You have an awesome way of taking what you are visualizing and making it into a final product. Your students are blessed to have that in their teacher. When you couple that with your industry experience you are a great teacher. Can you imagine being described that way when you were a student? Feels weird huh?Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11030119516612160433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725285395319049030.post-60577153175838564662014-04-29T20:50:35.769-04:002014-04-29T20:50:35.769-04:00I have to agree that being a teacher and going thr...I have to agree that being a teacher and going through the NTI classes has definitely allowed me to gain a new appreciation for teachers. I know when I attended school I never really had an appreciation for teachers at the time. I was trying just to get by and graduate. I feel like I never had a connection with any of my teachers which is one of the reasons why I was lazy and never felt motivated. Now that I've learned a lot of different teaching methods through the NTI program, I feel like I can have a connection with my students. Dr. Burns and Ms. Chillis showed me that we can be effective teachers as long as we plan and are dedicated to our craft!Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14344797112988942811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725285395319049030.post-60229603627603686792014-04-28T21:04:33.642-04:002014-04-28T21:04:33.642-04:00Yes I agree.

To add, pin pointing one thing versus several things that we learned in NTI is hard to say. We learned so many valuable nuggets that when put into practice, would essentially continue to help us throughout our teaching career.
