Hi, I'm Jason, I teach third grade in San Bernardino. I started Power Teaching 3 weeks ago, and I have a written a blog about my beginnings! The link is in my signature, check it out!

Hi Jason! Only 3 weeks ago, and you're already blogging?? We LOVE people like you! What has been the easiest to implement, and what has been the most difficult so far?

Welcome!

Well, my first blog entry begins with "I have drunk the Kool Aid." I loved it from seeing the seminar, but realized it was a drastic change to implement, so I thought blogging would be a good way to reflect and eventually get some feedback (if anyone decides to read it ).

The easiest thing to implement has actually been Teach-OK. It hasn't been the simplest, but I'm amazed at how well it works already. I am still improving it (trying to get them to do more gestures, etc), but it's really one of those Teacher Heaven moments every time I use it. It feels like cheating!

The hardest... let's see... none of the actual components have been hard, but avoiding falling back into old habits like yelling has been a spot where I slip occasionally. Today was great up until lunch, but after lunch I was kind of in a funk and the PT didn't go as smoothly. I'm internalizing it more and more though, and it's getting better.
