Open Mic

Spring break is coming to a close, I hear of the students disinterest and wonder if I am prepared. I have been told the last semester goes quickly, and planning becomes even more critical. To run out of time is not an option. We must meet and exceed the curriculum. I had a hard time getting the students going after the last break. These are the challenges we face, but like the others they will fade. The classes at NTI this year gave back to me more than the sum of the material. Each of us has experienced trials this year, I found strength in each of you. This is a class of highly motivated people striving for a single outcome. To achieve excellence in any endeavor requires this. I received New Teacher of the Year a couple of weeks ago. (What were they thinking?) As I reflect on this honor it occurs to me this was earned by all that attend, and certainly instruct this class. Your drive has driven me. I will recommend this class to all new teachers.

  1. Ken,

    Congratulations on receiving New Teacher of the Year. Your comments are very inspirational. I liked the the comment: "The classes at NTI this year gave back to me more than the sum of the material." The training and material we have received during this past year is tremendous. We are all muc better prepared to go out and serve as a result. This has been a year of many trials and I believe we have all grown.

    Thanks,
    Ron
