Open Mic

The semester has flown by very quickly. As I reflect on how the Spring semester started, it reminded me of being on a ride at an amusement park. At first you are sitting still and then once you are strapped in, you are whisked away. The Career Tech Department at South Cobb is a true reflection of phrase, "hit the ground running". Not only were guest speakers and hands on activities infused into lesson plans the first few weeks, but there were various CTSO field trips and activities that allowed students to begin their foray into the Career Tech world. I am very appreciative of the fact that I have taken my NTI course at GSU. This course shouldbe a model acroos the state for other courses. It not anly gives new teachers confidence when the semesters begin quickly, but it also speaks to the need and marriage of public school teaching and vocational training. I could have easily felt that taking this course was just another hurdle to jump through, but I do rely on what I have learned to help me begin a quiclkly moving semester.
