TTP2018 - Running Through the Finish Line





Running through the finish line:  To continue working on a task with maximum effort until after it is completed. 

Finish Line Quotes:


  • Being the first to cross the finish line makes you a winner in only one phase of life. It's what you do after you cross the line that really counts.    -Ralph Boston
  • But for each of us, isn't life about determining your own finish line?  - Diana Nyad
  • Embrace that finish line...no matter how many other runners cross it ahead of you, it's all yours. -Nike
  • 'Dead last' is greater than 'did not finish' which beats 'did not start.' - unknown
  • As long as you are alive, there are no real finish lines... catch your breath, stay fueled, and keep going.    - Jeff Lebow

Teaching Demonstration Session #3
  • 30-40 minute lesson demonstration (mock teaching) 
    Demonstrate beginning, ending, and most lesson activities.

  • Priorities: In addition to "Realistic, Replicable, and Demonstrates TEE", try to address any self-assessment goals for improvement from you Session#2 Teaching Demonstration
