Campus-Supervised Internship
Activities – Reflection:
When I
first started the program and saw how many hours we needed to complete for our
internship, I thought it was going to be really difficult to accumulate 150
hours. As I look back over the list of
tasks I have completed or am in the process of completing, I have well over 75
hours. My site supervisor is not my
principal. I am actually working with
our district’s Special Programs Director.
She is the current CTE Director for our district as well, so most of my
hours deal with assisting her or leading CTE monthly meetings. Part of my assignment from her is to develop
an online course catalog and course sequences for our district. I am in the process of putting together an
advisory board for our CTE department. I
am serving on the district’s technology committee. We are developing a new Technology Use Policy
for the district that will take into account the new iPads that teachers and
students will have access to in the fall.
Other assignments have included coordinating and budgeting prom,
attending a school board meeting, working a job fair at Sam Houston State
University, observing and discussing observations with other teachers, and
working with the technology and curriculum directors in developing classes for
our July in-service meetings. Working with
these three directors helps me begin to create the path I want to take when
finished with this program.
I have
enjoyed doing school work that is not in the classroom specifically directed at
students. I look forward to more
opportunities in the fall and spring of the upcoming school year.
Action Research Project Update and
Reflection:
My action research project
is off to a slow start. I am also going to
have to tweak some things due to CScope changes. According to the timeline I set for myself, I
should have started preliminary work at the end of April and beginning of
May. However, due to testing, UIL, Prom
(which takes a lot more work than you would think), and breaking my leg, I got
very little done. I missed a week of
school with the broken leg, and after that it was time for end of year
procedures. I am going to revamp my
project and regroup with the intention of starting fresh in August. One thing I have done on my project is look
at state test scores for CTE students; however, I have not done the analysis I
should have done. I know that the action
research project I have proposed could benefit the students at the high school
so I will continue to work and research to make that happen.
