We had a wonderful forum on Friday night (February 11) with about 70 teachers in attendance! Dr. TJ Lee of the NYC DOE shared concrete ideas on the challenges new teachers face in her presentation: Finding Your Place. Xueyang (Jessica) Gong spoke about her challenges as a new teacher at the Ross School, as well as projects and activities she is doing with her students.
One of the teachers in attendance asked the perfect question to lead in to the next section of our program. She said that she would like to talk to her colleagues at lunch, but doesn't really know what to talk to them about! Everyone is talking about the snow in New York this winter, so that's one place to start. We also prepared a Jeopardy game on American Pop Culture, a powerpoint which you can download and play at home (in slideshow mode). We haven't included the answers: why not ask your colleagues at work the answers to questions you don't know. That should get a conversation started!
If you saw the Grammy's last night, or even the pictures in the newspaper, there's more to talk about! Who entered the hall in an EGG?
