Regarding my lesson, I know that it's fine it wasn't perfect. It just bothers me that I had it as good as it was going to get, and then when I was in the classroom I couldn't remember anything.
And coincidentally, I do take notes during classes I observe doctumenting good and bad incidents; our fieldwork assignments prompt us to talk about those experiences and how affective the teachers we observed were. It's also just a total mindfuck going from observing at the Orange school district (brand new building, low class numbers, affluence, etc. My cooperating teacher there was incredible, and I saw in her everything I've been told is effective by my education professors) to pretty much the exact opposite at the Cleveland school. And I know that my teacher at the Cleveland school has been doing it for a while, but it bothers me that she does so many blatantly terrible things with her students. I understand that some of my aspirations may be idealistic and that it's hard to be perfect and remember all the tricks and help every child to achieve all the time, but I think it's insane that she doesn't even appear to be trying to help her students achieve at all. Ugh... anyway. I just got home from work; I'm off to take a nap.
