Teaching is more than a job of educating our youth. The students look at you as the model of adult hood they see how you communicate with other students, teachers and administrators. They even know when your not feeling good. Many of the students I have taught in the pass always come back and speak with me about their experiences in college and their life after High school. I feel you have to be more than a teacher to the students , but you also must be professional at your job never to cross any lines. Students no who care about them and their success for education and life after high school. I recently took a class this week which only lasted two days it was an inservice for some of the Career tech teachers. It was called CRISS. Basically a program which taught you how to use different strategies in the classroom to allow the students to be more involved in the learning process. The funny thing was everything we discussed I had already had in NTI. I feel the the year long process of NTI really has helped me to become a better teacher in my field. The concept was similar to our program which gave me confidence to actually be more involved in the Workshop.
