4d: Chaperone Trip to Saylor Grove

4b/c: Infinite Campus Upto Date
Infinite Campus, the District's gradebook software, is kept up to date. Occasionally, I will go in and create or grade assignments and surprise my Mentor Teacher at how prompt I was.
4c: Parent Teacher Conferences
Not only was I present for parent-teacher conferences, I lead some of them. I used that opportunity to ask that the parents or guardians of higher-performing students become peer tutors in the science department's tutoring program. Unprompted, I exported sets of student names for each period and made space for notes for before and after conferences were held. This demonstrated to parents how seriously I took meeting with them, as well as created a record of things to follow up anout for me later on.

Successfully navigated two lockdowns (one real and one drill), 3 fire drills, and adhered to the rest of the school handbook and safety policies. Notes take on school handbook before starting on day one.
4d/f:Peer Observation Program
I participated in the Science Department's Peer Observation program. I invited the other physics teacher we share a room with, as well as the Science Department Chair. They were both impressed with my progress. I received many compliments from them and other staff. On one occasion, one peer said "you are one of the better ones", which was high praise coming from them.
