Elementary Science Teaching schedule 2010 edit: 1/5/10

I. Responsibility: As this is a quasi-independent class, you will be doing much of your work on your own or in your group, you must behave in a way that demonstrates your higher level of independence. When you are not teaching, you should be in my room, Jo Morton’s room, or with permission, occasionally in the library, the elementary science lab, or the classroom that you are teaching in (off time is a great way to see the kids you teach in a different light.) There are three computers available in my classroom, so you shouldn’t need to be in the computer lab. And, there is no reason you should be in the commons, gym, Zestos, etc. that said, you may be doing work outside of class time so you can use class time to occasionally do other school work, etc.
