FINAL BLOG POST - OUR "DAILY TRIPLE" (DUE 12/1).

This week I would like you to use your imagination. You have just won the lottery and will leave your teaching post immediately to travel around the world. As you leave your keys you meet your replacement. You are asked to give this new teacher just ONE piece of advice. What would that be, and why? Enjoy your world expedition!

Blog Post - Week 7

This past week in my own teaching I felt a little disconnected which prompts my question to you, "What was the moment (or moments) when I felt most disconnected or disengaged as a teacher - the moment(s) I said to myself, I'm just going through the motions here?"

Awesome NTI Learning

I felt the need to comment on the fact that even though our NTI classes have been long, Dr. B and Jessie have made them so interesting and informative! I feel that we have all been exposed to some clever new techniques, and I can honestly say that the learning in NTI has truly been a pleasure…mo rote memorization with subsequent regurgitation for a test. That was THE way most of us where educated, but this is so much more compelling!

There they go AGAIN, teaching by example…it really has worked with us, but this is an exceptional NTI class :) :)

garyb said...: I totaly agree with you. It is easy to tell that these teachers have earned their degrees and back them up with results. I would hate to go back to the old ways of teaching.

Julie J. said...: I agree with the comments made here. The Saturdays are very long days, but also very much worth it. The knowledge we have gleaned from Dr. B and Jessie is overwhelming and one of these days when I have a chance to really think everything through, I'm sure it will be so much more helpful! I love the knowledge I am learning and only wish I would have had all of this 3 years ago!; October 3, 2007 at 12:10:00 AM EDT
