I do not like uncontrolled variables that affect me (or my certificate). I do not want documents uploaded into The Platform if at all possible. It was my assumption that I would have my first 20 minute observation this past week, potentially Thursday, then Friday; I was not observed. However, during that time, I decided that one variable that could slip past was my Evaluator not looking into the cabinets were my lesson plans and evidence were located even though I had informed him/her where the materials were. To remedy that, I put both on the table where s/he would observe me (I did not have the lesson plans standing up like that; I did that for the picture.)
I also learned something about the teaching process, student interaction process, and the communication process in anticipation for my observation - as I had 12 class periods to anticipate being observed. I will post that information soon.
