Last Friday I went to T H Rogers to further continue my “observation”. Initially the plan was I will participate in one of the middle school science classes, but as fate would have it, it turned out that particular class had gone out to a field trip! The secretary asked me if I would like to observe in middle school art class instead and I thought why not! I am so glad that I stepped in that art class.It was a morning filled up with fun , excitement and some introspection
Seven years back I made Houston my second home as I started my professional role as a Geophysics instructor in one of the oil and gas companies. Worldwide, Houston is known for being a big hub of oil giants and also one the largest medical centers of the world. Apart from the attractions of numerous museum and fun filled neighborhoods, the city of Houston exudes a strong cosmopolitan population. Houstonians have also put tremendous efforts to build a strong community. Recently I was introduced to the various approaches of community based education and of the various categories, I personally have a strong inclination for place based education. Place based education incorporates local traditions, heritage, ecosystem to transform learning into a fun filled environment. In this essay I would be briefly discussing about my experience at Houston Public Library.
Recently I had the opportunity to "observe" teachers in action at the Briarmeadow Charter School, Houston. Getting "observation hours" done was a part ACT teaching license program. Observing another teacher is an excellent way to learn and spread best practices. It also allows to make an informed decision about career field.
University of Houston held it's Graduate Orientation on 18th Aug. For me, this is the second Grad school after a long gap of 16 years, in a different country and in a different field. This was indeed an exciting moment for me!
The last month has been quite intense ( academically and happenings in Houston). So what did I learn in the last 4 weeks?
It is just a month that I started my classes at the UoH and it has been quite eventful indeed.
The week started with a stellar event, a solar eclipse. Although Houston did not witness total solar eclipse, but everyone was excited! |
