Partner Dialogue

I arranged to talk to Prof. Evelyn Ponce, she is in charge of the junior high groups in English subject, I prepared the dialogue on Saturday because we both are a little bit less busy.

We talked about the situation in the school and the development she has seen in the tutorials, I could see a significant interest on Evelyn , she is really happy with the actions my plan has had. This situation was necessary for the students, parents and even to the institution, because there had been a lack of interest on parents. We agreed that the community has some trouble about the perspective of a bilingual method; they think that the school must provide everything that the student need to success and their performance shouldn´t exist. Evelyn has seen the actions to put the parents inside the problematic about their kids, she also has seen the activities students has made and the improvement, by this time she recognized that the level on students has been increased but unfortunately the school still has trouble with the assistance they can provide to students. This program was my own program, but as Evelyn and I have seen  there is not enough support  in all the moments of the action plan, even when there is a commitment from them it hasn´t been followed as good as we wanted.

About the Joint Productive activities, we have also seen the interest on the kids about the workshop but many of them are not decided to attend, we need to remember that the workshop is not an obligation so, they take it for granted. We also talked about how some activities hasn´t been productive for some students especially in seventh grade because they can not put enough effort and this implies more effort by the teacher to explain a topic again, she agreed because she is dealing with the same guys everyday and it happens in daily classes.

Then, I showed the type of lesson I´, teaching and she found some of them very entertained and didactic, she gave me some advices about these lessons and ask me for permission to use some of them in her classes.

At the end, we agreed that we deal with many difficulties with students and parents, and the labor becomes harder. We deal to set another date at the end of the SS.
