Staff Development



While at Mount Vernon I went to a handful of staff developments where I mostly just sat and listened to the conversations being had because it was over their grading system that staff are still working on. I spoke once or twice with the content area group but that was a big goal of mine while I was there but I never had much input because I did not understand what they were talking about. Other than that we had daily team meetings where I would participate in conversation about students and put my input when we had some worries academically. 
While in this placement our first staff development is going to be Friday so I will see what I do there when we get to it! Other then that we are in our own little section of the school being in the little theatre so I haven't had a chance to meet with other staff and faculty really other then going over to Compass their alternative school to do a PLC with the other speech teacher.

I saw the impact that he had on my community and I wanted to make that kind of impact also by following in his and my uncles footsteps. I have 3 other teachers in my family  including my uncle, cousin and sister which is something that I have always been very proud of because of the impact I know we are making/going to make for students.  I hope to leave the legacy of being the teacher that made sure my students felt welcomed and knew that they can come to me for problems in school and if they need a listening ear. I want to have a welcoming environment for my students. I know I will need to have an open mindset going into the school year since I have not been in this position of full teaching like this and know that this is a different...
