I just want to say that it is so great to see how much everyone is enjoying AND benefiting from this NTI thing!! I am SO included in this! It is funny how sometimes GREAT things turn up when you least expect them. What I mean is, like MOST of us, the NTI program was a requirement and something I had to do. But as it turns out, we all found a lot more than we expected: we found great new teaching skills, we found a good time with like minds and we also found friends. I think it's great. Kudos (as always) to Jesse and Dr. Burns for all of the help and for making us all WANT to come every week. And dare I say that you both have EVEN made me forget about how much it costs! (Well, at least until I go to lunch and have nothing in my wallet!)
Honestly, I do feel that NTI has been invaluable to helping us 'do right' by our kids; by teaching them properly & effectively. We learn methods that are proven to work, bottom line. Thanks teach(es!)
I second that one Core!
ReplyDeleteI taught for only 1/2 of a semester before the summer section of NTI started and I couldn't imagine being without it for any prolonged period of time. I feel sorry for so many teachers who don't have it. It's hard to imagine that districts around the steate would even consider doing away with the program but it's happened!
Thanks for the kind words.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Just like all of you, Jessie and I get overwhelmed and discouraged at times. Your comment came at the right time for both of us. Funny how that happens. . . Dr. J.
