As Host

This year, I hosted three very different rounds, one involving teaching grammar in context, one involving a “Hot Seat” activity, and the last involving acting A Streetcar Named Desire.

For my reflections, please see the following PDFs:

See my Rounds Sheet section for more details.

As Participant

Seeing others teach was a very valuable experience in seeing what tools fellow MATs utilized in their classroom management and teaching. I visited a variety of classrooms, including science and history secondary rooms as well as elementary teachers. Everyone taught me something, welcomed me into their space, and shared their ideas.
