You've helped me learn to stand up for myself.<br />I am also so glad, Teresa, that our instructors are "in the field." I was frustrated in undergrad that many of my professors had been out of the classroom for years and years. They weren't always practical in their suggestions. Knowing that Erin was heading back to school in the fall to do the job we were learning about gave her tons of "street cred!"Pam Meiserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532966714112297782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236649700922159110.post-27728943021612226752009-08-17T18:20:13.173-07:002009-08-17T18:20:13.173-07:00Thanks for being willing to share your insight as ...Thanks for being willing to share your insight as a practitioner this summer. Every situation is different and having those experiences to share adds a richness and depth to the courses.<br /><br />Enjoy your precious few days with you children and have a wonderful school year. Even though I haven't spent as much time preparing for school as I usually do, I'll kick it into overdrive in the next few days. There is something so exciting about new beginnings, and I love to get back to working with the kids (and my co-workers) once again!E.

The summer as been intense and I am just now able to start processing it all. <br /><br />You are 100% correct that the dialogue in both classes this summer made both sessions more meaningful.<br /> <br />One of the things I think makes the library program at Dominican such a good one is that we are lucky to get practitioners and not theorist for instructors. I could not have imagined instructors in this program that did not have the real world experience that all of our professors have had. It is that body of knowledge that is so valuable; far more valuable than anything I have read in any textbook.Teresa Hamlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04015305749667118569noreply@blogger.com
