True Teachers

I love this quote from Bridging English: "True teachers are those who use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross; then, having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create their own." Poet and novelist, Nikos Kazantzakis (Milner, Milner, & Mitchell 14)

Finding our Way!

I'm sure you all have questions about taking this next step. You have thought about it and dreamt about it and now you're at the threshold and it's exciting and scary all at the same time. You WILL make it and you know that but you do have your doubts from time to time. As you read and think and talk and write and teach, please be patient with your progress and please know that you can come to both Lija and myself at any time with your concerns. We're in this together and we will all be better prepared for this noble profession at the end of it. So, hold on tight!!!
