[Mathmethods 0084] Methods Placement Info
by Naomi Weinman 11 Sep '17

11 Sep '17

Dear Math Methods Students, Attached please find an Excel file with your student teaching placement information. Observations for the Methods course will be completed at the same school. The first worksheet is arranged by last name of student and indicates your placement. The second worksheet, labeled "Contacts," indicates the name of the person and contact information for each school. If the contact person indicated a preference for phone or email contact, it is listed. Please contact the person to arrange your observation schedule. Remember to be professional in all communication (email or telephone) and pay attention to grammar and spelling. Arrange to observe once per week for 3 periods. You should observe for two periods and be of service to the department for the third period. It is good to observe different teachers each period and/or each week so that you observe different teaching styles. However, the schedule is at the discretion of the math chair. Provide the day of the week and the hours of the day that you are available and your contact information. Make it clear that you are to observe this semester prior to STUDENT TEACHING next semester (and that you are not a lower classman arranging for random observation hours). You can mention that they should have received an email from Mrs. Weinman with your name. Please note that the math chair people are extremely busy with student needs at the start of the semester. You are the least of their concerns so do not be upset if you do not receive a reply immediately. Be politely persistent if necessary. If you send an email and do not receive a timely reply, follow with a phone call and mention that all your contact information is in the email. Have a wonderful semester!

[Mathmethods 0077] Methods reminders
by Naomi Weinman 26 Sep '16

26 Sep '16

Dear Methods Students, I hope you have all reached the contacts at the schools to arrange for your observations for the Methods course. Please remember to put your best foot forward this semester. Schools have agreed to allow you to student teach but are not obligated to do so. If concerns arise this semester, your placement could be changed or terminated. Schools have already contacted me this semester with concerns about how an email from a QC student was written, how a student was dressed, and how a student spoke upon meeting the chairperson. As Dr. Curcio has often said, this semester (and next) is one long job interview for you. Speak and dress professionally, be very mindful of your interactions with students, and clean up your social media postings and settings. Please let me know if you have any questions. Sincerely, Naomi Weinman TIME2000/SEYS Queens College, CUNY | 65-30 Kissena Blvd | Queens, NY |11367 (w) 718-997-5377 | (f) 718 997 5173 TIME2000.qc.cuny.edu
