‍ //**College Tip of the Week **//
Confused by college terminology? Check out this site to update your knowledge of college lingo. [|College Terminology] It's Time for the Image Scrimmage! In the coming weeks you will be introduced to new people and new places, and you will be starting your internship at your field site classroom. How you are received will be dependent on the first impression that you leave. In some cases your reputation will be based on the continuous image that you purvey.

During the next week and a half, you will be working on activities that prepare you to "put your best foot forward." They will include everything from how you dress to how you introduce yourself. You will learn to make a story come alive to your students as well as learn what "secrets" must not be shared about your classroom happenings.

Monday

 * Assembly with Dr. Linda Anderson, BISD Director of CTE and Principal of BCTAL
 * What is the Image Scrimmage?  Find out the opportunities you will have to make the best first impression possible!
