Things that I have learned as a student in NTI.....
From being in NTI I have learned so much. This program has helped me to grow so much as a teacher that came into this field from industry. The program has given me structure and direction which I felt was missing in my first two years of instruction. Learning how to deal with classroom issues by becoming more familiar with classroom management and lab management. Also this program is lead by GREAT instructors, who are always available to answer questions and guide you in the right direction. I'm really sad to know that my time in NTI is coming to an end, being apart of NTI 08/09 I've met other great teachers from various diciplines and other school systems that will be friends forever. I must admit that we had an AWESOME class that was very competititive. I have learned so much from each of them, as well as the instructors of the program. All the things that I have learned will continue to go with me throughout my educational career. I appreciate all that NTI do to help career technical education, sometimes we feel like the stepchildren of education. This program shows that we are the 4runners of education in this day and time. I am so thankful for this program as it allowed me to grow in areas of creating lesson plans, constructing differentiated instructions, class/lab management, creating a variety of assessments and projects to challenge all levels of students and time management. Thanks NTI...............I am always here to lend a hand if needed.
Hi Keio,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your post and I agree with you about the many things that NTI have taught us while being in the program. Like you I had a hard time making the transition from industry into the classroom. I really would have like to been in this program before I started teaching. It would have been useful in so many ways. I am glad that I had an opportunity to meet you and the many professionals that I will continue to associate with in the years to come.

I too enjoyed your post. I wanted to take your class from the first time you did a presentation. Our class is competetive, but we all benefit. All have been inspirational to me, we have all met challenges together. I too will miss the people that took, and drove this program.
