I got evaluated by my supervisor for midterms for being a student teacher. I got evaluated on a scoring system of 1-4. Number one means you are horrible and number 4 meaning an outstanding teacher. I got all (4's) and two (3)'s so basically I rocked my supervisor's world. I got about as good of a evaluation as you can get.
That is my latest news...

music recording deal

I just got an email sent to my myspace account. There is a company called quickstar productions who wants me on their next emo (genre of music) compilation cd. The company told me that they liked my song, "Love never Dies." They told me that I would get 50% of profits on people who buy my song on itunes. They want me to pay 165 bucks for 50 cd's that I would get that I could sell at whatever price I wanted. They told me if I sold the cd's for 8 bucks i could make 400 bucks. I am excited about this deal and I am going to research this company out and make sure they are legit. I did listen to some previous compilation cd's on iTunes. The compilation cd they want me on is called 11 hour confessions. I think this would be a cool opportunity to get my music out. This cd would be advertised by different artists and it would be passed out and sold at concerts. It would even be put on various radio stations throughout the world. This deal may be a sham but I am going to look into you. Peace out

I just finished my teacher work sample. The work sample includes detailed lesson plans for 7 days. The work sample is the one big assignment for student teaching. I can now coast for a little bit. that is the latest update into my life. peace out

I got my first evaluation from my supervisor. I got an average score of 2.5 out of 4. A score of 2 is average, 3 is above average, and 4 means you are an outstanding teacher. I am fairly happy with my score. My supervisor had high expectations. I dont really care if I am an outstanding teacher. I just want to pass student teaching with semi good scores. This whole experience has taught me that I need more schooling so I dont have to live the life of a teacher. I spend my evenings grading papers and preparing lesson plans. I want a job where I work 8 hours a day and that is all the work I put in for that day. I have no time right now for anything but being a teacher.

Peace out sincerely, Rees

my new student teaching life

Student teaching: So you might be curious to know about my student teaching. Right now I am observing 3 health classes and one history class. I will be teaching one health class and my only history class on Monday. I will be progressively adding more health classes throughout the weeks until I am teaching all day. I have some concerns for teaching history. My history class I am going to teach is out of control. My history teacher is not my favorite person. I have my work cut out for me as a student teacher. I am a little stressed as of right now. I am going to be coming up with 2 lesson plans a day until April. I like teaching my major health. I am going to do my best to see if there is any way I can get out of teaching my minor. I will be extremely busy for the next couple of months.
Sincerely, Rees Riddoch
