Today\u2019s class was even more packed, if that can be possible.\u00a0 We had 29 in a class that comfortably seats 20 (same room as yesterday).\u00a0 We had three Brians in the room (yesterday\u2019s class too).\u00a0 Unlike yesterday\u2019s class though, most of the students were going for a Multiple Subject Credential (K-6 grades).<\/p>\n
There were still a few of us going for higher grade levels (grades 8-12), and we all seemed to sit at two tables.\u00a0 I sat at a table with some really smart folks (3 Masters, 1 PhD).\u00a0 The other 8-12 grade table had at least two Masters level people as well.\u00a0 Wow, smart group.\u00a0 I also found out that one of the Brians has headed the advice from our mutual adviser, John, and has picked up a second credential: he is going for both Social Studies and English.\u00a0 I probably need to do the same, especially since the trend seems to be moving more towards integrating English and History.\u00a0 Art, Computers, Technology and Business are other possibilities for additional single subject credentials.<\/p>\n
Our teacher for this class on \u201cinclusion\u201d was a retired Vice Principal who fell in love with teaching teachers at NHU.\u00a0 The class started slow, but once she started lecturing, it was like jumping to light speed.\u00a0 Everyone was taking notes furiously and most had these shocked faces \u2013 too much information too fast!\u00a0 Being married to a teacher and all (and having a kid with a modified education plan), I already knew much of the information that was presented.\u00a0 I\u2019m so totally going to get an A in this class! (no curve in this class BTW, strictly based on achievement)<\/p>\n
Oh ya, the highway route took only 15 minutes \u2013 half the time of yesterday\u2019s route.\u00a0 I guess I should take the highway.\u00a0 The thing is, today seemed awfully light.\u00a0 Often, it\u2019s stop-and-go this time of day.\u00a0 I think the highway is going to be vastly unpredictable.\u00a0 I\u2019ll take the highway, but I should also know how to get to school from any off-ramp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
