November 3 Reflection

Today is a very interesting day. My FA, Susan, drop by Point Grey s.s. to resolve some administration situations. I have a new math SA now, which I am very happy about.

I met up with my SA and the two of us talked for awhile about my lesson planning and what content materials her students are learning for each class. I realized that even though she is teaching multiple of the same classes every week, the class atmosphere, environment, structure and the students are very different. For instance, the morning Gr. 11 morning class is very different from her Gr. 11 afternoon class.

Today, I also had the chance to interview the librarians at the school. I never knew they had so much responsibilities to do at the back-end. While I was interviewing them, I never realized how difficult it is to recieve tech support (i.e. fixing computers, software programs, etc.) at this school. They openly admitted to me that tech support is very low, and they needed more staff who can help them resolve any computer/programming issues. The staffs aren't trained on how to resolve tech issues because most of the problems are fixed by and at the central school board. So most of the time when something is down, they have to wait until the school board tech staff fix the issues remotely on their end - so it's really a waiting game.
