Week of Nov. 29 - Dec. 3, 2010 - Assignments

A few things:

In class today, we're going to visit about your final research paper. I have drafts but sent an email, asking if you have a more recent version before I start working on it, and only heard back from one of you. I didn't want to start proofing the draft I have of yours if there is a more current version out there. If there isn't, and the one I have is your latest version, I just needed to know. We will talk about this in class today.

We're also going to re-visit the role of the paraprofessional. It is important that you are aware of the facets of this invaluable partnership since you will be responsible for supervising paras in the future.

And, finally, we'll touch bases about the Simle Middle School practicum. I've decided to excuse you 6 hours for "no school days". This would be for the instructional conference, parent/teacher conferences and then, of course, the Thanksgiving holiday. I don't want you going too much further into December so we'll take a look at your hours.
