Student Teachers are the bomb!

As I sit here today and reflect on my latest awesome experience with a student teacher I can't help but think that they are an underutilized resource in our schools today.  In my district there is an actual restriction on how many quarters you may work with a student teacher.  In a time of increased collaboration and the ever increasing push for interventions and small grouping I feel like student teachers are a valuable asset that needs to be used!  What do you think?

People can see who we are too :)

I love that we live in such a visual world....maybe more visual now than ever before.  We have transitioned through a time when verbal communication was paramount.  We used to make phone calls, tell stories and talk to strangers.... now we email, surf the Web and if you have been on a city bus lately you know that most on there are listening to music, surfing the smartphone or talking/texting someone.  It is a great time in our society to be seen :)
