Ann and Maria

28 March 2014: Yeah, so today's post is nearly identical to yesterday's, but it is what it is. Ha! I had dinner with some more former students, Ann and Maria, who are both actually graduating with Master's degrees and completing their student-teaching assignments in the public schools. Ann is already working in a (semi)-permanent placement. Maria would almost surely be about to get hired somewhere, but she's pregnant with her second baby and instead of going right to a full-time teaching job, will work at Shepherd, adjuncting in our department, for the baby's first year. Anyway, it's especially gratifying to catch up with these students, who are out in the world, making a difference in the always complicated world of public education.
