I take my hat off to NTI. Only a short time ago. I struggled haplessly as new instructor with numerous challenges to sort. I thought I was pretty organized but after NTI training I realized I still had a ways to go. I must say, this year has been rough with tests, observations and ect, but I can't even imagine if I were not enrolled in training what might be going on in my little world. Last summer's planning really helped me to change some things in the classroom this year.
I am proud to say my classes appear to be running alot smoother and my classroom management has gotten better. My discipline referral rate dropped significantly. That is not to say I haven't had any issues, but the students have settled down for the most part. I can only give praise and thanks to Dr. Band Jessie H for helping me to see light at the end of the tunnel. I know we still have a ways to go, but I can see light. So I guess I will keep trying to be the best teacher I can be. Thanks to all my NTI support. I would like to thank each and everyone of you for a rewarding experience. Thanks again! Now lets get through the next several weeks. Back to the grind.

Training makes all the difference in the world. It's like having the right tool to construct something. When you have the right tool for the job, the job goes so smoothly. Thanks for the great feedback.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about writing something similar to Jessie and Dr. Burns. This being my first year has been quite stressful and overwhelming and I cannot imagine what my life would have been like if I had not had the training from NTI. I really enjoy working with everyone also. I will miss us getting together to talk about issues and finding solutions to the issues. Thanks again Dr. Burns and Jessie for all of your hard work. You guys do an amazing job.
