Man, I'm slipping. Between the Differentiated Instruction classwork and stuff starting up at AHS, seems like I'm always scrambling to catch up. Got a start on our Remote Sensing work for the AHS Science Olympiad team, studying maps, and I've had my first mentor meeting. Looks like I'll be helping with a lot of college applications this fall. ;-) Which is good.

The good news is that for our CIMA II (Classroom Instruction, Management and Assessment, I think) class which starts on Saturday, we just have to make sure we've reviewed some of the things we went over in CIMA I. When I originally found out on Monday that we had to read 4 chapters by Saturday ON TOP of this thing we're doing for DI, I was not a happy camper. But happily, they're chapters we've already gone over. I do need to e-mail a couple of teacher-friends for example formative assessments, though (yes, a huge part of this is a new vocabulary of buzz words)

So now all I have to do for Friday's DI class is: 1)finish the lesson plan; 2) find the attachments I want to include; 2) pull together the presentation slides; 4) read the three technical papers for discussion. Non-trivial. Blah.
