I’ve started going into school a few hours at a time this week. I am also trying to finish up a few of the Summer-To-Do-List items before I am officially on duty again, so there’s been less time for media this week. Or maybe I’m just studying the professional books harder and they’re taking longer to get through because I am making the brain-shift from theory to practice and beginning to pen some actual plans for my classroom.
No, I’m Not Saying Going Back To School Is Like Prison! Stay Tuned: It’s About A Book…
