Blog 4: Interview Preparation
Content:
1. Who do you plan to interview? Why?
- I plan to interview a 1st grade teacher (not my mentor). I'm doing this so I can get different viewpoints on how adults deal with children and what it is she has to teach them.
2. You have to ask 5 questions. What additional questions do you plan to ask? Ask open-ended questions.
1.) Tell me about your students. What are some problems that you have faced when teaching the students and how do you overcome those problems?
2.) When did you decide to become a teacher and why?
3.) What is a lesson plan you are most proud of and why?
4.) As a teacher would you be responsible to deal with psychological problems concerning the student(s)? Give me an example of how you would handle a peer conflict.
5.) Describe how your academic training and work related experiences qualified you for a teaching position.
Additional Questions:
- Is your outside life affected in some way by your career path as an educator? If so how?
- Exactly how much should a teacher bond with their students? Why?

Blog 3: Topic Choice and Semester 1 ESLR Goals
Content (Directions): Answer the following 2 questions.
As an I-Poly Citizen I plan to use my community service hours and mentorship hours effectively. My knowledge would be applied to any service I would be performing. I have been involved with a lot of community service, I would like to say that I currently have more than 200 hours of service all in a variety of locations.I am good at being polite so when it comes to respecting I would know how to behave towards others. Although I don't have much problem with this but I will try my best to turn in everything on time. Getting along with the I-Poly community is one of the things I would like to work on, especially working together with my House when it comes to competitions.
When it comes to being an Effective Learner, I want to be more knowledgeable. For example, constantly getting good marks on exams and assignments. My goal this year is to get Proficient in all of my courses. Time this year is very valuable, every minute counts and there is no time for sudden distractions.
As an Effective User of Technology checking my blog everyday is an important part of senior year, because if I miss something then that's when things start going downhill. I also check my email almost everyday as it is also essential to my senior year. Like if I were to get an email from the Senior Class President because I had to bring something for my house for a competition between houses, if I didn't check it then my house would lose a point etc. I would like to learn how to use technology more as to presentations, not just old fashion powerpoints or prezi's, but other creative things.
As an Effective Communicator I am good at listening and respecting others. I respect my peers and I hope they feel the same that way we can all collaborate as a whole without any problems. My listening skills were always good but I don't just want them to be good, I want them to be great. Though one of the things I do want to do is to verbally communicate better. When doing summer mentorship I learned how to communicate with children in various ways but I would like to communicate better with adults.
