I put together a schedule for the mid-year case study student presentation.

Resident presents for 20 min on one case study student: family background, strengths and challenges, show work and discuss growth. After that all present will first ask clarifying questions and then discuss the findings and implications for further teaching.

Resident neds to bring 6 coies of presentation: a 1 page write-up of the salient points of the presentation and 3 - 5 pieces of work.

Resident will bring 6 copies of a 2 p. write-up on the second student with 3-5 pieces of work attached.

Please fill out the Oct form before the 3-way meeting. It needs to be in my mailbox 2 days before the meeting. If you misplaced the form see me for another one.

Residents will bring the PPA form to the meeting.

I will put a lead week rubric in everyone's mailbox. Use it as a conversation guide during or after lead week and bring it to the 3-way.

Please make sure you have a solid 60 min available for the 3-way mtg.

Time to schedule 3-way meetings. Mentors and residents please get back to me with date and time.

Residents should be taking on small daily tasks in the near future such as leading the Do Now or explaining one homework problem a day. Also grading pre-asessments and doing a student AND an item analysis would be a good idea. Residents should NOT at this point grade quizzes or tests or take attendance due to the legal issues involved. The resident can take on these tasks in a few months time.

1) please send your current email address to Susan Berglund and Hollee Freeman asap.
Hfreeman@bpe.org and Sberglund @bpe.org

2) Mentor meeting/orientation on Monday, Sept.14th. Residents will be there from 4-5:30 and mentors from 4-7. This is in lieu of the summer mentor training. Hollee is working on getting mentors grad credits again this year. BTR would like to offer child care during the mentor meeting if you have any ideas about how to do this, please send Hollee an email.

3) Resident Meeting Monday, Sept 14, 11-12:40 in room 240.

Substitute Teaching

Residents are not allowed to serve as paid substitute teachers in BPS.

However, as an in-kind service, Residents may assume teaching responsibilities for a Mentor teacher only when the Mentor is engaged in BTR-sponsored professional development activities including: BTR Mentor meetings, workshops, classroom/school visits, Selection Day, etc. Residents will not be compensated for assuming any classroom responsibilities while the Mentor is engaged in approved BTR professional development.
