Well, it's September 7th, and it's my first day sharing the classroom. Okay, so it's not as if I've been alone for 24 years. There's always been twenty or thirty of us in the room.
But this is the first time I've had assistance at the front of the room. I'm lucky to have two TAs to work with for ENG 1PI. I've never actually had even one TA before, let alone two. I've always steered the ship on my own. I'm really looking forward to sharing the helm. (That's the end of the ship metaphor.)
So, welcome to Melodiee and Chris! Together with our students we'll figure out how best to make the classroom experience work for everyone. I'm hoping that, between the three of us, we'll have the time to really help people out with their weak spots.
Among other things, we'd like our classroom to be a place where people can all find a space to be curious, creative, and kind. The three Cs--almost.
Here's to a grand semester!
