Practicum Plan

I think that the practicum plan had very good intentions. It was very useful to organize everything and see what was due for what classes and when. However, too much emphasis was put on listing our goals, re-listing our goals, and re-listing them again. This was suppose to be something to help us but it ended up being a process of revising instead of concentrating on what we should be doing in the actual classroom. It was also hard to determine when we would teach lessons because not all teachers have their lesson plans done for the entire semester; especially with snow days and unexpected interruptions.
However, I really, really liked the idea of a practicum plan. It was an excellent way for us to be prepared and know exactly everything that we had to complete for that semester for each class. I think that this semester it really helped me to outline everything that needed to be done so that I could gather all my materials needed for each lesson (technology, etc.)
