Student teaching

Our nephew Ira or Ike as he is called in the family, is beginning his student teaching as he works on his MAT degree at the University of North Carolina. As a teacher it is rewarding to see other members in the family go into this important if underpaid profession. You can learn about his adventures by clicking onto his blog which is listed with other blogs we enjoy reading.

Another nephew is teaching English on the Navajo Indian Reservation in New Mexico and has been doing so for several years. He recently completed a teaching portfolio which is a new requirement in the state and this gave him a much appreciated raise of $10,000. Since his car just died, the raise will really come in handy.
