Web Conference #2

Web Conference #2 took place on November 17, 2011, at 8:00 p.m.  I believe the number in attendance was 23.  The conference focus was our Internship and requirements for the 18 month program.  Ms. Borel had slides in addition to verbally telling us the information.  These slides are posted to the class website and virtual office discussion board.  She related the requirements of the Internship and talked about the comprehensive summative final report.  Also discussed was the Accreditation and Standards that included the ISTE 8 standards with 33 performance indicators, TExEs Principal Framework with the 3 domains and 38 skills required, and the state standards.  She talked about the field based activities and course based embedded assignments.  Our class lineup for the next 18 months was also discussed.  We were told to line up our campus mentors and begin filling out our paperwork for the internship.  


In addition to all of the above information, Ms. Borel allowed time for more questions and concerns.   Overall, this conference was extremely informative for me.  I have a better understanding of the next 18 months and the expectations for classes to come.  I understand how this particular degree works with the option of taking both certification exams.  After sitting in on this web conference, I am thrilled with my decision to continue my education.
