Slice of Life-Wondering

Slicing with the Two Writing Teachers community is a pleasure every week.  Thank you Stacey, Tara, Anna, Betsy, Dana, Kathleen, Beth, and Deb.

     

How do you become the teacher with the beautiful
red apple and a cup of pens and pencils on the desk?

I am working as an advisor to a young person who is working in an alternative licensing program started by a nearby independent school, separate from their own K-8 school, and now joining our Public Education & Business Coalition (PEBC) which will enlarge the established program quite a bit. This is not the first time I've done it, but it's been about three years since the last one. I am primarily in charge of the teacher, meetings, and observations with the resulting evaluations, reflections and goals for what's next. In addition, I also meet with the mentor teacher (a former colleague)  with whom he works closely in the classroom.
