10 years teaching Chemistry Didn't follow Education track, got degree in Geology Worked in environmental consulting. One fall decided to start substitute teaching. Had nontraditional path – didn't go to public school Got hired after long-term subbing. Doesn't believe in teaching training as much. Got mentored by 30-year senior teacher. Learned course from him – and her current course is adapted from him He was passionate and she learned from him. Jim - mentor and dept head – taught same class. Sat in on his classes. Talked daily. Bridgette was 2 classes behind him, he coached her the whole way. Never felt discouraged always encouraging. | |
Lots of focus in teaching on systems and processes Jim was different – disorganized but tons of resources She has continued to use this course that she learned from Jim. Now she's teaching with a colleague Emily – creating a new course for the school together. Merging their material. Creating a new course. Moving towards a standards based – those are locked in – we set up the progression of the course. What topics in what order. What practice should there be.
