The Craziness
I've gone over the deep end. Sure I've had some setbacks. Tooth problems. Job interview. But really, why can't I finish off the Kabul workshop? I'm almost done wockawockawocka, but I'm not done. And I'm almost getting complacent about not done mode. I was really trying to finish today but I couldn't get any good ideas. Maybe tomorrow, the ideas will come.

What are some of your tags? I bet there's a matching book.

professional basics,
management of programs
lesson planning
teaching methods,
assessment and eval.

I'm awake at 2 so i thought, Hey why not try to work on the workshop?
Ask them (or you do it as a wrap up) to indicate what they noticed as part of the teachers lesson planning and teaching methods, and ask them (or you tell them) what belief system underlies the lessons and methods.
Finally, ask (or tell) how they think the teacher would evaluate his/her lessons and the work done by his/her students.
Remember, in the "Ordinary" book, not all the students become enthralled with writing.
Your "Amen" (or whatever the Afghans say) could be a discussion of whether or not the book teacher is a professional.
I have to go to the library today anyway, i'll see if the books are there.
thanks, d.
I think we're in the homestretch here. I loved talking to the program coordinator on skype. because she's from England. She kept saying things were, "brilliant." Isn't that great how they use that adjective to mean, "Okay. fine."
I already gave my copies away. Sorry.

True professionals never stop learning. You could commend them for continuing to learn.
Great joy indeed.
