Yeah, that was my lesson plan for yesterday and so (laughter).
It changed a bit over and you can read most of it uh so, it's changed from that structure to an order of events.
So in terms of how did I get here?
Um, and I think, you know, when your are a student teacher, if folks have been student teaching,
and you have to structure your lesson plans how your supervisor wants to see your lessons and where you are going with things.
Some districts do require that you submit like maybe a weeks worth of...did you have that experience when you taught?
Yeah un, huh.
Actually can you say what that was like because I have never had to submit like my lesson plan, like a week in advance or anything like that so.
Yeah, uh, so it was like a template kind of for the week, uh you would fill out and submit and you would get feedback on. And it was broken down into kind of objectives for each day.
Um, what were like the, so my school, the one in Boston where I did it was like uh exit tickets, tickets to leave, so we had to put like the questions that were on there on your lesson plan, then kind of your agenda and your breakdown of like questions you were going to ask kind of running through what you were saying about pretty detailed.
Yup Yup for that one.
Yeah, very detailed.  Then you would get feedback like on it and then.
Wow, who gives you feedback?
Your, my principle.
Wow, they have to approve everybody's?
Yeah, I mean it was a relatively small school, but it was like, four, it was like 15 teachers total.  So, um yeah, it is still a lot.
A lot of work.
Yeah, I mean it was, you know, I think the feedback was tailored to who needed it.
I mean at first there was a pretty equal.
Was it on topics? Or was it mostly structural?
Sorry, say that one more time?
Like, would they veto certain topics like if you were going to cover, you know...
Oh
It wasn't really it wasn't really vetoing kind of feedback, it was like this seems like to much or kind of questions they had.
So more logistical feedback?
Uh? Logistical but also content feedback.  Like, you know like how are these questions that your asking setting them up to achieve the objective that you set up?
How much background did the principal have in your specific subject area?
She taught for a long time, I don't know exactly how to answer that. I think she had a good grasp on what needed to be taught at the middle school level. 
Like not at good as probably the teachers specifically, but definitely with like math and ELA and history and science.
And it was valuable feedback for you?
Yeah and like a said at the beginning of the year everyone would get it and then it would be kind of tailored to if some people needed more feedback.
Like if lesson planning was an area that they needed more help in then they would get more of it and if less.  If there were maybe things you needed to work on more than lesson planning you would still turn them in but it wouldn't be as like.
So could they like phase out if you were doing fine, your lesson plans were..
Yeah it would basically just be like submitting to make sure they were done but not being like there wouldn't be as extensive of feedback.
Yeah it sounds like a lot of details.
It is, it was.
Would they be like a week ahead of time like in advance?
Right yeah, exactly.
Wow, alright.
Yeah so i never had to
