Here are the question responses from today's seminar. Be sure to check the blog from 9/12 and answer the question listed there.
1) As mentioned earlier, you will do your portfolio in methods. You really don't have to worry about it until then except for keeping documents you might want to include (MCE teaching philosophy??). You will be guided through the process in methods so don't stew about it now.
2) Yes, you are to have the papers in the green folder filled out when you give it to your cooperating teacher next Monday morning.
3) Are you ready for this one???? If you take students to the bathroom (4,5, maybe 6; NOT 7 -9) and there is a problem situation, try to get another person of the appropriate sex to go in . If that's not possible, knock loudly on the door and loudly let them know that you're coming in on the count of 5. Then back in and continue to let them know you're coming. If they're not running out by that time, call for help.
4) I do have a couple examples of portfolios. I'll try to remember to bring them to class and let you have a quick look.
Have a great week. I'll see you Friday.

What should be in our portfolios by now... I'm a sophomore. I think the only thing I have in the e-portfolio is my EDTL technology ATC.
So I know middle school children can be hard to handle sometimes. I'm afraid I won't be able to discipline them or have them take me serious. Do you have any suggestions on how to get the students respect?
Hi gals,
Erica - Did you read my post Sept. 15th post? Number 1 addresses your question.
Julie - We'll be doing an entire class on management and discussing a lot all the way through. If you still have questions at the end, we'll deal with them then,ok?

I feel like I should be aware of this format already, but I am still confused about the whole setup of Methods. When I do take Methods in the near future, will that be the only class I have for that semester? Or will I have others as well? Just trying to figure out what I will need to devote my time to. Thanks.

I was wondering if we are allowed to go to our school more than once a week or for a longer time period than 3 hours?
Hi,
What you do your methods term depends on how you've handled your program. You will take BOTH of your content methods courses that term.
Matt - You are to go to your school once a week for the prescribed time or time that is convenient for both you and your coop.
