Instructors/Teachers Sharpen Your Axe

A doctor's mistake they bury.
A lawyer's mistake they put in jail.
And really scary... a teacher's mistake becomes a school board member.
To the great teacher's out there; have a great summer and use some of the time to sharpen your axe. Find a class/seminar and attend and add more to your toolbox.

Excellent advice Max.

I have a great Dean who bankrolls just about whatever I've asked.

This summer it's a grad level class in career and technical education, or CTE ("Vocational Education" is a term that has fallen out of favor with the educrats) that I'm hoping will help leverage more Carl Perkins dollars for the college and the high schools in our county.

My teaching partner is secluded in a secret location studying up for next weeks CWI exam. He is also going to do the week long prep course with the incomparable Ed Bohnart.

Two weeks after my class ends my wife and I will be off to Uganda, where I'll be working and teaching for the month of July. I suspect this will be a great education for us.

Good luck with your trip to Uganda, Lawrence. I'm sure it will be rewarding.

Your partner is in great hands with Mr. Bohnart as his instructor. I would put him at the TOP of the profession in his realm. I too studied non stop for 6 days with his guidance and was rewarded with both CWI and CWE credentials.
