AVID Experts

You should not wait for school to tell you what to learn.  You should be a life-long learner, whether you are in school or not.  College is for the curious.  But pre-college schools don't let students pursue their curiosity, usually.  Now, you get the chance to pursue an area of study that you are curious about.  You will go as far as you can in becoming an expert in a field that you, not the school, choose.

What does it mean to be an expert?  Experts know almost everything there is to know about a field of study.Your first task is to choose what area you are interested in.  Click on the link below to view hundreds of fields of study.  To learn more about the ones that interest you, do a wiki search on them.  Good luck and have fun.  You must pick by Wednesday!

Help Me Become a Better Teacher

Would you please use the questions below to cut and paste and answer in the comments box?
1)  What do I need to improve on as a teacher?  Don't be shy or "nice"!  Let me have it.
2)  What do I do well?  What do I need to continue?
3)  Was there a project, assignment, or activity that stands out as excellent?  Describe it.
4)  How was the discipline in my class?  Was I fair?  Was the class under control or out of control?
5)  What great things that other teachers do should I do, too?
6)  Please rank me on a scale of one to ten, one being low ten being high, in a comparison of other teachers.
