Welcome to the spring 2010 semester and to this fresh, new blog, waiting to be filled by all of us.
This blog will be your class away from class this semester. For the first 6 weeks of the semester, we will see each other twice a week but will need to communicate with each other more than that. I will ask you to write weekly posts here in response to my post, which will almost always be in response to something we did or talked about or read in class. For another 6 weeks, we will be apart from each other altogether, in our separate placements in the schools. This blog will then serve as our primary means of communicating as a group and of discussing the many pressing issues that are sure to arise in your field placements and teaching experiences.
After we've met for the first time on January 25th, please post a quick shout-out here to your new cohort pals. We are in it together for the long haul--let's be sure to start out thoughtfully. Looking forward to seeing what transpires here over the next 11 months. Fasten your seatbelts!
