FTW means for the win for those that didn't know. This post is about collaboration which is a vital part of teaching and working. Last week we were supposed to put together midterms for our classes. What teachers do is if they teach the same class they share a test. In my case my colleague and friend Victor teaches the same class I do, grade two C/L. Victor had missed 3 days of work without any notification to anybody. When he came back he was on thin ice but poor Victor looked like a zombie! It turns out that he hasn't been sleeping well, he's had a bout of insomnia. I go up to him and I tell him that you need to have a midterm ready on Monday (it was Friday). He is drifting off and I go "okay you and I can make one for both of our classes because you look like you're drifting off." At lunch we sat down and I took charge and we made the test together and this was an instance of awesome friendship and collaboration in my opinion. I've been hanging out with Victor a bit since I've started working here he's a very nice guy and he's been on TV! He played a small part on a few episodes of Malcom in the Middle and he was in a scene in The Social Network. I haven't seen The Social Network but I knew who he was when I met him. That's my story of epic collaboration and I felt pretty good about doing that whole thing.
Till next time.
