BIST Training

I will admit, I awoke today and thought, "Crud, I have BIST Training tonight!"

While it sounded great 6 weeks ago when I signed up, the last thing I really wanted to do tonight was listen to a presenter for four hours. I have had quite a week, and the couch sounded more enjoyable. Of course, the district paid big bucks for me to be there, so I had to go.

I got there at 5 and chose a seat. I had a Pepsi in hand, and braced myself for the evening. Two other teachers from my building joined me, and we were all saying, "I hope this ends early tonight."

Yes, my mood was low. I was tired, and there was a puppy at home I would rather hang out with.

However once the presenter started talking, told us we'd be out at 8, and was making us laugh, my mood changed.

I learned a great deal tonight during the training. I really did. It will help me in my job which for me is the ultimate test for a workshop.

Oh, and I wish I had paid more attention and I could tell you what BIST stands for, but I can't. Hey, it was a friday evening, give me a break! :-) It's basically a model for dealing with behavior in the classroom. It's really good stuff.

So, I have to be there at 8:30 in the morning and since it's up North, I am going to crash for the night.

'nite all!

Life.
Is.
Good.
