Starting a New Year and a New Journey

I am entering into my third year of teaching. I always write down my ideas and lessons learned from the students I encounter. I thought I would blog throughout one year to chart my progress and see what all I learn. I am one of those people that still believes in miracles, and that a teacher can reach the hearts of students. No matter the changing status of the world, I know God has His hand in this. It is still a few weeks before school officially starts; however, I have quite a bit of inservice coming up to learn how the TCAP scores will decided whether or not I am an effective teacher. I do not agree with that. But, again, God will place me where He wants me.
