First week in MAC

I can't believe that the first week of the MAC program is already over. This year will fly by before I even know it. It's weird being the student that's from out of state this time. Moving to Ann Arbor from Chicago is probably a good experience for me, but it's still challenging to live somewhere new when you don't really know anyone. Everyone in the program have been so nice and helpful though so I'm not too worried :)

There have been a lot of interesting discussion about a variety of educational topics...my favorite discussion thus far has been the reading by Lampert. I had not previously thought about all the subconscious thoughts that an experienced teacher has while teaching - moving through all the standards and benchmarks, keeping in mind gender, racial differences, as well as how to educate students to be effective problem solvers. It was wonderful, yet scary to read that experience.
