School Observation/ Feedback from Principal
My principal came in two Friday's ago and did a short observation. She saw me reviewing with my students for a Grammar Test on Capitalization. I write a whole paragraph about me, a biography kind of, and it had capitalization errors throughout. I had the students come up and fix the errors before giving them the test.
Fast forward to today... I went to ask my P a question about our report cards. She told me the answer and then told me I do TOO MUCH review with the students. She said it is like I am giving them all the answers to the test. My P wants me to review the day before the test and then on the day of the test give them the test w/ little to no review.
I knew this was a problem and have already started to correct it... it just stinks to be called out on it

Married the love of my life on 1-21-12. Our princess arrived on 5-28-13.
Thanks Tara! I didn't really get in trouble, she's not mad at me or anything, just a friendly reminder I guess. But thanks!
Personally, I don't see a problem with this. I used to have teachers that did this. As long as you're not putting the same problem on the board as the quiz/test they still need to prove that they know what they're doing.
I think that is a good teaching moment. If you hadn't called it a review and called it a teaching experience, would she have had a problem with it? I think it is important that kids continually get exposed to the material.
