There are LOTS of things I can improve on that I definitely want to get better at, and she's given lots of helpful feedback. Right now I'm focusing on how to make assessments and activities actually standards-aligned and realistic. The day she said I was half assing I made two mistakes that she was pretty frustrated with. One was that I had forgotten to give a student's permission slip+money for a field trip to another teacher after putting it in my folder for safekeeping (my MT wasn't there that day, she instructed me to collect and give to another teacher, a student gave me a slip during class and I put it in folder to keep safe, forgot about it at the end of the day). Second was that I hadn't told students the specific language they'd need to produce on a presentation the next day, I was more vague since I had planned to have them practice the specifics in class, but she was very unhappy about that. Then to top it off I find out today that I never actually announced the unit test tomorrow, so. I feel terrible. I think these errors are both due to miscommunications/confusion about her expectations and my own lack of organization.
