Thursday, January 26

Today has been the first real Thursday of the school year. After having so much to do in so little time, I wasn't as prepared for class as I should have been. I didn't have the power points for chapters 1 and 2 printed off, but thankfully Natalie did so we were able to look at them together. I really enjoyed discussing the No Child Left Behind act and high stakes testing. In all my years of high school I never understood, never really understood, what these things were or how they affected me as a student. Now I can see that so much more goes into testing than I ever imagined. Also, I see how important it is to have a full understanding of the system in order to effectively prepare my future students for the tests they will be subjected to.
