What Makes a Future Teacher or Leader?
It's time for a discussion about the expectations for the remainder of the year.

Yr I - Let's think about it!
Everyone: Aristotle, Plato, Socrates -- Who were they? What do they have in common? These ancient philosophers contemplated the answers to fundamental questions and tried to explain them through the use of rational arguments, or philosophies. Today you will play the role of a modern day philosopher. You will use your personal thoughts and ideas, based on some introspective reflection, to articulate your philosophy of education.

Follow the guidelines on the attached document to create yours. You will post this on your wiki when you have completed it. You will need to print a hard copy to turn in to me.

What will you need for your lesson - A Plan:
 * When you become a teacher, your school may require you to use a specific form.
 * In Birdville ISD, Eduphoria is the form that is used by teachers.
 * In Education and Training, we use a more complete form that includes parts of the plan that a teacher has to continuously think about during the planning process. (If you plan to compete in the TAFE/FEA Lesson Plan competition next year, you will include these components in your plan.
 * Objectives are prescribed in the state of Texas throughout the TEKS. [|Texas Education Agency] (You bookmarked them previously.)
 * Remember to use the resources on your Web Tools page and on the Lesson Plan Resources in the navigation pane on the left.
