fashion 101

When you apply for National Board Certification, you have to video tape yourself teaching. Today, I'm supposed to be watching my tape and analyzing my methods. I am told to ask myself these questions: Did I capitalize on those "teachable moments"? Did I facilitate or lecture? Are my students highly engaged? How do I ensure fairness and equity? Is my lesson challenging enough?

Want to know the only question running through my mind as I watch the tape?

Why did I wear those shoes?

Which shoes were you wearing? Because if they were bad enough I think it justifies a shoe shopping trip. :)

Actually, they were my adorable red, strappy sandals. Appropriate for the beach, not so much the classroom. But my school is right on A1A, so I tend to get a little confused.
