English Companion Ning
I spent some time this morning poking around English Companion Ning. This is basically a discussion forum for teachers where they can post a question and other teachers can answer and give their advice. There is a particularly long thread of comments in response to a post where a teacher asked for suggestions on how to run his classroom the day after one of the students in his school was tragically killed in a car accident. This is a difficult situation for sure and it presented itself a couple of times during my high school years. Reading the advice and condolensces to this teacher reminded me of the profound impact that teachers can have on their students. It reaffirmed to me that this isn't an easy job I'm signing up for, but it will be worth it. I have a feeling that resources like this one will be invaluable to me when my time comes to stand in front of the classroom.
