Jr. High Observation 2

I went to North Sanpete middle school in North Sanpete school district. I contacted Mr. O'dee Hansen the Principal and he set me up with the CTE/Buisness teacher Carey Ivory. I spent 2 hours with Carey Ivory. The firs hour was her prep hour and i was able to talk with her and find out some of her opinions of CTE today. Her main focus in the first part of the year is to teach the kids how to type. She felt that this is the bases for better computer skills. The district has completely removed this as a requirement so she has integrated it into her corse curriculum. I found her teaching methods refreshing. Mrs Ivory said she spends the first two weeks working on house keeping witch I love this idea. She feels that if she does this, the kids work better and she has less distractions. At one point the students were asked to get up and get something form their bags and almost all of the students got up and pushed in their chairs. She told me this is one the house keeping rules that she works on. It was obvious that it worked. I enjoyed my time with Carey and would love to spend more time observing her.
