TAFE Recreation Event on Monday, January 18. Our chapter will attend the Lone Star Brahma game at the NYTEX Center across from Birdville HIgh School. The game begins at 2:00. This will help you earn your R in TRAFLES. The event is not mandatory.

(1) The student explores the teaching and training profession. The student is expected to:

 * (A) assess personal characteristics needed to work in the teaching and training profession;
 * (C) formulate a personal philosophy of education;

Year 1 - Juniors and Seniors
You will begin to formulate your philosophy of education / teaching. Your philosophy of education will probably change over time, but it is based on your beliefs about education. It should come from the heart. When it is completed, it should be saved as a PDF file and attached to your portfolio.

Begin by reading pp. 53 - 55 in //**TEACHING**//. This will give you an idea of what a philosophy of teaching might include.

Use this document to guide you when writing your philosophy. It is worth one daily grade and will become part of your electronic portfolio grade.



Here are some questions you can use to develop your Philosophy of Teaching

Here is a sample of a Philosophy of Education. It is written by Mrs. Stevens.

 * Be respectful of each other - get to the bus on time, don't make everyone wait on you!
 * Communicate!

Lesson Planning
(A) explain the role of the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) in planning and evaluating instruction; (C) explain the rationale and process of instructional planning; (D) describe principles and theories that impact instructional planning; (E) create clear short- and long-term learning objectives that are developmentally appropriate for students; and (F) demonstrate teacher planning to meet instructional goals.

It All Begins With the Plan
There are three essential components to teaching a lesson:
 * Planning the lesson
 * Executing the lesson with students[[image:sstevensbctal/lessonplans.gif align="right" caption="lessonplans.gif"]]
 * Assessing students to see if the concept has been learned

You will need to work closely with your mentor teacher to arrange a date to present your lesson in their classroom. Use the calendar on my office window to write your date. Do not schedule more than two lessons on one day. If you schedule more than one lesson on a day, it must be at the same site school.

We will be focusing on the planning process for the next few weeks.
 * When you become a teacher, your school may require you to use a specific form.
 * In Birdville ISD, we use Eduphoria. It is an online planning calendar.
 * Below is the lesson plan format used in Education and Training.
 * The components are commonly used in most plans. (Note: The forms are similar to those used in the TAFE or Educators Rising lesson plan competitions. Juniors - think about entering next year!)
 * TEKS are located on the [|Texas Education Agency] ( [|TEA]) website. Bookmark TEA on your toolbar.
 * This is the lesson plan template we will use in EAT this year.
