Friday July 30 9 am- 3:50pm
Agenda: Classroom management, break, Former Volunteer Panel I, lunch, Panel II, A get together scheduled for 5-7pm at Hostel Internacional.
Most of the training centered on classroom management. Activities were incorporated to allow for discussing possible scenarios.
More discussions about class management involved the former volunteers with tales of their experiences.
We ended a bit early in order to walk and prepare for the get together at the Hostel because we were going to have a visitor from the Government Administration meet us. Sure enough the new Director, Ms. Isabel Gonzalez (just one week in office since the president's cabinet members changed after the elections in March) arrived with other administrative staff from the EOD program.
I was beat after last nite and the rest of the week, I'm not going anywhere except to bed. Goodnite all...
What did I learn today?
Class management can be dealt in conjuction with the host teacher. However, by having your own classroom you'll have to come up with a system to assist you in mangement.
I already know I would like to follow the positive behavior modification model. I believe we are here to show our students that English learning is a positive in their lives.
