Continuing Yahoo Group; Certification Process

Hello!
Congratulations to all of the graduates. I have some pix to share soon -  but I’ve been a bit distracted by the tornado that came over my house the day after graduation!
Beth B. set up a Yahoo group for Cohort 6 to keep in touch “and ask questions we might be too shy to [...]

Woops

I was misreading the Course Eval participation report – actually 22 of you have done it – and that’s 96%. I’m still hoping for 100%, but I will be bugging that one person and not all of you. Thank you for such a good turnout.
I’m looking forward to graduation! Remember to [...]

Aftermath, Tuesday, May 6

Hey guys!  You haven’t all done your course eval! We are still sitting at 74%, and that number hasn’t moved since last week.   But I appreciate the 74% who have done it.
Another topic:  several bits of feedback came in that you wanted to know more about News Shows.  Lisa Delgado made a presentation for Cohort [...]

May 2 Update

Beth sends these comments:
Sorry I have been out of touch for the last 10 days or so.  My own work got a little hectic and I had to attend to it – but, all of that is behind me now and I am turning to the piles and files of internships, those of you finishing [...]

Avalanche in March

Lots of things happening right now for Cohort 6 – M.Ed.’s, Ed.S.’s, non-degrees all; but not so much with interns.
There was a bit of confusion over the portfolio due date. To clarify: I had published March 24 as a target date for having the complete first drafts of M.Ed. (and non-degree) Portfolios and Ed.S. Applied [...]

(Remember that the Ed.S. portfolio is different. This page contains a link to the Ed.S portfolio description.)
Final contracts are progressing nicely.  Thank you all for your attention to this critical task.

We Heart Mentors

Tomorrow is my day to blog on the GLMA blog (are you looking at that yet? I highly recommend it!). While I was writing the first draft of that entry, I thought it makes sense to encourage you to be very appreciative of your mentor.
I know that you already are. However, I’m sure there [...]

Intern stuff for Feb 2

I’ve worked hard on preparations for Saturday, and the agenda is mostly ready.   Here are a few notes and reminders:
Don’t forget to bring your demographic form – officially due on Feb 1. We’ll take it on Feb 2 .
I blogged to Cohort 7 about the importance of the GLMA listserv and its new blog [...]

Following up from our Snow-Out

(If a baseball game is canceled for rain and it’s a “rain-out”, then can we call what happened Saturday a “snow-out”?)
Despite the snow and our collective inability to travel, I feel good that we accomplished at least 70% of what we needed to accomplish on Saturday. While I missed seeing you all, I know that [...]
