Hmmm, I had some great teachers in high school. On another note, if all them had been as great as most of these in this NTI group, I would have had it made. Sitting back on Saturday and watching everyone give their presentations made me realize........"I once thought I was the best, now I know I'm just one of the best". Some of you guys and gals really lay it out pretty good to say the least. Coming from the standpoint of liking to work alone, I know this assignment wasn't the easiest but everyone did a very good job, and I would like to continue to think that I am in a room full of greatness each time I come to NTI.
P.S. To my group, I think we pulled it off pretty well but I wish I could have done a little more to help. I have been extremely busy as of late and simply didn't have the time to put forth all that this project required. I made a poor example of a leader and for that, I apologize.

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?"

I thought you guys did a very good job. Your team gave a lot of information. This was one of the most fruitful projects I have experienced at NTI. You can witness students evolving into great teachers right before your eyes. It is truly a joy to watch!
Good job,

I think our group did a great job and you shouldn't be hard on yourself. Remember you can do only as much as you can do and sometimes that just has to suffice.
I thought your group did a very nice job and I thought you did a great job when you explained conflict resolution. J. Burns
Conflict resolution is not an easy topic. Last school year I had to attend a two day class on this topic. So I know that it was not easy, and I think you did not do a good job but a GREAT JOB.
I enjoyed all the groups this Saturday! After watching some of my classmates I understand how teachers become "TEACHER OF THE YEAR"...I am certain that a few will come out the NTI 2007-2008 class!
