DAILY BLOG THOUGHT

Have you ever had to work with someone (either partnered in the classroom) or at a job site that just was difficult to work with?

How did you handle it?  What tools did you use to cope with a difficult co-worker or partner?
We will discuss this further on Wednesday.


HOMEWORK
Please make sure you have made an appointment with your supervisor to set up a time to go over your goals for the month of December. Remember this is something both you and your supervisor should discuss and agree on.  It is IMPORTANT to communicate what you want to learn to your immediate supervisor.  For example, say I really want to learn how to properly chart or sterilize equipment, let your supervisor know.  It may not happen this month but hopefully you can work up to it.  The month of December is all about your site supervisor learning to trust you and feel comfortable with you!
GOAL SHEET - TYPED UP - COPY DUE TO BUCKLEY -  DECEMBER 10TH!

Please refer to Wednesdays blog for specifics and links

Happy Thursday

Hope you are all having a great day.  Just one quick announcement -
Please do NOT drive other students in your vehicle.  It goes against district policy.
Thank you - Ms. Buckley
