Linda got our principal on the phone and refused to take "no" or even "maybe" for an answer in regards to our need for support getting our students to work with us. I love her! At my principal's request, I have turned in the names of the 31 students who have yet to turn in a single assignment. Yes, 31. One young lady finally turned in three assignments this morning. I could have kissed her through the phone, but her voicemail was full.
I've also had a lively exchange with my supervisor, Kristin, during the course of the day. She and I seem to have a similar approach to working with students, and I think she's finally realized this. The main disconnect was her initial feeling that she had so much to teach us, but now she's started to learn from us as well. Well, that and the major disconnect of her use of pedagogical terms I just don't know. "Self-reflection?" I told her about this blog. No, I didn't give her the URL.
