Hi Jeremy,  We are coaching partners for this second session. It is new to me, so if you have a plan I'm good with that, I'm sure. What format is best for you? I don't care what we use!

I prefer email, but if you'd rather use something else, I'm ok with that as well.  I'm not sure exactly what we are supposed to accomplish in our preconference so I think we will just wing it.  Who is your mentee this round?

Who is your mentee this round?  I was winging that one, too!  I will be working with a middle school band director slash add in a class of 5th graders in an elective rotational setting. She wants to explore careers and money with them.   and you?

The band director/counselor turned 5th grade teacher that I am working with is Margie. The integrated lesson she would like to design will be 3-5 days in the computer lab. She wants the kids to explore a possible career option, learn about training requirements, and begin to set a few goals. She knows they are young for this exercise, but feels the exposure is important. She discussed that the boys want to be athletes and the girls want to be famous--so she would like the kids to begin to look around them at what their family members do for a living, decide where they may want to live (city/country) and she even suggests they think about if they want kids and how many kids they want to raise.  I think she is trying to get their feet firmly on the ground before the hormones start.... :) On a final note, she found a website that explores what it costs to raise a child, so that is part of their study.   What is your scenario?

First, thank you for being the perfect partner!  My scenario is:  I am working with a 7th grade 6th year math teacher in Mansfield, she is also a Student Council sponsor.  She can be a bit ADD as can I so it makes for interesting conversation.  She wants to do a lab as well.  We haven't narrowed down the subject yet, but we will be meeting again today.  Her main concern is behavior, I don't feel this is the biggest issue but we will work with it.  Working math into a computer lab effectively has always been a struggle so I am hoping we can come up with something that works really well. Have fun with Dreamweaver.  As for tips, I might be able to offer some, I'll see what I can come up with.  I have some sites that might be helpful for those students are color challenged.  I'll send those to you.  I am transitioning from GoLive to Dreamweaver right now.  Seeing as Adobe dropped GoLive for Dreamweaver I don't have much choice.  I don't have any Dreamweaver tips yet but I'll develop some.  I have to admit, I'm jealous.  I hope you have a great time and I may be the one asking for tips.

Change of scenario:  I will be doing the inservice style "teaching" on teacher website design.  I will mentor someone from my high school through the process of Effective Teacher Website Design.

Sandy replies: I will add this to our notes. I wish you would mentor me on "effective" teacher website design. Key word: effective. You are certainly an asset to your school --and a great coaching buddy.
