I can't imagine teaching that long, but if the current economy forces me to do that...they will be the incentive package!gael lynchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08109953416971003657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3557091123510132179.post-21532539986821457042009-05-29T16:00:12.130-04:002009-05-29T16:00:12.130-04:00Very interesting.

As far as getting my grand children (Cole and Nicholas anyway) that would be awesome so hang in there.George Stockwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06993500467805360831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3557091123510132179.post-56988573913685596392009-05-28T20:35:22.973-04:002009-05-28T20:35:22.973-04:00Whoa!

I went to No. Carolina to become a trainer for a program called "Time to Teach"--which really has a great way allowing teachers to understand that it is not only their right, but their JOB to have kids focus 100% on learning. The mantra is pretty much just that..."I must have time to teach in order for you to have time to learn." We use it in our cluster now and go back to basics, modeling all the little ins and outs of what good learning looks like and what we expect. You would be floored at how well our kids behave in class. We had a sub in today, and she told us she loves coming to our classrooms, b/c the kids really know how to get down to the business of learning. I hope I get your grandkids, George. They can teach the other kids for me! (By then I'll be too old to do it myself!!!)gael lynchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08109953416971003657noreply@blogger.com
