Week 3 Post
Certified vs. Classified
This week we learned the definitions of classified and certified and how they fit into the school system. You thought about all the different people who are included in the school system. the firs part of this blog was to write down the people you classified as certified employees and the people you classified as classified employees.
The second part of this blog is where you are publishing your research. You were asked to pick a career and research that. You are to include all the categories from length of school to average salary.
The finally part of this blog is to include the information you learned about the career. Is this something you are still interested in pursuing for a career. Why or why not? Did you learn anything extra about the career that has swayed you either way? And include anything else you found interesting about the career.

My Memorable Teacher.
I have been in education a long time - as a student and as a teacher. There have been many people that have inspired me along the way. However my most memorable teacher is Coach Caporale. I met Coach Caporale my freshman year when I entered high school. I met him my first day of trying out for the basketball team - he was a little Italian man however his personality was larger than life. He wasn't exactly nice - he never really smiled, and made us work out harder than I ever had to in my entire life to the point that I almost thought I would pass out from exhaustion. He was strict, he was intense, and he made me work harder that I ever had to. The one thing I really remember about him were his saying. He would start and end practice with these quotes, some made sense, some had left me wondering what he meant. For example, the saying that is most memorable to me is "Don't be on time, BE EARLY". this is something that has stuck with me to this day - it is even in my classroom rules. You hear don't be late, be on time -- but this takes it one step further. This is something that is a small thing you can do but it can have huge affects. Usually when you think of a memorable teacher, you think of someone who was nice to you or really connected with you. He was not that person to me however I have learned life long lessons about how I want to love my life, how I want to choose excellence in my life - I know I can't be perfect how I can excel chasing perfection.
