One week to go, teaching about peer feedback in students mid term reflections and then passion projects and fun on the last day. That’s my plan going into the week, might have to adapt.

I applied to be a mentor of teacher mentors. It’s a part time thing. We shall see what the cards hold. The job expectations are similar to what I’ve already done. I built a teacher-student mentor program from scratch. But I did that all for free. This job actually has a stipend.

Who’s can give me a strategy or two for writing? My science students write responses that have nothing to do with question and/or zero clarity bc they don’t give specific evidence to support writing. Can anyone help?
