The power of my helpful hubby. On top of the fact that he is mr. mom the minute he gets home and cleans nappies while listening to elvis costello, he also shows me practical ways to deal with students, interview questions, school politics, lesson plans, etc. I guess I have an advantage because I have a few years of teaching and I have E's ideas on how to deal with students, portfolios, evaluations, job search (can't go to his district, it's just too far). When I ask him for his opinion on articles we read, he can't help me. It's just not practical stuff. He is not a theoretist, and neither will I be when I start working in a district.
So, now I have to get my icap done and just noticed a similarity. Everything addressed in the TPEs is what our future administrators will use in their formal and informal observations of us. When he showed me his evaluation form that the state mandates administrators to use when they evaluate teachers, it looks almost like the TPEs!~!!!!!!!
What a sigh of relief!!!! AT LAST, the stuff we are doing in our credential program ACTUALLY MESHES WITH WHAT WE WILL BE DOING IN OUR JOBS.
