couldn’t be more excited! We are done school for the semester next Thursday and it is definitely a good feeling.

Of course, there will also be teaching interviews somewhere in that time frame as well. So many exciting things! 🙂 In the meantime, here are some neat resources I found this week. As always, I will be adding them to my lists of… Read More
December Currently!
Tis’ the season! I love the holidays but they seem to go by so quickly!! There is always so much family to see, Christmas parties, get-togethers with friends, etc. We only have 8 classes left until we are officially on holidays and only 29 days until our wedding social! I am told that wedding socials are a local event that other people don’t necessarily celebrate so if you are not sure what a wedding social is, it is a public dance hosted by the bride and groom that is used as a fundraiser to raise money for a… Read More
