MONDAY
== Mum's the Word! Confidentiality in the Classroom ==

Listen to guest speaker, Michele Bolin, BISD Diagnostician, share what can be discussed and what cannot when you are at your field site. In other words, she will explain the motto: //What Happens in Education and Training stays in Education and Training//. She will share tips about how you can handle sticky situations that you may encounter involving confidential information at your field site. You cannot go to your field site school until you obtain the necessary information from this presentation. If you are absent, make an appointment with your campus diagnostician to discuss rules surrounding confidentiality.

Students will learn from a BISD professional:

**Resume:** <span style="background-color: #ffff00; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 160%;">How do you look on paper? <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 160%;">One of the components used to secure a teaching position is a resume. It is brief overview of the skills and talents you possess plus a history of your involvement and employment. A resume is a "living" document that must be updated every time you receive an honor, award, or recognition, each time you get a new job, or any time you have something significant to report about your abilities.

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 160%;">Assignment:
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 160%;"> Prepare a resume that touts your abilities. You will be attaching this to your portfolio, so be sure to make it shine. You will need to update your resume regularly as the year goes on. Below is a sample that will help you see what to put on yours.

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 160%;">How to Make a Good Introduction:
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 160%;">Learn the proper procedure for introducing yourself to someone. Be sure to think about how you could extend the conversation with some light "talking points." Practice with a partner to see how well you do. You will be making a "real" introduction for a grade next week.

=<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 160%;">Introduction Poster for Your Site School: = <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 160%;">Make a good introduction to your field site class by presenting information that they want to know about you. Prepare a poster that includes the information below. You will be using your poster on your first visit to your field site.


 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 160%;">Your name and an appropriate picture of you
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 160%;">The high school you attend
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 160%;">Your activities in and out of high school
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 160%;">Your interests
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 160%;">Your favorite grade in school
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 160%;">A picture of you in the grade of your field site or your favorite grade - if available
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 160%;">You may include additional items, but keep the poster tasteful, professional, and uncluttered.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 160%;">The poster should be prepared using the computer to word process your materials. Then print and cut. Sloppy hand drawn letters or designs will not be acceptable. Neat workmanship is a must. Remember, this will give your field site teacher insight into the quality of work you do. It will also be shared with your new classroom of students, so make a good impression on them.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #008000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 31px;">FRIDAY
