MAP DAYS: ANY SURPRISES? SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE?

MAP JOURNAL (What will FA look for?) All parts of Journal should now be completed as per page 26 of journal This was your opportunity to hone your observations skills in preparation for teaching block – on-going reflection “in and on” practice is key One-Two page Reflection due Dec. 11 or sooner to D2L – check rubric pg. 5 in Journal for details – use and cite references Hard copy with Daybook on Jan. 12, 2018

D2L Folder for #4398 - Review Review Assignments and folders – where to post info Week at a Glance for Week #1 – post as soon as you know what you will be teaching to help FAs schedule their visits (by Nov. 14 at latest) Week at a Glance for Weeks 2-4 – Post for the designated week(the Saturday before you teach) Hard copy in daybook – fill in what you did in other times adding reflections - Post as “Week at a Glance Nov. 13”) If changes to times email FA
