This year I did not get the opportunity to participate in any formal workshops. None were offered by the Hunterdon County ETTC, nor by any of the regional colleges or universities. But that does not mean I did not learn new techniques. Marco DiMarcello, my mentor, taught me quite a few things. Watching him conduct a scored discussion in November of 2001, I learned how to ask better “devil’s advocate” type questions, by listening to …showed first 75 words of 325 total…

…showed last 75 words of 325 total…better. And unfortunately I did not get the chance to see Dr. William Fernekes run a question and answer session in his classes during the second quarter, and then with the switch to CWS and completely new material, my time was monopolized putting together a quality class that was meaningful to the students. But next year I fully and wholly intend on seeing other colleagues run sessions so that I can pick up more strategies.
