What I seek in a cooperating center?

  1. A diverse program with more than one type of Ag class. 
    1. Since I come from a purely Vet Assisting program, I would like to experience a program that offers more than one type of Ag class. 
  2. A program with an active FFA Chapter 
    1. I would like to experience a program that has a very active and successful FFA program. I come from a program that faced a lot of challenges so I would like to see what it takes for an FFA chapter to reach its full potential. 
  3. A program that encourages students to participate in CDE's
    1. This is really important to me as I never participated in CDE's in high school. I would really like to see what it takes to prepare students for these competitions. 
  4. A program that has members who show livestock as their SAE.
    1. One of my favorite things in high school and one of the reasons I decided to become an Ag teacher was showing pigs. However, because I come from a very suburban area I never had any experiences with other species. I would love to be pushed even more out of my comfort zone by seeing what it takes to show other species.

In order to comply with social distancing, I decided it would be best to just go around the room and have each student introduce themselves. Except there is one twist, before each person goes I roll a dice and the number it lands on is the number of fun facts that they get to tell the class. I thought this would be a fun way to get to know each other with the excitement of never knowing what number you get. However, I think I may choose a different activity in the future as I think this one may take too much t...

Science Classroom Visit!

Image
  During the last week of student teaching, I had the wonderful opportunity to observe a science classroom during 3rd period. Here is what I observed from my visit! Class: Astronomy  Lesson Title: The Big Bang! Date: 4/19/2021 1) What were the objectives of the lesson? "Students will be able to explain the evidence that supports the big bang. 2) In your opinion, were the students interested in the lesson? Why or why not? Yes! They were 100% interested in learning about the big bang because the teacher had them fully engaged in the material the whole time through the use of open discussion embedded in the lecture.  3) What teaching methods or behaviors were most affective in achieving the objectives? Guided notes + Worksheet, discussion, and powerpoint 4) In your opinion, was the teacher "giving away" information or facilitating learning? In my opinion the teacher facilitated learning. They asked questions and allowed students to answer. The teacher also did not just give...
