Sunday Oct. 26th

I really liked the presentations today on minority recruitment and the YRE.  I strongly agree that we need to attain and retain minority teachers in our schools and not just in our schools that are highly minority populated.  If schools are not going to go above and beyond to have a diverse staff then they can at least learn more about their students and where they come from.  As far as the YRE presentation goes I liked how you opened it up to your classmates for suggestions or stories from experience.  I personally enjoy the YRE it really helps to eliminate or at least minimize burn out by all involved.

I am also glad that this is Sunday which means treats for everyone next class because I only have one weekend left to spend at WIU. Good luck to all of you as you work your way to the end.
