Finally I feel like I can start to take a breath. :) I'm nearing page 100 on my work sample, but as of this weekend I finished writing all of my lesson plans and was able to choose my action research topic to begin working on until I graduate. I'll be researching how and if the use of goal-setting conferences and weekly teacher/student accountability can improve the intrinsic motivation of middle school students.
With my science lesson topic chosen, my social studies lesson topic chosen, my work sample nearly finished and my action research topic chosen, I'm feeling pretty good about the work load I have left. It's still a lot, but with a lot more focus and resources to help me get where I need to be.
Oh, and I'm officially studying abroad in Vienna in May!!! :D That was by far the best news of today! I will be teaching at an International school, and leading my students on a service learning project in the city of Vienna during my time there. We'll also get to visit Prague and Salzburg while we're on the trip. :) I can't wait!! We leave the day after graduation. Talk about a busy season.
