Let me start off by saying that I am sorry I did not post a comment after first looking over your powerpoint. I have had a busy weekend.

The first thing I would like to say is that you are going to make a wonderful teacher. I feel that you have a natural gift for making all your students successful. It shows through everything you have done during you stint as a student teacher. When I read and hear about what you have done and how you do it, you make me want to be a better teacher.

Now, on to your powerpoint. It seems like John was a handful. He seems to have many issues that affected his education as well as others in your classroom. What I really loved about your BIP was your rewards system. By have small rewards throughout the week and a large reward at the end of the week, John was able to get immediate gratification from the small reward and also allowed him to strive for a larger reward at the end of each week.

As for conferencing with John, I am very curious for more specifics. Did you have conferences daily with him as well as on Friday? I also held conferences with my student on Fridays. However, I feel that this may not have been the best day because my student seemed to forget everything we talked about and where he hoped to improve. Did you have the same issues when you held you conferences at the end of the week?

Great Powerpoint,
Nic
